Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Regatta ADA Stretch Softshell Jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of packaging. Ensure the zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed for adult females and is suitable for a wide range of work and outdoor activities. It can be layered over base layers or light mid-layers for added warmth. Its stretch properties make it compatible with most standard work postures and movements.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (delicate cycle) with similar colours. Use a small amount of liquid detergent; avoid fabric conditioners and powders, as they can affect the water-repellent finish.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to re-activate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, periodically treat the jacket with a re-proofer spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If creasing occurs, a cool iron can be used very carefully on the reverse side, avoiding any printed or reflective areas.
