Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable and protective outer layer. Its key benefit is offering wind resistance and a water-repellent finish, making it ideal for outdoor activities in varied weather. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may penetrate. The jacket features a breathable polyester construction, a high-neck zip design for comfort and protection, and practical lower pockets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish which helps repel light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. For prolonged heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

How breathable is the softshell fabric?

The fabric is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape during moderate activity, which helps to prevent overheating and maintain comfort.

What kind of weather is this jacket best for?

This jacket is best suited for cool, windy, and mildly wet conditions. It provides good protection against wind chill and light showers.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

While it offers some warmth, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a warm fleece or insulated mid-layer.

How do I wash the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with zippers closed, wash separately, and do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help maintain the water-repellent finish.

Does the hem adjust for a tighter fit?

Yes, the jacket features a shockcord adjustable hem, allowing you to cinch it tighter to keep out drafts and seal in warmth.

What are the pocket configurations?

The jacket has two lower pockets for convenient storage of essentials.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing

Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing. For a more thorough restoration, consider using a specific DWR re-proofing spray according to product instructions.

Jacket feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric softener, as this can degrade the DWR finish and affect breathability. Tumble drying on low heat can also help restore softness.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
