FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Cera V Soft Shell Jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, meaning it is water-repellent and will shed light rain, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
How do I determine my size?
The jacket comes in standard men's sizes (S, M, L, XL, etc.). Chest measurements are provided: S (38 in), M (40 in), L (42 in), XL (44 in). It is recommended to measure your chest and compare it with the provided size guide for the best fit. Given its relaxed fit, some may prefer to size down for a snugger feel.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is insulating and lightweight, making it suitable for cooler temperatures, especially when layered. It offers wind resistance, which is beneficial in colder conditions.
What is the main advantage of the DWR finish?
The DWR finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, preventing the material from becoming saturated by light rain or moisture. This keeps you drier and helps the jacket dry faster.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash inside out with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. After washing, you can reapply a DWR treatment to restore water repellency. Avoid high heat drying.
What does 'Soft Shell' mean in this context?
'Soft Shell' refers to a type of outerwear fabric that is breathable, flexible, and offers a combination of wind and water resistance, along with insulation. It is designed for comfort and freedom of movement during active pursuits.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency has decreased
Clean the jacket thoroughly with a mild detergent and then apply a DWR re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is not exposed to fabric softener during washing.
Jacket feels less windproof
Check the integrity of the full zip and ensure the toggle hem is adjusted correctly. The fabric itself is designed to be wind resistant, but seals are crucial for performance.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or graphite (pencil lead) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the package.
Compatibility: Designed as a male outerwear garment, it is suitable for adult wear. It can be worn on its own or layered with other clothing.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash inside out with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. To restore water repellency, use a specific fabric re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment following the product instructions. Typically, this is done after washing and while the garment is still slightly damp before air drying.
