Product Information

Full details

The Karrimor Base Camp Windproof DWR Long Sleeve Softshell Jacket is designed for adult men who require a reliable, versatile outer layer for outdoor activities. Its core strength lies in its combination of windproof technology and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which shields against unpredictable weather while maintaining essential breathability. While it provides excellent protection for trekking and active pursuits, users should note that as a softshell, it is designed for wind and light moisture resistance rather than serving as a fully waterproof shell in heavy storm conditions.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant thanks to its DWR finish, but it is not fully waterproof. It will protect you in light showers but is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How should I wash this garment?

Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and ensure all zippers are closed.

Can I wear this in winter?

It serves as an excellent outer layer in mild winter conditions, but you may need to layer a fleece or thermal top underneath for extra warmth.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the chest and hand pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and other hiking essentials.

What material is it made of?

The jacket is constructed from durable nylon, chosen for its resistance to abrasion and ability to withstand outdoor wear.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric.

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a re-proofing spray designed for softshell fabrics.

Stiff or sticking zippers.

Check for fabric caught in the teeth or debris accumulation. Clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective wind protection for windy ridge walks
  • DWR finish handles light showers and mist well
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during exertion
  • Ample zippered storage for gear security
  • Durable nylon construction built for outdoor wear

Cons

  • Not intended as a fully waterproof replacement for a hardshell
  • DWR finish may require re-application over time
  • Softshell fabric is less insulating than heavy winter down jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed as a standalone outer layer for mild to moderate conditions. Due to its tailored fit, it works best over a moisture-wicking base layer or a thin mid-layer fleece.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always zip up all zippers before putting the jacket into the washing machine.
  2. Wash on a gentle cycle at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius.
  3. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating of its effectiveness.
  4. Air dry the jacket in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric fibers.
