The Karrimor Orbit Softshell Jacket is an ideal choice for active adults who need a versatile, reliable outer layer for hiking, trekking, or daily commutes in changing weather. It provides a key benefit of combining wind and water resistance with a high degree of stretch fabric, allowing for unrestricted movement during outdoor activities. One caveat to keep in mind is that while it is treated with a DWR coating for light precipitation, it is a softshell garment and not a fully waterproof hard-shell, meaning it may soak through during prolonged heavy rain.

No, it is wind and water-resistant. It will handle light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rain.
Yes, it works well as a wind-blocking layer, though you will likely need to add a warm insulating mid-layer underneath for freezing temperatures.
Machine wash on a cool cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, and tumble dry on low to help reactivate the DWR coating.
This model features two external hip-level pockets with zip fastening.
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to maximize protection against wind and rain.
Yes, the jacket is constructed with stretch fabric designed to offer a full range of motion for active use.
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment followed by low heat to reactivate.
Check for debris or grit in the zipper tracks. Clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite if necessary.
For optimal fit, the Karrimor Orbit Softshell fits true to size, allowing room for a lightweight fleece or base layer underneath. To care for your jacket, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating. It is highly recommended to tumble dry on a low setting occasionally, as the heat helps reactivate the water-repellent properties of the fabric. If the jacket starts to absorb water rather than bead it off, consider applying a dedicated spray-on DWR replenishment product to maintain weather resistance.
