Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Mens Soft Shell Jacket in Blue Plaid (XXL) is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, water-repellent, and wind-resistant outerwear option. Its key benefit is providing reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. Key features include a knitted, recycled softshell fabric with quick-dry technology, a collared neckline, full zip fastening with zip guard, two zip pockets, and one chest pocket.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket is water-repellent, designed to protect against light rain and showers. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and wind-resistant. For colder temperatures, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for Regatta apparel. This specific item is an XXL, intended for adult males. Check measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length.

What does 'softshell' mean in this context?

Softshell refers to a woven fabric that is generally more stretchy and breathable than traditional hardshell waterproof fabrics, offering comfort and weather resistance.

Is the plaid pattern printed or woven?

The product description indicates a 'Plaid' pattern. This is typically achieved through the weave of the fabric or dyeing process, not a surface print.

How durable is the recycled polyester material?

Recycled polyester generally offers comparable durability to virgin polyester, making it a sustainable yet robust choice for outerwear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or oil, which can degrade water repellency. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for softshell fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check the zipper for any fabric snags. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or a silicone spray designed for zippers.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

While the fabric is quick-dry and breathable, excessive moisture from intense activity may still build up. Ensure you are not overheating by adjusting layers or opening the main zip for ventilation.
