Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Orbit Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for active adults who need a versatile, protective layer for hiking or daily urban commuting. It provides a key benefit of wind and water resistance combined with high-stretch fabric for maximum range of motion, though its moderate weather protection makes it less suitable for sustained heavy downpours compared to a full hardshell rain jacket.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, it is wind and water-resistant. It will handle light showers but is not designed for heavy, sustained rain.

Can I wear this in the winter?

It is not an insulated jacket. It works well as a wind-blocking shell over a fleece or base layer for winter activities.

How should I clean the jacket?

Use a gentle cycle with a tech-specific detergent and skip the fabric softener.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

Yes, the hood is adjustable to ensure a secure fit against the wind.

What is the best way to maintain the water resistance?

Regularly cleaning the jacket removes dirt and oils that can clog the pores and ruin the DWR performance.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Clean any debris or grit from the zipper track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a candle wax rub.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Karrimor Orbit Softshell stays in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use the lowest heat setting to avoid damaging the stretch fibers.
  3. Re-treating: If water stops beading on the surface after extensive use, consider applying a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment while the garment is clean.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation over time.
