Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Professional Ablaze Softshell Jacket is designed for active adults who need a versatile, weather-resistant outer layer for transitional autumn and winter weather. Its primary benefit is the combination of a waterproof, three-layer softshell construction with a warm-backed fleece lining that allows for natural movement and excellent breathability. While it excels in comfort and mobility during outdoor activities, users should note that as a softshell, it is best suited for light to moderate precipitation rather than extreme, prolonged downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
It is waterproof against light to moderate rain due to its 3-layer construction, but it is not a fully seam-sealed heavy-duty raincoat.
Can I wear this in deep winter?
Yes, the fleece backing provides warmth, but in sub-zero temperatures, it is recommended to layer it with a thermal base or mid-layer.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the jacket is constructed with woven stretch fabric designed to move with your body.
How do I add a company logo?
The jacket is specifically designed as 'printable' or 'embroiderable,' meaning it has a smooth surface suitable for professional custom branding.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but use a mild, non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners to protect the fabric's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off. Re-apply a specialist DWR spray specifically for softshell garments after cleaning.
Jacket feels less breathable than before
Dirt or detergent residue may be clogging the membrane. Wash the jacket again without detergent, using a specialized technical cleaner to clear the pores.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its water-repellent properties, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent to avoid stripping the fabric finish. Do not use fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the breathability of the softshell membrane. For drying, hang the jacket to air dry rather than using a high-heat tumble setting, which can damage the synthetic fibers. If you intend to have the jacket branded, ensure the printer uses materials compatible with softshell garments to prevent peeling or degradation of the outer layer.
