Full details
The Regatta Octagon II 3-Layer Waterproof Softshell Bodywarmer is designed for active adults who require a balance of warmth, mobility, and weather protection during outdoor work or recreational activities. Its primary benefit is the combination of wind resistance and breathable fabric, providing excellent comfort without overheating; however, as a bodywarmer (gilet), it does not provide coverage for the arms, which may require layering in extremely cold environments.

FAQs
Is this gilet truly waterproof?

Can I wear this over a thick hoodie?
Yes, the XXXL size is designed with enough room to comfortably layer over hoodies or heavy sweaters.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the Softshell XPT fabric is designed to offer a degree of stretch for better mobility during active use.
Is it safe to tumble dry?
It is generally recommended to air dry this garment to ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating and the bonded layers.
Can I add an embroidered logo to this?
Yes, the Regatta Octagon II is designed for easy customization, including printing and embroidery.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider using a technical re-proofing spray specifically designed for softshell garments.
Feeling damp inside during heavy activity
Ensure you are using breathable moisture-wicking base layers; cotton layers under the gilet will absorb sweat and trap moisture against your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper maintenance is essential to retain its functional properties.
- Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the ATL water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric layers.
- Customization: The shell is optimized for printing. If you plan to add company branding, ensure your print provider is aware that this is a softshell membrane, as it may require specific heat-press settings to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
- Compatibility: This item is designed to be worn over base or mid-layers. Ensure your under-layers are moisture-wicking to take full advantage of the breathable nature of the Regatta Octagon II.
