This jacket excels in providing essential weather protection for daily commutes and casual outdoor activities. The WeatherTite Technology ensures you stay dry during moderate to heavy rain, making it ideal for navigating city streets or walking trails. Its 10k breathability prevents overheating, even when moving actively, by allowing sweat vapor to escape, avoiding the common 'boil-in-the-bag' effect of less breathable rain jackets.
The foldaway hood is a practical feature for unpredictable weather; you can start your day without a bulky hood, then quickly deploy it if rain begins. This adaptability makes it suitable for varied conditions without needing to carry extra gear.
For example, during a sudden downpour on an urban commute, simply unroll the hood. On a windy day, adjust the hook-and-loop cuffs to seal out drafts. The mesh lining is particularly beneficial when layered over everyday clothing, promoting airflow and preventing the interior from feeling sticky or damp. It's a reliable choice for anyone needing a versatile, protective outer layer for everyday use.
The Karrimor Urban Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply put it on as you would any other jacket. Familiarize yourself with the adjustable sleeve cuffs to achieve your preferred fit and ensure the foldaway hood is properly deployed or stowed based on weather conditions.
This jacket is designed for adult males and is suitable for a wide range of body types. Its versatile design makes it compatible with various layering systems, from light t-shirts to mid-weight fleeces, depending on temperature. It's an excellent choice for urban environments, light hiking, dog walking, and general outdoor protection.
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the waterproofing and breathability of your jacket. Always refer to the care label located inside the garment for specific washing instructions. Generally, waterproof jackets benefit from:
Machine washing: Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
Detergent: Use a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh powdered detergents, as these can clog the fabric's pores and impair waterproofing/breathability.
Drying: Air dry the jacket, or tumble dry on a low heat setting if the care label permits. Overheating can damage the waterproof membrane.
Avoid Dry Cleaning: Dry cleaning chemicals can harm the fabric's integrity.
