Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Purple - 12

The '10k Waterproof' rating means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water penetrates. '10k Breathable' means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of fabric over 24 hours. These ratings indicate strong resistance to rain while effectively allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.

The Karrimor Urban Jacket is a waterproof and breathable shell, designed to protect against rain and wind. It does not provide significant insulation on its own. For winter conditions, it is recommended to wear appropriate thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers underneath to stay warm.

Always consult the care label inside your jacket. Typically, you should machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle, using a technical wash specifically formulated for waterproof breathable clothing (avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners). Line dry the jacket completely, away from direct heat.

The product description focuses on the waterproof, breathable features and adjustable components but does not explicitly mention the presence of external or internal pockets. Please refer to product imagery or specific product tags for details on pocket availability.

No, the hood is designed to be foldaway, meaning it can be neatly stored within the collar when not in use. It is integrated into the jacket structure and cannot be fully detached.

The shell of the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% Nylon, and the lining is 100% Polyester, featuring a mesh construction for breathability.

This is often due to internal condensation rather than external leakage. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to manage perspiration. Also, check that the adjustable cuffs are not too tight, which can restrict airflow. If the jacket's DWR is worn, water soaking into the outer fabric can reduce breathability, so consider re-treating the DWR.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish has likely worn off. After washing the jacket according to care instructions, apply a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. This will restore the fabric's ability to repel water and maintain breathability.

Ensure the hood is completely dry before attempting to fold and store it. Carefully fold it along its natural creases, making sure no fabric is bunched up. Practice the folding motion a few times to get a feel for how it best stores into the collar compartment.
