Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Sierra WeatherTite Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from rain and wind during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable comfort in challenging weather conditions. A potential caveat is that while effective, it is a lightweight jacket suited for moderate conditions rather than extreme cold. This jacket offers WeatherTite technology with a 10,000 mm waterproof rating and a breathable mesh lining, a hooded funnel neck, elasticated cuffs, and two zipped pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What does 'WeatherTite' mean?

WeatherTite is Karrimor's proprietary technology that signifies the garment's waterproof and windproof capabilities, designed to protect you from the elements.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating mid-layers. It does not provide significant thermal insulation on its own.

How do I maintain the waterproof features?

Regular washing with a suitable cleaner and reapplying a DWR treatment after washing will help maintain the waterproof performance. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

What is the waterproof rating (mm)?

The jacket features a 10,000 mm waterproof rating, indicating a good level of protection against rain.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped, offering protection against splashes and light rain. However, they are not designed to be fully submerged in water.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the fabric.

Ensure the DWR treatment is still active. If not, clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment. Check seams for any damage.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can occur if the garment is not zipped up fully or if the conditions are very humid. Ensure all vents are open (if applicable) and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zip area with a damp cloth and allow to dry. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) can help ease movement. Avoid forcing the zip.

Cons

Care Instructions:

  • Always follow the care label instructions for washing and drying.

  • Do not use fabric softeners, as they can affect the waterproof and breathable properties.
