Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Regatta Reid Softshell, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Utilize the shockcord hem to adjust the fit around your hips, which helps seal out cold drafts.
- Layering: Wear this as a mid-layer under a heavier coat in freezing temperatures, or as an outer layer during high-exertion activities in mild, windy conditions.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish from the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric integrity over the long term.
- Re-treatment: If water stops beading on the surface, use a DWR re-proofer spray to restore the jacket's weather resistance.
