Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Professional Venturer 3 Layer Hooded Softshell Jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals seeking reliable weather protection. Its key win is the 'triple protection' offering waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant performance, making it ideal for varying conditions. A minor caveat is that while warm-backed, it's a softshell, meaning it might not offer the extreme thermal insulation of a heavily padded winter coat, but excels in active use.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the Regatta Professional Venturer features a 3-layer waterproof and breathable membrane fabric combined with an Atl durable water repellent (DWR) finish, designed to keep you dry in wet conditions.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash it. However, it's crucial to use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof/breathable outdoor gear and avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or conventional detergents, as these can damage the jacket's performance features.

What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for mild to cold, wet, and windy conditions. Its triple protection makes it versatile for rain, wind, and chilly temperatures, especially during active use like hiking or outdoor work.

Is the hood detachable?

Yes, the hood is detachable, providing flexibility depending on your activity and weather conditions. It is also adjustable via a shockcord system.

Does this jacket have internal pockets?

The product description specifies two zipped lower pockets and a zipped chest pocket. There is no mention of internal pockets.

Can I use this jacket for professional branding?

Yes, the jacket is described as 'Ideal for screen, transfer and vinyl printing', making it suitable for businesses looking to customize it for uniforms or promotional purposes.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from Polyester material, specifically a warm backed woven Softshell XPT fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-activating or re-applying. Try tumble drying on a low heat setting to reactivate existing DWR. If this doesn't work, purchase a DWR re-treatment product (spray-on or wash-in) designed for technical outerwear and follow its instructions.

The jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.

This often indicates that the jacket needs cleaning. Dirt, body oils, and detergent residues can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner for waterproof/breathable fabrics, ensuring to avoid fabric softeners, which can significantly reduce breathability.

Zippers feel stiff or are sticking.

Clean the zippers with a small brush and warm water to remove any dirt or debris. Once dry, you can apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of beeswax to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent all-weather protection (waterproof, breathable, wind-resistant)
  • Comfortable warm-backed fabric for added insulation
  • Highly adjustable for personalized fit and weather sealing (hood, cuffs)
  • Secure storage with multiple zipped pockets
  • Durable water repellent finish enhances performance
  • Versatile for professional branding and customization

Cons

  • Not designed for extreme cold; a softshell provides less thermal insulation than a heavily padded jacket
  • Requires specific care to maintain waterproof and breathable properties
  • May not offer the same abrasion resistance as some hardshell jackets
  • Info needed: Specific weight of the jacket is not provided, which could be a factor for ultralight activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Your Venturer jacket comes ready to wear. Before your first use, we recommend adjusting the hood and cuffs to your preferred fit. The shockcord system on the hood allows for quick adjustments, and the adjustable cuffs can be tightened to seal out drafts or moisture.

Compatibility

This softshell jacket is highly versatile for layering. Pair it with a moisture-wicking base layer in cool conditions and add a fleece or insulated mid-layer for colder environments. Its tailored fit is designed to accommodate these layers comfortably without feeling bulky.

Product Care & Maintenance

Proper care is essential to maintain the waterproof, breathable, and water repellent properties of your jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

  1. Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and fastenings. Loosen any drawcords.
  2. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can damage the membrane and DWR finish.
  3. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
  4. Drying: Air dry your jacket, or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Tumble drying can help reactivate the DWR finish. If air drying, ensure it's completely dry before storing.
  5. DWR Re-application: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can re-apply a DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) specifically designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product instructions for application.
  6. Storage: Store your jacket in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
