Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Professional Mens Soft Shell Jacket in Black (Size L) is designed for adult males seeking durable, weather-resistant outerwear for outdoor work or activities. Its primary benefit is providing protection against wind and water while remaining breathable. A potential consideration is that while water-resistant, it is not fully waterproof. This jacket features a polyester/elastane softshell fabric with a waterproof and wind-resistant Isotex treatment, a roll-away hood, adjustable cuffs, and multiple zip pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof or just water-resistant?

The jacket features Isotex technology which is described as waterproof and wind-resistant. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it is considered water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.

How do I choose the correct size?

Please refer to the size chart provided. For this jacket (L), the chest size is listed as 42 inches. Measure your chest and compare it to the available sizes (S: 38 in., M: 40 in., L: 42 in., XL: 44 in., XXL: 48 in., 3XL: 51 in.).

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This is a softshell jacket designed primarily for protection against wind and water. It is lightweight and offers some warmth due to its construction, but for very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or use fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodic reapplication of a waterproofing treatment is recommended.

Does the hood detach?

The hood is designed to be concealed and roll-away, meaning it can be stored within the collar when not in use. It is not a detachable hood.

What is the purpose of the reflective trim?

The reflective trim is a safety feature designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or foggy weather, by reflecting light back to its source.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure the garment is not over-worn in extreme, prolonged wet conditions beyond its water-resistant rating. Check that ventilation (if applicable) is open. If washing, ensure all detergent residue is rinsed out, and consider re-applying a water-repellent finish.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently pull the zipper while applying slight pressure. You can use a graphite pencil or a bit of wax (like beeswax or a candle) rubbed along the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reflective trim is peeling or damaged

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective trim. Minor peeling may be addressed with a fabric adhesive if done carefully, but significant damage may affect visibility.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent wind and water resistance for adverse weather.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during activity.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Practical features like a roll-away hood and secure zip pockets.
  • Adjustable fit for personalized comfort and protection.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, may not be suitable for prolonged heavy rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males. Available in various sizes (S-3XL) and colors (Black, Blue) to ensure a good fit and aesthetic preference.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (normal cycle). Use a mild detergent.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid high heat.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. Avoid using fabric softeners or conditioners, as these can clog the membrane and reduce breathability and water repellency.
  5. Water Repellency Treatment: For best results, re-apply a waterproofing treatment periodically, following the product's specific instructions.
