Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals seeking a durable, versatile layer that balances protection with mobility. Constructed from high-quality polyester, this jacket excels at shielding the wearer from wind and light rain thanks to its specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish; however, while it offers excellent breathability, it is not a fully waterproof hard shell and may require an additional outer layer during heavy downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, but it is not fully waterproof and will soak through during heavy or prolonged rain.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is an excellent choice for cool, windy weather, but for sub-zero temperatures, we recommend layering it over a thermal fleece or insulated mid-layer.
How should I wash my soft shell?
Machine wash at a low temperature using a non-biological detergent. Do not use fabric softeners.
Does the jacket have an adjustable hood?
This specific model features a high-neck collar design for wind protection but does not include a hood.
What material is this jacket made from?
It is crafted from durable, woven polyester designed for breathability and wind resistance.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The jacket follows standard sizing conventions. We recommend checking your measurements against a size chart if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and apply a DWR-restoring spray or tumble dry on low heat to reactivate existing properties.
Stiff or sticky zipper.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip guard. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Generally, machine wash on a cool setting with a gentle detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish and compromise the water-repellent capabilities. For drying, a low-heat tumble dry or hang drying is recommended. To maintain water repellency over time, you may apply a specialized DWR reactivation spray once the fabric begins to saturate rather than bead moisture. The jacket is designed with a standard professional fit, making it compatible with most standard base and mid-layer garments.
