Regatta Venturer Hooded Soft Shell Jacket - Blue - 14

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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