Regatta Women's Connie V Softshell Walking Jacket - Purple

The Connie V softshell jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and mist. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours. For such conditions, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

Refer to the brand's sizing guide for the most accurate measurements. Consider your chest, waist, and hip measurements, and compare them to the provided chart. The jacket is designed for a sleek fit, so if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up.

The softshell material offers some warmth and wind resistance. For colder temperatures, it is best used as a mid-layer or paired with a warm insulating layer underneath. It may not be sufficient as a standalone jacket in freezing conditions.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Periodic application of a water-repellent treatment can help maintain its performance.

Softshell refers to a type of fabric that is typically stretchy, breathable, and offers a balance of water resistance and wind resistance. It prioritizes comfort and freedom of movement over the complete waterproofing of a hardshell jacket.

This guide specifically covers the purple variant. Please check the product listing for other available colors and sizes, as Regatta often offers their popular models in a range of options.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Consider applying a water-repellent spray or wash designed for softshell fabrics, following the product's guidelines.

Ensure you are not using fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting as this can help restore some softness.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help if it remains stiff.
