Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket - Orange - UK 12

The '10k Waterproof' rating (10,000mm) means the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water pressure over a 24-hour period before water starts to penetrate. The '10k Breathable' rating (10,000g/m²/24hr) indicates that 10,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of fabric in 24 hours, allowing perspiration to escape.

The Karrimor Urban Jacket is a waterproof shell and does not provide inherent insulation. For cold weather, it should be worn over appropriate insulating layers, such as a fleece or thermal base layer.

The hood is designed to be rolled or folded neatly into the collar of the jacket. Locate the toggles or Velcro straps within the collar to secure it once folded. Info needed: [Specific instructions for folding the hood if available from product manual].

Yes, but always follow the care label instructions. Generally, use a gentle cycle with cool water and a specialist technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using regular detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating.

The shell of the jacket is 100% Nylon, providing durable water resistance. The lining is 100% Polyester mesh, which aids in breathability and comfort.

Info needed: [Details on pocket configuration (e.g., hand pockets, chest pockets, internal pockets) if available in product specifications. Assume standard hand pockets otherwise for a generic answer if info cannot be found].

The sleeve cuffs feature a hook-and-loop (Velcro) adjustable strap. Simply loosen or tighten the strap to achieve a secure and comfortable fit around your wrists, which helps to keep out wind and rain.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be worn. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment.

Ensure you are using appropriate layering. Over-insulating can cause condensation. Open any available vents, check cuff adjustments for airflow, and make sure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.

Adjust the drawstrings or toggle points on the hood. Most foldaway hoods have internal adjustments to cinch it around your face or head for a more secure fit in windy conditions.
