Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket in Orange (XXXL) is designed for adult males needing durable, high-visibility workwear. Its key benefit is protection against light rain and wind due to its water-repellent fabric, while a potential caveat is that it's primarily for moderate conditions, not heavy downpours. This jacket features a full zip, two pockets, reflective tape for enhanced visibility, and a 270gsm polyester construction.

FAQs
What does 270gsm mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter', which is a measure of fabric density. A 270gsm fabric is moderately heavy, offering a good balance of durability and comfort for a soft shell jacket.
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket features water-repellent technology, meaning it can shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and may not offer sufficient protection in heavy downpours.
How do I ensure maximum visibility?
The jacket is designed with high-visibility orange and incorporates reflective tape. For maximum visibility, ensure the jacket is clean and the reflective elements are not obscured.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather, especially when layered with insulating clothing underneath. It serves as a protective outer shell against wind and light moisture.
What kind of pockets does it have?
The jacket has two standard pockets, suitable for carrying small items or keeping hands warm.
How should I care for the reflective tape?
Avoid excessive abrasion or harsh detergents on the reflective tape. Follow standard washing instructions, and do not iron directly on the tape.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Consider a re-proofing treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel if the issue persists after washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. You can lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels too cool for current conditions
Layer the jacket over a thermal base layer or a fleece. The jacket is designed as an outer shell and its insulation properties are enhanced with additional layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup and is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard workwear layering. To maintain its performance and appearance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impede water repellency.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat or ironing, which can damage the fabric technology.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
