Regatta Connie V Softshell Walking Jacket - Purple

The Connie V jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain and moisture for a period. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection during prolonged or heavy downpours.

You should machine wash the jacket at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid using fabric softener, bleach, or dry cleaning.

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice a significant decrease in water repellency, typically after several washes or extended use. Following the specific product instructions for your chosen re-proofing agent is key.

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers such as fleece or down jackets.

The Connie V jacket is made from polyester, a durable and versatile synthetic material.

The product description does not specify a hood. Please refer to product imagery or detailed specifications if a hood is a required feature.

Wash the jacket following the care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Apply a specific re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for softshell fabrics and reactivate the finish, usually by tumble drying on a low heat.

This can sometimes happen if too much detergent is used or if fabric softener was accidentally included. Ensure thorough rinsing and try the tumble dry method on low heat, which often helps to soften the fabric.

Check the zipper for any fabric snags. Gently try to pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) or a silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
