Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting Up Your 3-in-1 Jacket
- Attaching the Fleece: The inner fleece jacket attaches to the outer shell typically via zippers along the front openings and snap loops or toggles at the collar and cuffs. Align the zippers and carefully zip them together. Secure any additional fastening points.
- Detaching the Fleece: Unzip the front zippers connecting the fleece to the shell. Undo any snap loops or toggles at the collar and cuffs to fully separate the two garments.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for adult women and is compatible with a wide range of outdoor and casual activities where protection from rain and cold is needed. The XXL sizing accommodates a generous fit, suitable for layering.
Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the performance and longevity of your Karrimor jacket.
- Machine Washable: Both the outer jacket (100% Nylon) and the fleece (100% Polyester) are machine washable.
- Temperature: Always check the care label on each garment, but typically wash on a cool or warm cycle (30-40°C).
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh detergents as these can degrade the waterproof membrane and fleece fibers.
- Washing Process: Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Wash similar colors together.
- Drying: Hang to dry or tumble dry on a low setting if the care label allows. Avoid high heat, which can damage the waterproof coating. Ensure both layers are completely dry before storing.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer shell may wear off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear if you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface.
