Its key benefit is exceptional flexibility and water-repellent protection, making it ideal for demanding work environments.

This jacket features a 2-layer softshell construction, 4-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement, three functional pockets (two zipped lower, one zipped chest), a grown-on hood with adjusters, and reflective details for enhanced visibility. It is also made using recycled materials, aligning with sustainability efforts.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

How do I wash the jacket to maintain its features?

Machine wash at 40°C on a delicate cycle with liquid detergent only. Avoid fabric conditioner. Rinse twice. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the DWR finish.

What does '4-way stretch' mean?

4-way stretch fabric means the material can be stretched in both length and width directions, providing maximum flexibility and freedom of movement, which is ideal for active work.

Are the reflective details durable?

The reflective details are designed for enhanced visibility. To maintain them, avoid ironing directly on them and follow the recommended washing and drying instructions carefully.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides a comfortable barrier against wind and light moisture. For very cold conditions, it is designed to be layered over warmer mid-layers or base layers.

What does 'made using recycled materials' mean?

This indicates that parts of the jacket are constructed from recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable product lifecycle by reducing waste and the demand for virgin resources.

Where are the pockets located?

The jacket features two zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket, offering secure storage options.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. If smooth, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure zippers are fully closed before washing.

Water repellency seems reduced

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting to help reactivate the DWR finish. If performance is still low, consider using a specific DWR re-proofing treatment suitable for softshell fabrics, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The jacket is designed for stretch, but very thick mid-layers might reduce flexibility. Check the size guide to confirm if a larger size is needed.

Reflective details are peeling

Avoid ironing the jacket, especially directly on the reflective areas. If peeling occurs, it may be due to wear and tear or improper care (e.g., high heat ironing). Smooth down gently and avoid further heat exposure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch fabric.
  • Water-repellent finish provides protection from light moisture.
  • Multiple secure zipped pockets for convenience.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective details for low-light visibility.
  • Comfortable and protective softshell material.
  • Made from recycled materials for eco-conscious users.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, only water-repellent.
  • May be too warm for very hot weather conditions.
  • Specific care instructions may be required to maintain DWR finish.
  • Sizing might vary, suggesting checking size guides.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to re-activate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
