The Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket is an essential item for anyone seeking adaptable protection from varying weather conditions, whether you're hiking, commuting, or enjoying a weekend trip. Its key benefit lies in its versatile 3-in-1 design, offering a waterproof outer shell and a removable fleece inner jacket that can be worn together or separately. However, while highly functional, users should note its primary design is for general outdoor and wet weather use rather than extreme expedition conditions.
3-in-1 Design: Combines a waterproof outer shell with a removable fleece inner jacket for versatile layering and protection.
Weathertite Technology: Provides 10,000mm waterproofing and 10,000mm breathability, keeping you dry from rain while allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Fully Taped Seams: Enhances the waterproof barrier by preventing water penetration through stitched areas.
Mesh Lining: Inside the outer shell, it improves breathability and prevents the outer fabric from sticking to your skin.
Concealable Hood: A hood that can be stored away when not needed, offering protection from rain when deployed.
Adjustable Fit: Features elastic drawstrings at the waist and hood for a customizable fit, helping to retain warmth and block wind.
Storm Flap Protection: A full front zip covered by a hook and loop storm flap adds an extra layer of defense against wind and rain.
Highly versatile with 3-in-1 layering options for various temperatures and conditions.
Excellent waterproof (10K) and breathable (10K) performance with Weathertite Technology.
Customizable fit with adjustable hood and waist for enhanced comfort and protection.
Integrated mesh lining in the shell promotes breathability and reduces clamminess.

The Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket excels in providing adaptable protection across various environments and weather patterns. Its core strength lies in its modular design.
For daily commutes in unpredictable weather, wear the outer shell alone. Its Weathertite membrane and taped seams will keep you dry through rain showers, while the mesh lining prevents overheating and maintains comfort. The adjustable hood can be deployed quickly if the rain intensifies, and the storm flap ensures no water seeps through the front zipper.
When heading out for a hike on a cool, crisp autumn day, combine both the outer shell and the fleece inner jacket. This combination provides excellent warmth and protection against wind and light rain. The breathability of the Weathertite material is crucial here, managing moisture build-up as you exert yourself. Adjust the waist and hood drawstrings to seal out drafts as needed.
On a dry, chilly day, the removable fleece inner jacket can be worn by itself. It offers comfortable warmth for casual outings or as a mid-layer under a different jacket. This flexibility makes the Karrimor 3 in 1 a cost-effective choice, providing three garments in one.
The jacket performs admirably in windy conditions, with the adjustable features allowing you to cinch down the hood and hem to prevent drafts. The full front zip with its storm flap provides a robust barrier against gusts and light precipitation, making it reliable for coastal walks or open terrain.
Your Karrimor 3 in 1 Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the package. The fleece inner jacket attaches to the outer shell typically via zippers and/or loops at the collar and cuffs. Ensure these connections are secure when you want to wear both layers together. To wear separately, simply detach the fleece from the shell.
This jacket is designed to be a versatile layering piece. The outer shell can be worn over base layers and mid-layers for colder conditions. The fleece inner jacket is ideal as a standalone outer layer in cool, dry weather or as a mid-layer under another waterproof shell.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your jacket, follow these care guidelines:
Washing: Both the shell and fleece are machine washable. Always refer to the specific care label instructions inside the garment.
Temperature: Wash at a low temperature, typically 30°C (86°F), using a gentle cycle.
Detergent: Use a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh powder detergents, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
Drying: Air dry the jacket flat or hang it to dry. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, which can damage the fabric and taped seams. If using a tumble dryer, use a very low heat setting.
Ironing: Do not iron.
Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Safety: Keep the jacket away from fire due to material flammability.
