FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it sheds light rain and drizzle, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.

What material is this jacket made of?

The jacket is constructed from high-quality, stretchable polyester fabric.

Can I wear this in winter?

It works well as an outer layer during mild days or as an insulating mid-layer underneath a heavy winter coat.

How should I wash the jacket?

Wash in a machine on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners.

Does it have a hood?

No, this specific model features a standard collar design without a hood.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket includes two zipped lower pockets to ensure your belongings stay inside during movement.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric rather than beading.

The DWR finish has likely worn off; apply a technical DWR re-proofer to restore water repellency.

Zipper is sticking or catching.

Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and wipe away any debris; you can use a small amount of graphite or candle wax to lubricate the teeth.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric

  • Limited to adult male sizing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Regatta Reid Softshell maintains its performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying, use the lowest heat setting.
  3. Re-treating: Over time, the water-repellent finish may wear off. Use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to refresh the coating.
  4. Fit: Utilize the shockcord hem to adjust the jacket around the waist, which prevents cold air from riding up under the garment during activity.
