Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Sierra WeatherTite Waterproof Jacket in Grey (XXL) is designed for adult males seeking reliable weather protection during outdoor activities like country walks. Its key benefit is providing excellent waterproofness and breathability to keep users dry and comfortable, even in challenging conditions.

FAQs

What does the 10,000 mm waterproof rating mean?

A 10,000 mm rating indicates the jacket can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water in a vertical test, meaning it's suitable for moderate to heavy rain conditions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.

How do I reactivate the water repellency?

After washing, you can often reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment by tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting for about 20 minutes. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a hooded funnel neck for protection. While not explicitly stated as adjustable in all descriptions, the design aims to provide a snug fit against the elements.

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at a cool temperature (e.g., 30°C) on a gentle cycle using liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Ensure it is fully dried, preferably by tumble drying on low heat.

Can I use this jacket for strenuous activities like running?

While the jacket has a breathable mesh lining, it's best suited for activities like hiking and walking where its waterproof and windproof capabilities are most beneficial. For high-intensity running, specialized running jackets might offer superior ventilation.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking during heavy rain.

Check if the DWR treatment has worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-proofer. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

Inner lining feels damp or clammy.

This may indicate the breathability is overwhelmed by high internal moisture (sweat). Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Wash the jacket to remove any residue that might impede breathability.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Jacket smells musty.

Wash the jacket following the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before storing. Storing in a damp environment can lead to mustiness.

  • Hood and elastic cuffs offer comprehensive weather sealing.
  • Lightweight and packable for convenience.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use to maximize weather protection.

Compatibility: The Karrimor Sierra WeatherTite Waterproof Jacket is designed as outerwear and can be worn over various layers of clothing. Its primary function is weather protection, making it compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities.

Care Instructions: Always follow the care label inside the garment for specific washing instructions. Generally, for 100% Polyester items with waterproof coatings:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (e.g., 30°C) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powders, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR treatment.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. To reactivate the DWR treatment, a tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing is often recommended (check care label).
  5. Reproofing: If the water repellency diminishes, consider using a specialized waterproof re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.
