FAQs

What does the 10,000mm waterproof rating mean?

A 10,000mm rating indicates the jacket can withstand water pressure equivalent to a 10-meter column of water before leaking. This makes it suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

How do I clean the jacket to preserve its waterproof properties?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

Yes, it's designed as a shell layer. You can add insulating layers like fleece or down underneath to adapt to colder temperatures.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is adjustable, along with the hem, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and rain.

What material is the jacket made from?

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

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric, typically after significant wear or multiple washes. Using a technical wash can also help maintain performance.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams prevent water from seeping through the needle holes created during stitching, providing an essential barrier against rain and improving the overall waterproof integrity of the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.

This is likely due to internal condensation. Ensure the jacket's vents (if present) are open and that the breathability of the WeatherTite membrane is not compromised by dirt or residue. Washing with a technical cleaner may help restore breathability.

Water is soaking through the fabric, not beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the hood and hem drawcords are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before use.

Compatibility:

The Karrimor Hot Rock WeatherTite Waterproof Jacket is designed as an outer shell. It can be layered over various base layers and mid-layers (e.g., t-shirts, thermal tops, fleeces) depending on the ambient temperature and activity level.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity of the WeatherTite technology and the waterproof coating, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C.
  2. Detergent: Use a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological powders, as these can clog the membrane pores and degrade the waterproofing.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  5. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance after prolonged use, consider using a technical wash and re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor apparel.
