This Regatta Cera V Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and protective outer layer for active outdoor use. Its key benefit is offering a balance of wind and water resistance with breathability, ensuring comfort during moderate activity. A potential caveat is that while showerproof, it is not fully waterproof. The jacket is crafted from a blend of 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane with a DWR finish, making it lightweight, quick-drying, and wind-resistant. Key features include articulated sleeves, an adjustable hood, mesh-lined zipped pockets, and an adjustable hem.

No, the Regatta Cera V Soft Shell Jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it showerproof and resistant to light rain, but not fully waterproof. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.
After washing the jacket according to care instructions, you can reapply the DWR finish using a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Follow the product instructions carefully, as most DWR treatments require heat (like ironing or tumble drying on low) to activate.
The jacket provides wind resistance and some insulation, but for very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
This refers to the amount of water vapor (in grams) that can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. A rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs indicates good breathability, helping to prevent moisture buildup during physical activity.
It is recommended to machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Do not iron. Refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for detailed instructions.
The jacket features two lower zipped pockets that are lined with mesh. This provides secure storage and can also offer ventilation when the zips are partially open.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the manufacturer's instructions for activation (often involving heat).
Ensure the DWR finish is not clogged, as this can impede breathability. Also, check that inner layers are not trapping moisture. If the jacket is heavily soiled, a thorough wash may be needed.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil tip if necessary.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: While designed primarily for outdoor activities, this jacket is suitable for general wear. It can be layered over base layers and fleeces for added warmth in colder temperatures.
