Regatta Venturer Hooded Soft Shell Jacket - Blue - 10

The jacket features waterproof fabric technology (XPT), making it highly water-resistant. It is designed to keep you dry in moderate rain, but for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket might be more suitable.

Please refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. The jacket is designed for adult females and is available in various UK sizes. The description mentions size 10 UK for this specific variant.

This soft shell jacket provides a good barrier against wind and light moisture, and can be layered. For very cold conditions, additional warm layers underneath (like a fleece or insulated jacket) will be necessary.

Machine wash at 30 degrees with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and do not tumble dry or iron. Washing separately is recommended. Periodic re-proofing will help maintain its water-repellent qualities.

The jacket features one chest pocket and two front pockets for convenient storage of your essentials.

A 'grown-on hood' is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached or rolled away, unlike hoods that might be zipped or buttoned on.

Ensure the jacket is not too tight, as this can restrict airflow. Check that all zippers are fully closed. If washing, ensure no fabric softener was used, as it can impair breathability. Consider if the activity level produced excessive perspiration.

This jacket is designed for water resistance, not full waterproofing. For prolonged heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof shell may be necessary. Re-applying a water-repellent finish to the jacket can help restore performance.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
