FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a DWR finish which makes it showerproof and water-repellent for light rain. It is not designed as a fully waterproof jacket and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What is the fabric made of?

The main fabric is primarily 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, with a DWR Finish. It also incorporates Extol Stretch fabric technology.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash inside out at 30°C using a non-biological liquid detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket is insulating and lightweight, making it suitable for cooler temperatures, especially when layered. It provides wind resistance but may not be sufficient on its own for very cold or freezing conditions.

What does 'Extol Stretch' mean?

Extol Stretch refers to fabric panels integrated into the jacket that offer enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, often found in the underarm or side panels.

How do I restore the water repellency?

After washing and drying, you can restore water repellency by using a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Always follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.

Does it have a hood?

This specific model, the Regatta Soft Shell Jacket Cera V, features a standing collar and does not include a hood.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing

Clean the jacket thoroughly to remove any dirt or oils. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure no detergent residue remains after washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (e.g., beeswax or paraffin) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve its glide.

Jacket feels less wind-resistant

Check the hem toggle and ensure it is tightened properly. Inspect the fabric for any damage or wear that might compromise wind resistance.

Fit is too loose

Adjust the toggle hem to create a tighter fit around the waist. For significant fit issues, consider layering with thicker mid-layers.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and water repellency:

  2. Rinsing: It is recommended to rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
