Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Blue

The Karrimor Urban Jacket is a waterproof and breathable shell, primarily designed for weather protection rather than insulation. While it offers excellent rain and wind resistance, for cold winter conditions, it should be paired with appropriate warm layers underneath.

Always follow the specific care instructions provided on the jacket's internal care label. Generally, waterproof jackets require gentle washing to maintain their integrity and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.

With 10k breathability, it can handle moderate activity like brisk walking or light hiking. For very high-intensity sports where significant sweat is produced, you might prefer a jacket with even higher breathability ratings to manage moisture more effectively.

'10k Waterproof' means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over a day before water penetrates. '10k Breathable' means 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, helping to keep you comfortable and dry from the inside out.

The hood is designed to be foldaway, meaning it can be neatly stored in the collar when not needed, offering convenience and adaptability. It is not designed to be fully detachable from the jacket.

Info needed: The product description does not specify the number or type of pockets. Please refer to the product listing images or consult the retailer for details on pocket configuration.

The shell of the Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% Nylon, providing durability and water resistance. The lining is 100% Polyester, contributing to comfort and breathability.

This can happen due to high humidity or insufficient layering, which overwhelms the jacket's breathability. Ensure your base layers are wicking away moisture from your skin and adjust ventilation by unzipping the jacket slightly or loosening the adjustable cuffs. The 10k breathability helps, but sweat can still build up if not managed.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be soiled or worn off. Washing the jacket according to the care label instructions can often revitalize the DWR. If not, consider applying a DWR re-treatment product specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.

Ensure the hood is fully deployed from its foldaway position. If present, adjust any internal drawstrings or toggles for a snug fit around your face and head to prevent it from slipping or letting water in. The adjustable cuffs can also help prevent water ingress at the wrists, complementing hood protection.
