The Karrimor Orbit Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and urban commuters seeking a lightweight, versatile outer layer that balances weather protection with flexibility. Its DWR-treated fabric provides reliable resistance against wind and light rain, making it suitable for active movement; however, it is designed as a softshell layer rather than a heavy-duty waterproof hardshell, so it may require additional layering in extreme downpours.

It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR treatment, meaning it will repel light rain and snow, but it is not intended for extended exposure to heavy rain.
The jacket is constructed from a durable polyester-based softshell fabric designed for stretch and weather resistance.
Yes, but as it is a softshell, it is best worn as part of a layering system. Pair it with a thermal base layer or a fleece for added warmth in lower temperatures.
The jacket features two external zip-fastening pockets; it does not include internal storage pockets.
The jacket follows standard sizing. Use the provided size guides, keeping in mind that this is a performance fit designed to be worn over standard base layers.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Reapply a technical DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If the zipper is clean, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a graphite pencil along the teeth to smooth the movement.
This jacket is designed for immediate use. To maintain the DWR performance, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a mild technical detergent specifically formulated for outdoor gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. After several washes, the DWR treatment may need to be refreshed using a spray-on or wash-in water repellent product to keep the fabric shedding water efficiently. Always check the internal garment care label for the most specific instructions regarding temperature and drying.
