Product Information

Full details

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.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

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.

What is the primary material?

The jacket is constructed from a durable polyester-based softshell fabric designed for stretch and weather resistance.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

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.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The jacket features two external zip-fastening pockets; it does not include internal storage pockets.

How should I choose the right size?

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.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading up.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Reapply a technical DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.

Zipper feels stiff or catches.

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance for chilly days
  • Highly flexible material allows unrestricted movement
  • DWR coating effectively handles light precipitation
  • Adjustable features offer a customizable fit
  • Minimalist aesthetic suitable for both trail and city use

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof in heavy, sustained rain
  • Limited to two pockets for storage
  • Softshell material may show wear if used against abrasive rock surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
