FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket features a 10,000mm waterproof rating, indicating a high level of protection against rain.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

It is a waterproof and windproof shell. For very cold weather, layering with insulating items like fleece or down is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Periodically re-proof with a suitable spray or wash-in treatment.

What does 'WeatherTite technology' mean?

WeatherTite is Karrimor's proprietary technology that balances waterproofing with breathability, keeping you dry from external moisture while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be windproof, providing protection against wind chill and keeping you comfortable in breezy conditions.

What material is the jacket made from?

The shell of the jacket is made from 100% Nylon.

What sizes and colors are available?

This particular guide focuses on the XL Green variant. Other sizes and colors such as Blue, Orange, and Black are available for the Karrimor Hot Rock Waterproof Jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, despite being waterproof.

This can be due to internal condensation from sweat. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Check that the WeatherTite membrane is not blocked by dirt; clean according to care instructions.

Water is seeping through seams.

Verify that the taped seams are intact. If they appear damaged or are peeling, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Regular care and avoiding abrasive cleaning methods can help prevent this.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any dirt or salt residue. Allow to dry, then apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Hood adjustment is not secure.

Ensure the drawcords are properly threaded through the toggles. If the toggles are loose, they may need tightening or replacing.

  • Breathable material to prevent overheating.
  • Fully taped seams for maximum water resistance.
  • Adjustable hood and hem for a personalized fit.
  • Lightweight and packable for easy transport.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure the hood and hem drawcords are adjusted for a snug fit before heading out.

Compatibility: Designed as outerwear, this jacket is compatible with a range of base and mid-layers, from t-shirts to fleeces, for varying temperature conditions. It is suitable for activities such as hiking, trekking, camping, and general outdoor wear.

Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, always follow the care label instructions. Typically, this involves:

  1. Washing: Machine washable using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface, consider using a technical fabric re-proofer designed for waterproof-breathable garments to restore its performance.
