Product Information
Full details
The Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket offers versatile weather protection for adults engaged in outdoor adventures or daily wear. Its primary advantage is the adaptable 3-in-1 design, combining a highly waterproof outer shell with a removable fleece for adjustable warmth, making it perfect for unpredictable weather. Users should note that while versatile, the fleece alone may not suffice for extremely cold conditions without additional layering.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme winter weather?
While the Karrimor 3 in 1 Jacket provides good warmth and waterproof protection, for extreme winter conditions or very cold temperatures, you may need to add additional insulating base layers beneath the fleece for optimal warmth.
What does "10,000mm waterproof" mean?
10,000mm waterproof refers to the hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand a 10,000mm column of water before leakage. This indicates a high level of waterproofing, making it suitable for heavy rain and extended exposure to wet conditions.
Can I wear the outer shell on its own?
Yes, the outer shell is designed to be worn independently as a lightweight, waterproof, and breathable layer, perfect for rainy but mild weather when you don't need the extra warmth of the fleece.
How do I re-apply the waterproof coating?
If water stops beading on the outer fabric, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-application. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, following the product's instructions carefully after washing the jacket.
What is the primary material of the jacket and fleece?
The outer jacket is made from 100% Nylon, providing durability and water resistance. The inner removable fleece jacket is made from 100% Polyester, offering soft, lightweight insulation.
Is there a specific way to wash the jacket to maintain its features?
Yes, machine wash both layers separately or with similar colors on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Use a mild, non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the waterproof and breathable properties.
Troubleshooting
Feeling damp or clammy inside the jacket even when it's not raining heavily.
This could be due to condensation if the jacket's breathability is overwhelmed by high activity or excessive layering. Ensure you're wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that wick moisture. If the outer fabric is saturated (wetting out), the DWR coating might need reapplication. Clean the jacket as per care instructions, and consider applying a DWR restoration product.
The jacket feels too bulky or restrictive when both layers are worn.
Consider if you truly need both layers. For milder conditions, wearing only the waterproof outer shell or just the fleece might be sufficient. If you need warmth and protection, ensure your base layers are not adding excessive bulk. Choose the appropriate combination for your activity level and weather conditions.
The inner fleece jacket frequently detaches from the outer shell at the cuffs or collar.
Ensure all securing loops, toggles, or snaps (if present) at the cuffs and collar are correctly fastened when zipping the fleece into the outer jacket. Periodically check these connections, especially after active movement, to keep the layers integrated.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Highly adaptable for varying weather conditions due to its 3-in-1 design.
- Provides reliable waterproofing and effective breathability, keeping you dry and comfortable.
- The inner fleece can be worn as a standalone jacket for lighter warmth.
- Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.
- Easy to clean and maintain with machine washable components.
Cons
- May feel bulky when both layers are worn together.
- The fleece alone might not provide sufficient warmth for very cold or extreme winter conditions.
- The outer shell offers minimal insulation on its own, primarily functioning as a waterproof barrier.
- Layering both components might restrict movement slightly for some high-intensity activities.
- Design is functional rather than focused on urban fashion.
Setup
To utilize the 3-in-1 functionality, the inner fleece jacket typically zips into the outer waterproof shell. Most Karrimor 3-in-1 jackets feature:
- Main Zipper: A full-length zipper on the outer shell for attaching the fleece.
- Toggle/Loop Fasteners: Small loops or toggles, usually found at the cuffs and collar of both jackets, which secure the fleece to the shell, preventing it from riding up.
To assemble:
- Lay the outer shell flat, inside out.
- Align the fleece jacket with the outer shell.
- Zip the fleece into the outer shell's main zipper.
- Secure the cuffs and collar loops/toggles.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for adult women and comes in a size Small. While the fleece and shell are designed to be worn together, they are also fully functional as standalone garments.
Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Karrimor 3 in 1 Jacket:
- Washing: Both the 100% Nylon outer jacket and the 100% Polyester fleece are machine washable. It is recommended to wash them separately or with similar colors on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the breathability and water repellency of the outer shell.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry the outer jacket. Air dry both garments away from direct heat. The fleece can generally be tumble dried on a low setting if necessary, but air drying is always preferred.
- Water Repellency (DWR): Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer shell may diminish. If water stops beading on the fabric surface, you can restore DWR by using a wash-in or spray-on DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a well-ventilated area.
