Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Connie V Softshell Jacket is designed for active adult women seeking a versatile midlayer for outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit is providing water repellency and wind resistance in a comfortable, stretchable fabric, making it ideal for trekking or country walks. A potential caveat is its suitability for light rainfall only, not heavy downpours. This jacket offers a blend of protection and mobility, featuring stretch Softshell fabric for agility, a water-repellent finish, and wind resistance.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Connie V Softshell has a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain. For heavy or prolonged downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Refer to the care label for detailed instructions.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
Yes, it works well as a midlayer in colder weather, providing insulation and wind protection. For very cold conditions, pair it with a warm base layer and an insulated outer jacket.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from polyester Softshell fabric.
Does this jacket have a hood?
Based on the product description, this specific model, the Connie V Softshell, does not appear to have an integrated hood. It is designed as a versatile jacket layer.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
Regular washing with mild detergent and occasional re-proofing treatments (using a spray or wash-in product) will help maintain its water-repellent capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket feels restrictive
Ensure the jacket is the correct size. Check that any layers worn underneath are not too bulky and allow for movement within the stretch fabric.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
