Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Reid Softshell Jacket is a versatile, lightweight outer layer designed for men who prioritize comfort and flexibility during outdoor activities. Engineered with a warm-backed woven stretch fabric and a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, this jacket excels at keeping you shielded from wind and light moisture. While it is perfect for everyday wear and layering, it is worth noting that it is designed primarily for light weather protection rather than extreme, heavy rain conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features a water-repellent finish, which is ideal for light showers and damp conditions, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy or sustained rain.

Can this be worn as a mid-layer?

Yes, its lightweight, flexible construction makes it an excellent candidate for layering under a more heavy-duty waterproof shell during winter.

Does the material stretch?

Yes, the jacket is crafted from woven stretch fabric, providing superior mobility compared to traditional stiff jackets.

How should I wash this jacket?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can damage the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

Does it have an internal pocket?

No, the design includes two external zipped lower pockets for your belongings.

What is the primary function of the shockcord hem?

The hem allows you to pull the jacket tighter around your waist to keep cold air out and create a more personalized fit.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface.

The DWR coating has likely worn off; clean the jacket, dry it, and apply a DWR reactivation or spray-on product.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck.

Check for debris or fabric caught in the track and gently clear it; applying a light touch of zipper lubricant can also restore smooth movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of flexibility for active movement
  • Soft-touch handle for premium comfort
  • Effective wind resistance for varied weather
  • Easy to layer under larger waterproof coats
  • Secure zipped storage for essentials

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy or prolonged rainfall
  • Lightweight material lacks the insulation of heavy winter parkas
  • No hood included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket performs as intended, adjust the shockcord hem at the waist to suit your fit; tightening it will help trap heat and prevent wind from entering from below. The jacket is highly compatible with moisture-wicking base layers or mid-weight sweaters. For care, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the jacket's water-repellent treatment. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you may apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent finish.
