FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and showers, but it is not waterproof and will eventually soak through in heavy, persistent rain.

Can I wear this as a winter coat?

It works well as an outer layer for cool, windy days or as a mid-layer underneath a heavy winter jacket during freezing conditions.

How does the sizing fit?

The Regatta Reid features a standard active fit. It is recommended to choose your usual size, allowing room for thin base layers underneath.

Does this jacket have a hood?

No, this specific model is a non-hooded softshell jacket.

Is it machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the care label for specific temperature guidelines, typically 30-40 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and apply a water-repellent treatment spray.

Zipper is sticking or catching

Check the track for debris or fabric fibers. Carefully clear the obstruction and gently zip back and forth to ensure smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for immediate use. To ensure long-lasting performance, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which may damage the synthetic fibers.
  3. Maintenance: If the water-repellent finish begins to fail over time, apply a technical DWR re-proofer spray to restore the jacket's ability to bead off water.
  4. Storage: Store on a hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the garment and protect the fabric finish.
