The Karrimor Orbit Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for adult men seeking a versatile, weather-resistant outer layer for outdoor recreation or everyday urban travel. Its primary benefit is the combination of wind and water-resistant fabric with a high-stretch construction, allowing for complete mobility during active pursuits. While it provides excellent protection against light elements and wind, users should note that as a softshell, it is not fully waterproof and is best utilized as part of a layering system in extreme downpours.

It is water-resistant, meaning it will protect you from light rain and wind, but it is not seam-sealed or waterproof in heavy downpours.
It is excellent for active use, but because it is thin, it should be used as part of a layering system with a fleece or thermal base layer in colder conditions.
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable hood to provide a secure fit during windy conditions.
Use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat, as these can damage the technical properties of the softshell.
The two zip-secured pockets are designed to fit standard essentials, including most modern smartphones.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a DWR spray treatment.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. You can lightly apply a dry silicone lubricant if it remains difficult to zip.
To ensure the longevity of your Karrimor Orbit jacket, proper care is essential. The DWR coating will naturally degrade over time with frequent washing and exposure to dirt. To clean the garment, use a mild liquid detergent on a cold, gentle machine cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical properties of the fabric. Always zip the pockets closed before washing to prevent snagging. To maintain the water-repellency, tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry; if the water stops beading on the surface after a few months, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore performance.
