Regatta Professional 2 Layer Soft Shell Jacket - Blue - S

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams would be more appropriate.

This jacket provides moderate warmth due to its fleece lining. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. Measure your chest and waist and compare these measurements to the garment's specifications. The jacket is designed for a standard fit, allowing for layering underneath.

It is recommended to use a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fabric's performance properties.

Reapplication frequency depends on usage and washing. If you notice water no longer beads up on the surface, it's a good time to reapply a suitable water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment.

No, the hood is a sew-on feature and cannot be removed.

A 2-layer construction typically means the outer fabric is bonded to a breathable membrane or a light protective layer. In this case, it's likely referring to the main fabric and the internal fleece lining contributing to its structure and insulation.

Ensure the water-repellent finish is intact. Consider re-applying a suitable water-repellent treatment if it has diminished. Also, check that all zippers are fully closed to prevent water ingress.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil.

Wash the jacket separately on a gentle cycle the first few times. This typically reduces initial shedding. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can exacerbate pilling.

Check if the toggles have come off their cords. If they are still attached but not holding, you may need to replace the toggles or secure the cords more tightly.
