Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a comfortable and functional outerwear piece for active use. Its key benefit is providing protection against wind and light moisture thanks to its breathable, water-repellent softshell fabric. A potential caveat is that it is designed for wind and water resistance, not full waterproofing, so extended exposure to heavy rain may require additional protection. The jacket features a high-neck, zip-neck design, long sleeves, and a shockcord hem for a secure fit, along with two lower pockets for practicality.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket features a DWR finish for water resistance against light rain and showers, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

What type of activities is this jacket best for?

It is ideal for moderate outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, commuting, and general casual wear in cool, breezy, or mildly damp conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric conditioner and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.

Can I wear a thicker layer underneath?

Yes, the jacket can be layered over base layers or light to medium-weight mid-layers. However, very bulky layers might affect the fit.

What does 'DWR Finish' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry from light rain.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

After washing, you can reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat setting. For continued effectiveness, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofing spray periodically.

What is the purpose of the shockcord hem?

The shockcord hem allows you to adjust the fit around your waist. Tightening it helps to seal out drafts and trap warmth, preventing cold air from entering.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

This may occur during heavy exertion or prolonged exposure to rain. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and consider wearing a more waterproof outer layer for heavy downpours. The fabric is breathable, which can sometimes feel like dampness if internal moisture cannot escape fast enough.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve movement.

DWR finish is no longer effective (water soaks in).

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.

Shockcord hem is loose or not tightening.

Check the cord lock mechanism. If it is damaged or worn, it may need replacement. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the eyelets.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as a standalone outerwear piece. It can be layered over base layers or light mid-layers for added warmth. It is compatible with most casual and professional outdoor attire.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (130°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric conditioners or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results and to maintain water repellency, dry inside out.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. If ironing is absolutely necessary, use a cool setting on the reverse side only.
  4. Re-proofing: To maintain the DWR finish, consider using a specialized re-proofing spray after several washes, following the product's instructions.
