The Regatta Reid Softshell Jacket is designed for active adults who need a versatile, lightweight outer layer for changing weather conditions. It provides a key benefit of wind resistance and water-repellent protection while maintaining high breathability through its warm-backed woven stretch fabric. A notable caveat is that while the jacket handles light showers well, it is not a fully waterproof garment designed for heavy or prolonged rain.

No, it is water-repellent. It is designed to handle light rain and wind, but it is not a waterproof shell for heavy storms.
It is an excellent choice as a mid-layer during winter, though you may require a heavier insulated jacket or waterproof shell over the top in sub-zero temperatures.
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with non-biological detergent. Do not use fabric conditioner.
The Regatta Reid features two external zipped lower pockets; it does not typically include internal pockets.
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you intend to wear thick layers underneath, you may prefer to size up.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR restorer.
Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills; avoid pulling at snags, which can cause them to expand.
This jacket requires no formal setup; it is ready to wear immediately. To ensure the longevity of the water-repellent properties, wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for softshell fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibers and degrade the DWR finish. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from shrinking or losing its stretch. If the water-repellent performance begins to fade over time, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore its protective capabilities.
