Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Standout Mens Ablaze Printable Softshell Jacket in Black, size XL, is designed for men seeking a durable and versatile outer layer. Its key benefit is its printability, making it ideal for customization, while its wind and water-resistant properties offer protection. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, meaning prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to dampness.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This softshell jacket is designed for moderate weather conditions. It provides wind resistance and some insulation but is best layered with warmer clothing for colder temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a cool setting with pure soap flakes. Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or harsh detergents. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Can I iron this jacket?

It is not recommended to iron this softshell jacket, as high heat can damage the fabric and its technical properties. If creases are bothersome, try hanging it in a steamy bathroom or using a very low heat setting on an iron with a protective cloth, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof?

Water-repellent means the fabric will shed water and resist light moisture, suitable for drizzle or short showers. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water, even under prolonged exposure or pressure.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. For this specific jacket, the XL size corresponds to a Men's UK waist size of 42 inches. Measure your chest and waist to ensure the best fit.

Can the tearaway label be reattached?

The tearaway label is designed to be easily removed. It is not designed to be reattached. If you require a label, you would typically sew in a custom branded label.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency decreasing after washing.

Reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel. Ensure you are using pure soap flakes for washing and avoiding fabric softeners.

Print adhesion issues.

Ensure the fabric surface is clean and dry before printing. Follow the specific temperature, pressure, and time guidelines for the printing method (screen, transfer, vinyl) on softshell fabric.

Jacket feels damp during heavy rain.

This jacket has a water-repellent finish, not full waterproofing. For prolonged or heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed.

Zipper snagging.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If persistent, lubricate the zipper track with a wax-based product or graphite.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for custom printing and branding.
  • Offers good protection against wind and light rain.
  • Comfortable and breathable due to 3-layer fabric.
  • Durable construction for regular wear.
  • Adjustable hem provides a secure fit.
  • Lightweight design for ease of movement.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof; prolonged heavy rain may compromise protection.
  • May require specific care to maintain water-repellent properties.
  • Limited pocket count (2 lower pockets only).
  • Tearaway label, while good for custom branding, might be less secure for some users.
  • Primarily designed for cooler, breezy conditions rather than extreme cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility:

  • Printing: Compatible with screen printing, heat transfer, and vinyl printing. It's recommended to follow specific printing guidelines for softshell fabrics to ensure optimal adhesion and durability of the print.
  • Layering: The jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer. It can be comfortably layered over base layers or light mid-layers for added warmth. It is not designed as a standalone winter coat.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash using cool water with pure soap flakes. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric technology.
  • Drying: It is best to air dry the jacket. Tumble drying on a low heat setting might be possible, but check the garment's internal label. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fabric and membrane.
  • Re-waterproofing: To maintain the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, consider using a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash after several washes, following the product's instructions.
