The Karrimor Urban Jacket is designed for adult men seeking reliable protection against the elements during urban adventures or light outdoor activities. Its primary benefit lies in its advanced Weathertite technology, offering superior waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability (10K/10K). Be aware that its performance hinges on proper care, particularly following washing instructions and keeping it away from fire. This jacket is a versatile shell featuring a mesh lining for comfort, a convenient fold-away hood, adjustable cuffs, fully taped seams, and four secure zipped pockets.

A 10K waterproof rating means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water begins to penetrate. This indicates strong resistance to rain and wet conditions.
A 10K breathable rating means that 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours. This allows internal moisture (sweat) to escape, keeping you comfortable.
The jacket features a `fold-away hood`, meaning it can be neatly stored in the collar when not in use, but it is not designed to be fully detached or removed from the jacket.
It is `machine washable`. For best results and to maintain its properties, use a gentle cycle with cold water and a technical outdoor detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Always check the specific care label inside your jacket.
The Karrimor Urban Jacket is a protective shell. While it offers excellent waterproof and windproof properties, it does not provide significant insulation for extreme cold. For winter conditions, it should be paired with appropriate insulating layers underneath.
The product description specifies `four zipped pockets` which are typically external. Internal pocket details are not provided.
The jacket's shell is made from `100% Nylon`, and the lining is `100% Polyester`.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and if the problem persists, treat it with a DWR re-proofing product.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can block the breathable membrane. Also, check your layering; wearing too many non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. You can also apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) to help them slide smoothly.
While the description doesn't mention specific drawstrings for the hood, ensure it's fully deployed and positioned correctly. The fold-away design is intended for convenience rather than extreme secure fit in high winds. You may need to wear a hat underneath for added security.
This jacket is a shell designed for weather protection, not insulation. For warmth in colder conditions, wear appropriate insulating layers (e.g., fleece, down jacket) underneath.
Your Karrimor Urban Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties over time.
