FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof like a hardshell?
This softshell jacket features a waterproof and breathable membrane, offering excellent protection against moderate rain and wind. While highly water-resistant, it may not provide the same level of immersion protection as a dedicated heavy-duty hardshell in extreme conditions.
What is the temperature rating for this jacket?
The jacket is designed with a warm-backed woven fabric for insulation, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. Specific temperature ratings are not provided, but it is best used as an outer layer in conditions where wind and light rain are present.
Can this jacket be worn for high-intensity sports?
Yes, the breathable nature of the fabric makes it suitable for activities involving moderate to high exertion. The 3-layer membrane allows perspiration to escape, helping to regulate body temperature.
How durable is the DWR finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish provides initial water resistance. Its longevity depends on usage and care. Regular washing and occasional re-application of a DWR treatment will help maintain its effectiveness.
What kind of printing methods are recommended for this jacket?
The jacket is ideal for screen printing, transfer printing, and vinyl printing. Its 100% polyester fabric provides a suitable surface for these customization techniques.
How should I care for the jacket to maximize its lifespan?
Follow the care instructions carefully: machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?
Softshell XPT refers to Regatta's specific type of softshell fabric, designed to be exceptionally breathable and wind-resistant while maintaining a comfortable stretch and feel.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water-repellent.
Re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure inner layers are not trapping moisture. Check that the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions.
Seams appear to be leaking water.
This indicates a potential failure in the seam sealing or membrane. Contact the manufacturer or retailer for warranty information.
