Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Orbit Softshell Jacket is designed for adult men who need a versatile, reliable outer layer for hiking trails or daily urban commutes. It excels at providing weather protection and freedom of movement thanks to its DWR-treated, stretchable fabric, though users should note it is primarily intended for light to moderate weather conditions rather than extreme alpine storms.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, meaning it will protect you from light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof hardshell jacket for heavy storms.

What is the fit like?

The Karrimor Orbit is designed as a standard athletic fit with added stretch to allow for movement.

Can I wear this in winter?

It works well as an outer layer in mild winter conditions or as a mid-layer underneath a heavier insulated coat during deep winter.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the water-resistant coating.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the two zip-fastening pockets are designed to securely accommodate most standard-sized smartphones and small trail essentials.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

The zip feels stiff or catches.

Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If clear, gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and light rain resistance
  • High-stretch fabric ensures comfort during movement
  • Adjustable features offer a customizable fit
  • Versatile design suitable for both trails and city wear

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained downpours
  • Limited to two pockets for storage
  • Requires periodic re-treatment of DWR coating for best performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this is a softshell garment, minimal setup is required beyond adjusting the hood toggles to fit your head or helmet. To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure you wash it according to the garment care label, ideally using a technical fabric cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent, which can strip the DWR treatment. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric, you should apply a DWR wash-in or spray-on restorer to maintain its water-repellent qualities.
