FAQs
Is the hood fully removable?
Yes, the hood is a zip-off design that can be completely detached when you prefer a collar-only silhouette.
Can I wear this in heavy snow?
The 10000mm rating is sufficient for light to moderate snow, but it is primarily designed as a technical softshell rather than a heavy insulated parka.
How do I adjust the cuffs?
The cuffs feature integrated adjustment tabs that allow you to tighten them around your wrists to seal out drafts.
What is the best way to clean the chest pocket?
Ensure the pocket is empty, close the zip, and gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if needed; do not submerge in abrasive cleaning chemicals.
Does this jacket have insulation?
The Lorimer is a softshell jacket, which provides a layer of wind and water protection but relies on your own mid-layer choices for thermal insulation.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a technical DWR spray, then heat-activate according to the spray's instructions.
Feeling damp inside during high activity
Ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool; cotton base layers absorb sweat and reduce the effectiveness of the jacket's breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The jacket is true to size (M), but test the fit with your intended mid-layers to ensure full range of motion.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner; avoid harsh detergents that may damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the fabric integrity.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the jacket.
