Product Information

Full details

The DLX Lorimer Softshell Jacket is designed for active adults who need a reliable, versatile layer for hiking and outdoor exploration. Its primary strength lies in its 10,000mm waterproof rating and windproof construction, providing robust protection against the elements while maintaining comfort. A notable caveat is that while highly weather-resistant, softshell materials generally offer less thermal insulation than heavy-duty down parkas, making it best suited for active layering rather than stationary extreme cold.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a cool, gentle cycle.

Can I wear this in deep winter?

It is best used as an outer layer. In deep winter, you should wear thermal base layers and a mid-layer underneath.

Does the jacket offer any insulation?

As a softshell, it focuses primarily on windproofing and water resistance rather than heavy thermal insulation.

What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?

This refers to the hydrostatic head test, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before moisture seeps through.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is removable, providing versatility; check for integrated adjustment toggles to tighten the fit around your face.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

The zip-off hood feels loose or detached.

Ensure all segments of the hood zipper are fully aligned and engaged at the neckline before pulling the slider.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind and water resistance for varied conditions
  • Versatile zip-off hood allows for quick style and function adjustments
  • Secure chest pocket keeps small items organized
  • Lightweight construction facilitates easy layering
  • Modern, functional design suitable for both trails and casual urban settings

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme sub-zero temperatures without layering
  • Hood fit may require adjustment for high-wind stability
  • Limited to a specific grey colorway
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain water-repellent finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always zip up the front closure and the hood attachment before laundering. Wash the jacket on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the technical water-repellent coating. Hang the jacket to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators. If you notice water no longer 'beads' on the surface, consider using a technical fabric re-waterproofing spray to restore performance.
