Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult females seeking versatile weather protection. Its key benefit is the combination of breathability and water repellency, keeping you comfortable in changing conditions. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it has a specific waterproof rating that may not be suitable for extreme downpours. The jacket features XPT fabric technology, a detachable hood, longline fit, and snap-fastening cuffs, making it a practical choice for outdoor activities.

FAQs

What does the waterproof rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs mean?

This rating indicates the breathability of the fabric. A rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs means that 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This signifies good breathability for active use.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is described as water-repellent and has a waterproof rating of 15000g/m²/24hrs, suggesting it can handle moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating might be more suitable.

How do I clean the Regatta Carisbrooke jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on a low setting and iron on a low heat if necessary. Do not dry clean.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the hood is detachable and features a drawcord for adjustment.

What are the main materials used in this jacket?

The jacket is crafted from a blend of 70% Polyester and 30% Recycled Polyester. It also incorporates softshell panels for added flexibility.

How does the longline fit affect its wearability?

The longline fit provides extended coverage, offering more protection to the upper legs and lower back, which can be beneficial in windy or wet conditions and adds a stylish element.

What sizes are available for this jacket?

The jacket is available in a range of UK women's sizes from 8 to 26.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can degrade water repellency. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing according to care instructions.

Hood does not fit snugly.

Adjust the drawcord on the detachable hood to achieve a more secure fit around the face.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Cuffs feel too loose.

The snap fastening cuffs offer a basic adjustment. For a tighter fit, ensure you are using the correct snap closure. If the snaps themselves are faulty, contact customer support.
