FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket features a 10,000 mm waterproof rating, offering reliable protection against moderate rain.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a hooded funnel neck, designed to block wind and rain. Specific adjustment features are not detailed but typically include drawcords on higher-end models.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for weather protection. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Refer to the care label for precise instructions.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are described as 'zip pockets' and are designed to keep essentials safe. While the jacket material is waterproof, the zippers themselves might not be fully waterproof, so it's advisable to keep sensitive electronics protected from direct moisture.

What does 'WeatherTite' mean?

WeatherTite is Karrimor's technology that provides waterproof protection, often combined with DWR treatment for enhanced water repellency.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading on the surface or soaking into the fabric.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Check that any vents or openings are clear. Consider using a technical wash designed for outdoor gear.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax-based product specifically designed for zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: Designed as a functional outerwear piece for adult males. Its primary function is weather protection. It can be layered over other clothing for warmth.

Care Instructions: Follow the specific instructions on the garment's care label. Generally, for polyester garments with waterproof treatments:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to maintain the jacket's water-repellent capabilities, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
