The Karrimor 3 in 1 Waterproof Jacket excels in offering adaptable weather protection across various scenarios. For instance, during a blustery mountain hike with intermittent rain, wearing both the waterproof shell and the warm fleece provides optimal defense against cold and wet conditions, with the adjustable hood and waist sealing out drafts. On a milder, rainy spring day, the outer shell can be worn alone as a lightweight, breathable rain jacket, thanks to its 10K waterproof and 10K breathable ratings and mesh lining preventing overheating. Alternatively, the fleece inner jacket serves as a comfortable, insulating layer for dry, chilly mornings or evenings. The fully taped seams ensure that even persistent rain won't penetrate, making it a reliable choice for extended exposure to wet weather. Its design caters to everything from demanding outdoor adventures to casual urban wear during inclement weather, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable without feeling clammy.
**Setup and Wearing:
Combined Protection:** For maximum warmth and waterproofing, zip the fleece inner jacket into the outer shell. Secure any internal fastening points (Info needed: specific attachment mechanism if not just zipping). Ensure the full front zip is closed and the hook and loop storm flap is pressed down firmly. 2. Shell Only: Unzip and detach the fleece inner. The outer shell then functions as a standalone waterproof and breathable layer for milder, wet conditions. 3. Fleece Only: The fleece inner jacket can be worn independently for warmth in cool, dry environments. 4. Hood Adjustment: Use the elastic drawstrings on the hood to customize the fit around your face. To conceal the hood, fold it neatly and tuck it into its designated pocket within the collar. 5. Waist Adjustment: Adjust the elastic drawstring at the waist to create a snug fit, which helps to trap warmth and block wind entry.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult males (based on product attributes) and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, and everyday use in changeable and wet weather conditions. Its 3-in-1 design makes it compatible with varying temperatures and precipitation levels.
**Care Instructions:
Washing:** The jacket is machine washable. It is crucial to always follow the specific care label instructions provided with the garment. Typically, this involves washing with a technical outerwear cleaner, on a cool or gentle cycle, and avoiding fabric softeners or harsh detergents that can degrade waterproof coatings. 2. Drying: Air dry the jacket whenever possible. Avoid tumble drying on high heat, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. 3. Safety: Always keep the jacket away from fire. Avoid direct ironing on any printed areas or logos to prevent damage.
