Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not fully waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy downpours.

Does this jacket have a hood?

No, this specific model of the Regatta Reid Softshell does not feature a hood.

Can I wear this while hiking?

Yes, the stretch fabric and breathable properties make it an excellent choice for hiking and active pursuits.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle without fabric softener to preserve the water-repellent finish.

Is the jacket windproof?

It is highly wind-resistant, providing a barrier against cold breezes while still allowing enough airflow to prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a DWR spray treatment to restore performance.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit, then apply a tiny amount of candle wax or dry lubricant to the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of breathability compared to traditional waterproof shells
  • Lightweight construction prevents the jacket from feeling bulky
  • Stretch fabric allows for a full range of arm and torso motion
  • Easy to layer over base or mid-layers for added warmth
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for both trail and urban environments

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained rainfall
  • Lacks a hood for full head protection
  • Water-repellent finish may require re-application over time

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.
