Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Malana women's hiking jacket is designed for active adults seeking comfort and freedom of movement during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is the active stretch fabric combined with underarm gussets for unrestricted mobility, while a potential caveat is that its primary function is as a mid-layer or for mild conditions, not heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Regatta Malana Softshell is water-resistant but not fully waterproof. It is designed for breathability and comfort during active use in dry or mildly wet conditions. For heavy rain, it should be worn with a waterproof outer layer.

What is the best way to layer this jacket?

This jacket is excellent as a mid-layer. It can be worn over a moisture-wicking base layer or a t-shirt and under a waterproof or windproof outer shell for added warmth and protection.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart available on the product page or brand website. Compare your measurements to the chart to find the best fit. The 'M' size in the product details corresponds to a specific measurement range.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

As a softshell, it provides a good level of warmth, especially with its terry backing. However, for extreme cold, it is best used as part of a layering system, adding an insulated jacket or coat over it.

What does 'active stretch' mean in relation to the fabric?

Active stretch refers to a fabric that is designed to move with your body, offering a high degree of flexibility and comfort during physical activity. The 4% elastane content in this fabric contributes to its stretch properties.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

The two lower zipped pockets are typically sized to accommodate most standard smartphones, along with other small essentials like keys or a wallet, keeping them secure and accessible.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently run a graphite pencil along the zipper teeth or use a small amount of zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. Consider if a larger size is needed, checking the size guide. The underarm gussets are designed for maximum flexibility; if restriction persists, it might indicate an incorrect size.

Pilling or fabric abrasion observed

This can occur with normal wear. To minimize, wash the jacket inside out and avoid abrasive surfaces. Remove minor pills gently with a fabric shaver.

Color fading after washing

Wash in cold water with similar colors. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
