Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Venturer Hooded Soft Shell Jacket is designed for women seeking versatile protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit lies in its blend of waterproof, wind-resistant, and breathable fabric, keeping you comfortable in varying weather. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is a soft shell, which may offer less insulation than a traditional insulated jacket.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof and wind-resistant, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged downpours or very heavy rain, consider a more robust waterproof jacket.

What type of activities is this jacket best for?

It is ideal for hiking, walking, trekking, and general outdoor use in variable weather conditions. It also works well as a casual jacket.

Can I wear a thick fleece underneath?

Yes, you can wear a fleece underneath, but for very thick fleeces, you might find a slightly larger size more comfortable depending on your fit preference. The jacket is designed to accommodate layering.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and do not bleach or iron.

What does XPT stand for in the fabric technology?

XPT typically refers to Regatta's advanced waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant technology, designed for outdoor performance.

Are the pockets waterproof?

While the jacket material is waterproof, the zippers on the pockets are standard zippers and may not be fully waterproof. It is advisable to keep electronics or valuables that cannot get wet in a separate waterproof pouch.

What is the difference between this and a hardshell jacket?

A soft shell jacket like this offers more stretch, breathability, and comfort for active use, with good water and wind resistance. A hardshell jacket typically offers superior waterproofing and windproofing, often with a stiffer construction, and is better suited for extreme weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil tip) to the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper if it appears dirty.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Check for damage to the fabric or seams. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the existing treatment has worn off, following the product instructions.

Hood adjustment is not secure.

Ensure the toggles or drawstrings are properly threaded and tightened. Check for any obstructions preventing them from holding their position.

Jacket feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the inner lining is clean and free from debris. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to restore fabric performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup as it is a ready-to-wear garment. It is compatible with various outdoor activities and can be worn over base layers or light mid-layers. To care for your Regatta Venturer Jacket:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
