Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket - Blue

The jacket has a durable water repellent (DWR) finish and is designed for water resistance against light rain and showers. For heavy or prolonged downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

The jacket provides wind resistance and some insulation. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath.

You can use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the specific instructions provided with the reproofing product.

The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to escape.

The hood has drawcord adjusters that can be tightened or loosened to achieve a secure and comfortable fit around the face.

Yes, the hood is detachable and can be removed when not needed.

The DWR finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable DWR reproofing treatment, following the product instructions.

Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, as this can impede airflow. If wearing layers underneath, ensure they are also breathable. The breathability rating is suitable for moderate activity; high-intensity exercise may exceed its capacity.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
