FAQs

What is XPT fabric technology?

XPT (eXtra Protection Technology) is Regatta's proprietary fabric technology designed to provide advanced protection against the elements, balancing breathability with waterproofing and wind resistance.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers waterproofing, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof shell jacket may be more appropriate.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides a good windproof barrier and some insulation. For colder conditions, it is designed to be layered over warmer mid-layers like fleece or insulated jackets.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart available on the product page or retailer's website. Measure your chest, waist, and hips and compare them to the provided measurements. The size guide will indicate the UK dress size equivalent.

What is the difference between this and a standard soft shell jacket?

This jacket features a hood and utilizes Regatta's specific XPT fabric technology for enhanced weather resistance, differentiating it from simpler soft shell designs.

How often should I re-apply waterproofing treatment?

It is recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface of the fabric, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not repelling water effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for soft shell fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation. Check the zip guard for any obstructions.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can occur if the jacket's breathability is compromised or if you are generating a lot of moisture internally. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from residues that might block pores. Wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

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

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. Designed as an outerwear piece for various outdoor and casual activities. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out with similar colors on a gentle cycle (typically 30°C or 40°C).
  2. Detergent: Use a specific liquid detergent for technical outdoor clothing. Avoid fabric softeners and powders, as they can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability and waterproofing.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  5. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider re-applying a water-repellent finish periodically, following the product's instructions (usually after several washes).
