Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Professional Octagon II 3 Layer Printable Softshell Jacket is designed for men who need a smart, agile, and protective outer layer for work. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant protection without bulk, ensuring freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that while it offers good protection, it may not be sufficient for extremely harsh weather conditions without additional layers. This jacket is crafted from a durable Polyester Softshell XPT fabric with a 3-layer membrane, featuring a warm backing, a wind-resistant membrane, and an ATL durable water repellent finish. It includes practical features like an inner zip guard, multiple zipped pockets, and an adjustable hem for a customized fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

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.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

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.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

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.

What does '3 Layer Printable Softshell' mean?

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.

Are there women's sizes available for this jacket?

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.

What is the ATL durable water repellent finish?

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.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the surface after washing.

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

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

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.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

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.

Pockets do not seem waterproof.

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

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for varied conditions.
  • Lightweight and non-bulky for enhanced agility.
  • Wind-resistant membrane adds an extra layer of protection.
  • Durable water repellent finish ensures longevity.
  • Practical pocket configuration for secure storage.
  • Adjustable hem allows for a personalized fit.

Cons

  • May require layering for extreme cold weather.
  • Printable surface might have specific care instructions for maintaining breathability.
  • Limited insulation on its own.
  • Specific to men's sizing, though women's versions exist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no complex setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are functional before use.

Compatibility:

  • Layering: Designed to be layered over base layers or lighter mid-layers for added warmth. It can also be worn over a t-shirt in milder conditions.
  • Printing: The 'Printable' designation suggests compatibility with certain customization techniques, such as embroidery or heat transfer. Always consult specific printing guidelines for the best results and to maintain fabric integrity.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (130°F). Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry. Avoid drying on radiators or direct heat sources.
  • Re-Waterproofing: For optimal performance, periodically re-apply a DWR treatment, especially if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product's specific instructions for re-application.
