Regatta Professional Ada Stretch Soft Shell Jacket - Grey

The Ada Stretch Soft Shell Jacket is designed for comfort and flexibility in moderate conditions. While it offers some warmth, it is best layered with insulating clothing for colder temperatures. It is not intended as a heavy-duty winter jacket.

Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing. After washing and drying, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain its water-repellent properties, following the instructions on the re-proofing product.

Water-repellent means the fabric resists water absorption and will shed light rain or snow. Waterproof means the fabric is designed to prevent water from penetrating entirely, even under significant pressure or prolonged exposure.

Yes, the jacket's design allows for layering. A fleece or other mid-layer can be worn underneath for added warmth in cooler conditions.

The product description does not specify insulated pockets. The pockets are zippered for secure storage.

'Grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket's neckline, rather than being detachable or added separately.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for stretch, but proper sizing is key for full mobility.

The jacket has a DWR finish for water repellency, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer is recommended. The DWR finish may also need re-application if performance has degraded over time.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant can help.
