Regatta Professional Octagon II Softshell Jacket - Blue

The Octagon II is waterproof and breathable, suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear or a more robust jacket might be necessary.

This softshell jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to its 3-layer construction. For very cold conditions, it is designed to be layered with insulating mid-layers for optimal warmth.

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or line dry. Avoid direct heat. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically will maintain water repellency.

It refers to the jacket's construction: three layers of fabric bonded together for protection and comfort. 'Printable' indicates it's suitable for customization like embroidery or heat transfers, and 'Softshell' highlights its flexible, comfortable, and weather-resistant properties.

Yes, the product information states that this jacket is also available in Women's sizes, though this specific guide focuses on the men's version.

ATL (Advanced Textile Laminates) is a durable water repellent finish applied to the fabric's outer surface. It causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the fabric dry and maintain its breathability.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.

Ensure the inner lining is clean and free of detergent residue. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Check that the breathable membrane is not blocked by dirt or contaminants.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if necessary.

The pockets are designed for water resistance, not full waterproofing. For items that must remain completely dry, use a waterproof inner bag or pouch.
