Product Information
Full details
The DLX Lorimer Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women who need a reliable, versatile outer layer for hiking, outdoor trekking, or casual daily wear. Its primary strength lies in its 10000mm waterproof rating and windproof construction, providing robust protection against harsh elements while remaining comfortable for active use. While highly effective at keeping you dry in light rain and blocking cold winds, prospective buyers should note that as a softshell, it is tailored for breathability and mobility rather than extreme arctic-level insulation.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a 10000mm waterproof rating, making it highly effective against wind and light to moderate rain, though it is not classified as a fully seam-sealed heavy-duty rain jacket.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed with a zip-off mechanism, allowing you to remove it for a sleeker profile or to suit changing weather conditions.
How should I layer underneath the Lorimer?
The jacket is cut for mobility. Use a moisture-wicking base layer for high-output activity, or add a light fleece or mid-layer underneath if you need extra warmth in colder temperatures.
Does this jacket have pockets for my hands?
The design focuses on technical security with a specific water-repellent chest pocket. Refer to the specific garment style for additional side pocket availability.
How do I maintain the waterproof rating?
Regularly clean the jacket with technical gear soap and avoid softeners. Tumble drying on low heat helps maintain the performance of the fabric's protective coatings.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check the zipper track for debris, dirt, or fabric snags. Clean the teeth with a soft brush and apply a dedicated zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your jacket, ensure the hood is properly zipped into the collar track before use to avoid misalignment. For cleaning, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a technical detergent specifically formulated for waterproof garments; standard laundry detergents can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. We recommend tumble drying on a low heat setting periodically, as this can help reactivate the water-repellent treatment on the outer shell fabric. Always close all zippers before washing to prevent damage to the track.
