FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a 'water repellent' finish and a 'waterproof and breathable 3-layer membrane'. While it offers excellent protection against light rain and moisture, 'water repellent' means water beads off, whereas fully 'waterproof' typically refers to garments that can withstand prolonged, heavy downpours without saturation. For extreme conditions, additional waterproof layers might be advisable.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes, the Regatta Professional Venturer jacket comes with a detachable hood, allowing you to customize your protection based on weather conditions or personal preference.

What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?

Softshell XPT is a fabric technology from Regatta Professional designed to provide enhanced performance. It typically signifies a lightweight, stretchy fabric that combines wind resistance, water repellency, and breathability, often with a warm-backed construction for comfort.

How should I clean the jacket?

Info needed: specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, technical outerwear-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to help maintain the DWR finish.

Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?

The jacket's wind-resistant and warm-backed design makes it suitable for cooler weather. However, for very cold winter conditions, it is recommended to wear it as part of a layering system with appropriate base and mid-layers for optimal warmth, as softshells are not insulated for extreme cold.

What kind of pockets does it have?

The jacket is equipped with two zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket, providing secure and convenient storage options for your essentials.

Can I get my company logo printed on this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be ideal for screen, transfer, and vinyl printing, making it an excellent choice for corporate branding, team uniforms, or personalized workwear.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads up on the jacket surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or re-applied. Try tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes (if care label permits) to reactivate the existing DWR. If that doesn't work, apply a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product specifically designed for technical outerwear.

Jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.

This could indicate a build-up of dirt, sweat, or detergent residue clogging the fabric's pores. Wash the jacket according to the care label instructions, ensuring you use a technical outerwear-specific cleaner and rinse thoroughly to remove all residues. Avoid fabric softeners.

Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.

First, check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove it. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., paraffin wax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth and gently work the slider back and forth.

Hood or cuff adjustments don't stay tight.

Inspect the shockcords and cord locks. Ensure the cord is properly threaded through the lock mechanism. If the cord lock appears damaged or worn, it might need replacement. For cuffs, ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free of debris.

  • Secure storage with multiple zipped pockets
  • Comfortable due to warm-backed, breathable fabric

Cons

  • Info needed: exact weight for packability considerations.
  • Info needed: specific temperature rating or recommended use range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions ### Initial Setup Simply don the jacket and adjust the hood and cuffs to your preference for a comfortable and protective fit. The shockcord adjustment system on the hood allows for quick tightening or loosening, while the adjustable cuffs can be secured with their fastenings. ### Compatibility This jacket is highly versatile and compatible with various settings: - Layering: It can be worn as an outer layer over base layers and mid-layers for increased warmth in cooler conditions. - Activities: Suitable for professional outdoor work, hiking, trekking, urban commuting, and general casual wear. - Seasonality: Ideal for autumn, spring, and milder winter days. ### Care and Maintenance To ensure the longevity and performance of your Regatta Professional Venturer Jacket, follow these general care guidelines: - Washing: Info needed: specific washing instructions. Generally, softshell jackets should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear, avoiding fabric softeners which can impair breathability and DWR. - Drying: Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat as it can damage the membrane and DWR finish. - DWR Reactivation: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat (if recommended by specific care label) or by applying a DWR-restoring spray or wash-in product. - Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
