Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Mountdale Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active men seeking a versatile layer that balances protection and freedom of movement. Built with 330gsm fabric and advanced XPT technology, it provides reliable wind resistance and a durable water-repellent finish, making it perfect for varying weather conditions. While highly breathable and comfortable, it is a performance-oriented soft shell, meaning it is best suited for active use rather than extreme, prolonged downpours where a dedicated hardshell might be preferred.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant thanks to its durable water-repellent finish, but it is not classified as fully waterproof and may eventually soak through in heavy, persistent rain.
What does 330gsm mean?
GSM stands for grams per square meter. It indicates the weight and thickness of the fabric, with 330gsm being a mid-to-heavyweight option that provides excellent warmth and durability.
Can I wear this as a winter jacket?
It is an excellent choice for cool weather, but for deep winter or freezing temperatures, you should layer it over a thermal base layer or an insulated mid-layer.
Does it have a hood?
No, this specific model features a high-neck collar design for wind protection rather than an integrated hood.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and to allow the fabric to breathe.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the soft shell construction provides inherent stretch, which, combined with the articulated sleeves, makes it very comfortable for active movement.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment spray, then allow it to cure according to the product instructions.
Zipper is catching or sticking
Check the zipper track for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Clean the track with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or pencil graphite if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Mountdale jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Compatibility: This jacket serves as an effective mid-layer or outer layer depending on the season. Pair it with a base layer for high-exertion activities or an additional waterproof shell if expecting heavy rain.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the durable water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the fabric and seams.
- Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior if you notice water no longer 'beads up' on the surface of the fabric.
