The Karrimor Orbit is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain, but it is not seam-sealed or intended for sustained heavy rainfall.
It serves as an excellent outer layer for mild winter days or as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in freezing temperatures.
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
The hood is fixed but features adjustable elements to ensure a snug fit.
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, which is a chemical coating added to the fabric to allow water to bead up and roll off the surface.
Yes, the jacket is constructed with stretch fabric specifically designed to provide mobility without feeling restricted.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat to reactivate the treatment, or apply a spray-on DWR replenishment product.
Check for fabric caught in the teeth and ensure the zipper path is clean of debris. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of dry lubricant specifically for zippers.
Because this is a softshell garment, proper care is essential to maintain its weather-resistant performance. To clean the jacket, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner designed for outdoor apparel—avoid using standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR coating. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard size, as the stretch material is designed to move with your body.
