Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, water-repellent, and wind-resistant outer layer for casual outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing protection from light showers and wind while remaining breathable and comfortable. A potential caveat is its showerproof, not fully waterproof, nature, making it best suited for light precipitation. The jacket is crafted from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, featuring a DWR finish, a standing collar, long sleeves, and adjustable hem.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket is showerproof due to its DWR finish, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is crafted from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying on high heat, ironing, and dry cleaning.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket is insulating and lightweight, making it suitable for moderate temperatures. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it as an outer layer over warmer mid-layers or thermal base layers.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This specific model features a standing collar and does not come with a hood.

What does DWR Finish mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a coating applied to fabrics that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, providing resistance to light rain and moisture.

Is this jacket available in other sizes or colours?

This guide focuses on the XXXL Polka Dot variant. Other sizes and colour options may be available from the brand.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced

The DWR finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider using a specific DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive

Ensure the hem toggle is loosened. If the fit is still too snug, consider if the size is appropriate or if a thicker base layer is being worn underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
