Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Women's Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable outdoor wear. Its key benefit is offering a blend of wind resistance, breathability, and waterproofing thanks to its 3-layer membrane and DWR finish. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, it is best suited for moderate weather conditions rather than heavy downpours.

FAQs

What does '3 Layer Membrane' mean?

A 3-layer membrane jacket has a waterproof and breathable membrane sandwiched between the outer fabric and the inner lining. This construction provides enhanced protection against the elements while maintaining comfort by allowing sweat vapor to escape.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a waterproof membrane and a DWR finish, making it highly water-resistant and capable of handling moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof shell might be more appropriate.

How do I wash this jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not tumble dry on high heat. Re-apply a DWR treatment after washing to maintain performance.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is detachable. It can be removed or reattached as needed, and features a drawstring for adjustable fitting when in use.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for walking, hiking, casual outdoor activities, and everyday wear in changeable weather conditions. Its wind resistance and breathability make it versatile for moderate exertion.

What does DWR Finish stand for?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

What size should I choose if I'm a UK 12?

The product description indicates that Size UK 12 corresponds to 36 inches. It is recommended to consult a size guide if available or measure yourself for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment to restore water repellency. Ensure all seams and zippers are properly closed during wear.

Jacket feels clammy or hot.

This indicates reduced breathability. Check that the internal layers are not overly insulating for the activity. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and residue can clog fabric pores. Consider opening the zip slightly for ventilation.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the drawstring on the detachable hood for a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is correctly attached if it has been removed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective wind and water resistance for outdoor activities.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating during exertion.
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs offer customizable protection.
  • Multiple secure zip pockets for storing personal items.
  • Durable construction suitable for regular use.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extreme weather conditions requiring heavy-duty waterproofing.
  • As a soft shell, it offers less insulation than a traditional padded jacket.
  • The grey plaid pattern might not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women, size UK 12 (36 inches). The unisex design of soft shell jackets means it can be layered over various types of clothing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can compromise the DWR finish and fabric performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's specific instructions (typically after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface).
