FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

The Regatta Carisbrooke Jacket is ideal for mixed weather, offering protection against wind and light rain. It is suitable for cool to mild temperatures.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and features drawcord adjusters for a customized fit.

Can I wear this jacket for intense hiking or running?

While the jacket is breathable, it is primarily designed for everyday wear and light outdoor activities. For very high-intensity sports, a dedicated technical shell might offer superior performance.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and iron on a low heat. Do not dry clean. Avoid fabric softeners.

What does 'longline fit' mean?

A longline fit means the jacket extends further down the body than a standard jacket, typically to the hip or mid-thigh, offering more coverage.

Is the jacket completely waterproof?

The jacket has a durable water-repellent finish, meaning it can repel light rain and water. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged heavy downpours.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester Softshell XPT fabric with a honeycomb backing.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or warm

Ensure the jacket is not zipped up completely if you are engaged in strenuous activity. The breathability rating is high, but intense exertion can still lead to moisture build-up. Consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Check that the drawcords are not tangled or snagged. Gently pull the drawcords to tighten or loosen the hood fit. Ensure the hood is properly secured when attached.

Snap fastener on sleeve is loose

Inspect the snap for damage. If it is a manufacturing defect, contact the retailer. Minor issues may be repairable with a snap repair kit, but professional assessment is recommended.
