Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket - Blue - UK 10

The '10,000mm' rating refers to the hydrostatic head, which measures how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before water penetrates. A 10,000mm rating means a column of water 10,000mm high can be placed on the fabric before it leaks, indicating excellent waterproofing for moderate to heavy rain.

Yes, the inner fleece jacket is designed to be fully detachable and can be worn on its own as a warm, lightweight outer layer in dry conditions.

Wash the outer jacket and fleece separately on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Use a technical wash for waterproof clothing or a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Air dry both components; do not tumble dry the outer jacket.

The outer nylon shell is inherently wind resistant and, combined with its waterproof membrane, offers excellent protection against wind. The inner fleece provides warmth but is not specifically designed to be windproof when worn alone.

This jacket is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, trekking, camping, travel, and general daily wear where protection against variable weather is required.

After washing and drying the outer jacket, you can apply a DWR re-proofing spray or a wash-in product. Follow the specific instructions on the re-proofing product for best results. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need re-application. Clean the jacket thoroughly following care instructions, then apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof garments.

Ensure you are using appropriate layering underneath. The jacket's breathability works best when moisture can easily wick away from your skin. Also, check that all vents (if present) are open for maximum airflow. Avoid cotton base layers during active use.

Check that the zippers are correctly aligned from the very bottom. Ensure there are no fabric obstructions or twists in the fleece or outer jacket. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a specialized zipper lubricant can also help.
