Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket - Pink - UK 10

The '3-in-1' design means the jacket consists of two separate layers: a waterproof outer shell and a removable fleece inner jacket. You can wear the outer shell on its own, the fleece on its own, or zip them together to create a single, warm, and waterproof jacket.

The jacket features a 10,000mm waterproof and breathable membrane. This rating indicates excellent resistance to water pressure, meaning it will keep you dry in heavy rain and snow while still allowing internal moisture (perspiration) to escape.

Yes, both the outer jacket (Nylon) and the inner fleece (Polyester) are machine washable. Always check the care label inside your jacket for specific washing instructions, typically recommending a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and no fabric softener.

Info needed: The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable or removable. It is generally assumed that Karrimor jackets in this style feature a fixed hood, though adjustability (e.g., drawcords) may be present but not detailed.

This jacket is highly versatile and suitable for a range of activities including hiking, trekking, general outdoor adventures, commuting, and travel. Its adaptability makes it ideal for unpredictable weather conditions or situations where you need to regulate your warmth.

To re-attach the fleece, align the main zippers of both jackets and zip them together. There are typically small loops or snaps near the collar and cuffs that secure the fleece to the outer shell, preventing it from shifting during wear.

This often means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR restoring spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Ensure you have the correct size jacket, as an ill-fitting fleece can cause bulkiness. Also, double-check that the fleece is properly aligned and zipped into the outer shell, with all attachment points secured. If you frequently feel too bulky, consider wearing thinner base layers under the fleece or using just the outer shell with a different mid-layer.

Ensure all vents (if present) are open. Check if the DWR coating needs refreshing, as a 'wetting out' outer fabric can hinder breathability. Also, consider the type of layers you are wearing underneath; cotton, for example, can absorb moisture and reduce overall breathability. Use moisture-wicking base layers.

Gently pull the fabric near the zipper taught to release any snagged material. If the zipper teeth are stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth to help it move smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
