Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Professional Mens Soft Shell Jacket in Polka Dot (XXL) is designed for adult males seeking versatile outerwear for moderate weather conditions. Its primary benefit is providing wind resistance and water repellency with a breathable construction. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, limiting its use in heavy downpours. Key features include a durable polyester softshell, a DWR finish, a high-neck zip, and practical lower pockets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, making it resistant to light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

How do I clean the Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not bleach or iron.

What does 'wind resistant' mean for this jacket?

Wind resistant means the fabric is designed to significantly reduce the amount of wind that can pass through it, helping to keep you warmer by preventing wind chill.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to its softshell construction. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating garments like fleece or down.

What is the DWR finish?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

After several washes, the DWR finish can degrade. You can restore its performance by cleaning the jacket and then applying a DWR treatment, either through a spray or a wash-in product.

What are the pocket features?

The jacket has two lower pockets for convenient storage of small items like keys, a phone, or a wallet.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency has decreased

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and try moving the zipper again. Lubricating with a graphite pencil tip can also help.

Jacket feels clammy or hot during activity

While the jacket is breathable, intense activity may still lead to moisture buildup. Try opening the zip for increased ventilation or remove a layer underneath if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective wind resistance for comfort in breezy conditions.
  • Good water repellency for light rain or splashes.
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during activity.
  • Comfortable softshell construction.
  • Practical design with zip guard and adjustable hem.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, may not withstand heavy rain.
  • Polka dot pattern may not suit all professional settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: As an apparel item, it is generally compatible with most outdoor or casual wear. Consider layering with additional garments for colder temperatures.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of breathable fabrics and reduce their effectiveness, and may also affect the DWR finish.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, air dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: To restore water repellency, consider using a specific re-proofing spray or wash after several washes, following the product's instructions.
