This Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket in Purple (Size L) is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and protective outer layer. Its key benefit is providing wind resistance and water repellency, making it ideal for outdoor activities. A potential caveat is its breathable yet not fully waterproof nature, meaning heavy downpours might eventually penetrate the fabric. This jacket features a breathable, wind-resistant, and DWR-finished softshell fabric, a high-neck zip neck, long sleeves, and practical lower pockets.

No, this jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish and is wind-resistant and breathable. It is suitable for light rain but not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours.
Machine wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically can help maintain water repellency.
The DWR finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, providing protection against light rain and preventing the outer fabric from becoming saturated.
This soft shell jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, it can be worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.
Softshell refers to a fabric that is typically stretchy, breathable, and offers some level of wind and water resistance. It prioritizes comfort and mobility over the full waterproofing of a hardshell jacket.
The jacket has an internal shockcord at the hem. You can pull on the cord or toggles (if present) to tighten the fit around your waist, helping to keep out wind and cold.
This is normal if the DWR finish is wearing off or if the rain was heavier than expected. Ensure the DWR treatment is maintained. For heavy rain, consider an additional waterproof layer.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Use the internal shockcord at the hem to tighten the fit, reducing drafts and improving comfort.
Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size before purchasing.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males for general outdoor and casual wear. Pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.
