Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Malana Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking comfort and freedom of movement during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in its active stretch fabric and underarm gussets, allowing for unrestricted agility. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for mild to cool conditions, rather than heavy rain or extreme cold. This jacket features a polyester/elastane blend for flexibility, terry backing for warmth, two zipped pockets for essentials, and stretch binding at the cuffs to block drafts.

FAQs

Is the Malana Softshell Jacket waterproof?

No, the Malana Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, not waterproof. It can handle light showers but is not suitable for heavy rain.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is best suited for outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and general everyday wear in cool, dry conditions where freedom of movement is important.

How should I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30 degrees with a mild detergent. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.

What does 'active stretch' mean in this context?

Active stretch refers to the fabric's ability to stretch and recover its shape, allowing for unrestricted movement during physical activity.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This specific model, the Regatta Malana Softshell Full Zip Fleece, does not feature a hood. Please check product details for variants that may include one.

Can I wear a thicker layer underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed for layering. You can wear a base layer or a light fleece underneath, but a very bulky layer might slightly restrict movement due to the jacket's fit.

What are the benefits of the terry backing?

The terry backing provides a soft, comfortable feel against the skin and adds a small amount of insulation for warmth.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have the correct size. The active stretch fabric offers flexibility, but proper sizing is crucial for optimal movement.

Pilling or snagging on the fabric.

Avoid contact with rough surfaces. If minor pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be used gently. Follow care instructions to minimize damage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. You can try lubricating the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant.

Jacket is not warm enough.

This jacket is designed for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, layer with a warm fleece or thermal base layer underneath.
