Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Orbit Softshell Jacket is designed for adult men who need a versatile, reliable outer layer for both outdoor trails and urban environments. Its primary benefit is a combination of wind and water resistance paired with flexible, stretch-oriented fabric that allows for full range of motion. While it provides excellent protection against light to moderate elements, users should note that as a softshell garment, it is not designed to replace a fully waterproof hardshell jacket in heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant thanks to a DWR treatment, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent, ideally designed for technical outdoor gear.

Does it have an internal chest pocket?

No, this specific model features a two-pocket design located on the exterior with zip fastening.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design for better weather protection and wind sealing.

What material is it made of?

The Karrimor Orbit Softshell is primarily constructed from polyester, chosen for its durability and wind-resistant characteristics.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The jacket follows standard sizing conventions; however, as a softshell, it is cut to allow for some layering underneath.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off; re-apply a technical DWR spray and tumble dry on low to reactivate the coating.

Zippers feel stiff or stick when closing.

Check the zipper track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth; gently clean with a soft brush and ensure the internal flap is clear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance for chilly conditions
  • Stretch fabric allows for high mobility
  • Functional DWR treatment for light moisture protection

  • Versatile design suitable for both trail and city wear

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof for heavy storm conditions
  • Limited to a two-pocket storage configuration
  • Only available in a black colourway

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is a straightforward pull-on garment. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR treatment, it is recommended to wash the jacket using specialized outdoor gear detergent rather than standard fabric softeners, which can clog the breathable fibers. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging. To preserve the water-repellent properties, periodically re-apply a DWR spray treatment after washing, especially if you notice water no longer beads on the fabric surface. For sizing, the XXL model offers a generous fit, but it is recommended to check your measurements against the brand's sizing chart to ensure optimal layering capability.
