Regatta Connie V Softshell Walking Jacket - Powder Lilac - Size: 8

The Connie V Softshell Jacket has a water-repellent finish, making it suitable for light rain or drizzle. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric conditioner and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

The softshell material provides wind resistance and some warmth, making it ideal for mild conditions or as a layering piece. For very cold weather, you will likely need to wear a warmer insulating layer underneath.

Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration. It will cause water to bead up and roll off the surface, protecting you from light rain. It does not mean waterproof, which would prevent water entry even under pressure.

After washing, a low heat tumble dry is the most effective way to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. You can also use specific DWR spray treatments.

Yes, the breathable and flexible nature of the softshell material makes it suitable for activities where you generate body heat, such as hiking or brisk walking. For very strenuous activities, consider its breathability relative to your exertion level.

Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. If performance is still low, consider reapplying a DWR treatment.

This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged or heavy rain, a more waterproof outer layer is recommended. Ensure no seams are damaged, which could compromise water resistance.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If stiffness persists, a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.
