Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket in Blue is designed for adult women seeking reliable everyday protection against the elements during commutes, walks, and changeable weather. Its key benefit is offering water-repellency and breathability in a flattering, longline silhouette. A potential consideration is that while water-repellent, it may not be fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain. Key features include Softshell XPT fabric, a detachable hood, adjustable sleeves, and two lower pockets.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Carisbrooke jacket features a durable water-repellent finish and is water-repellent, making it suitable for light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection during prolonged heavy rainfall.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. Avoid using fabric softeners.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is detachable and can be removed using the fastenings provided, allowing for versatility in different weather conditions.

What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?

Softshell XPT is a fabric technology that combines protection from the elements (wind and water resistance) with breathability and stretch for comfort during outdoor activities.

How do I adjust the sleeves?

The sleeves feature snap fasteners that allow you to adjust the fit and cuff length for added comfort and to keep out drafts.

What is the breathability rating?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating a good level of moisture vapor transfer to help keep you dry from the inside during activity.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester Softshell XPT fabric, weighing 200gsm, with a honeycomb backing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a suitable waterproofing spray for softshell fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is flat. Gently try to move the zipper. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Hood adjustment cords are tangled.

Carefully untangle the cords. If they are very knotted, try using a needle or pin to loosen the knot before pulling them apart.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.

This may be due to exceeding the jacket's breathability limits during high exertion or wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Ensure you are using appropriate layers and consider removing the jacket during intense activity.
