Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Alpiniste Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for male outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and mountain walkers who require a reliable balance of weather protection and freedom of movement. Featuring advanced MXShield technology and a 5000 mm waterproof rating, this jacket provides an effective barrier against wind and rain while remaining flexible for high-intensity movement; however, it is designed primarily as a weather-resistant layer rather than a substitute for heavy-duty, fully waterproof shells in extreme conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

It features a 5000 mm waterproof rating and DWR coating for light to moderate rain, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof shell for extreme storms.

What material is the Alpiniste jacket made from?

It is constructed from high-performance, flexible polyester fabric designed for mobility.

Can I adjust the hood?

Yes, the hood is designed with a stiffened peak to maintain shape and provide coverage in harsh elements.

How many pockets does it have?

The jacket includes four pockets, all equipped with zip closures for secure storage.

Does it block wind?

Yes, the integrated MXShield technology is specifically engineered to provide windproof protection.

Is this suitable for summer or winter?

It is versatile enough for cool spring, summer, or autumn days; in winter, it works well as part of a layering system.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off

The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR waterproofing spray.

Zippers feel stiff or stick

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove grit and apply a light silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent windproofing properties for alpine conditions
  • High-stretch polyester material provides great mobility
  • DWR coating offers reliable defense against light precipitation
  • Four-pocket design allows for convenient gear organization

Cons

  • Not a fully seam-sealed waterproof rain jacket
  • Limited to adult male sizing
  • Polyester fabric may require specific laundering care

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these guidelines:

  • Fit: The S (Small) size is designed for a performance fit. Ensure your base and mid-layers are not too bulky to allow the jacket to stretch correctly.
  • Washing: Use a mild, technical garment detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on low heat may be used only if the care label specifically permits it to reactivate DWR treatments.
  • Maintenance: Periodically treat the outer fabric with a DWR re-proofing spray if you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
