Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Malana women's hiking jacket is designed for adult females seeking comfort and freedom of movement during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit lies in its active stretch fabric and underarm gussets, ensuring unrestricted mobility. A potential caveat is that it is primarily designed for active use and may not offer the same level of insulation as a dedicated winter coat. This softshell jacket features a plush terry backing for comfort, stretch binding at the cuffs to block elements, and zipped pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for mild to cool conditions, perfect for active use like hiking or walking. It offers wind resistance and comfort but is not waterproof and may require an additional layer for very cold weather.

How do the underarm gussets enhance performance?

The underarm gussets are panels of fabric sewn into the armpit area that allow for a greater range of motion. This means you can lift your arms freely without the jacket pulling or restricting your movement, which is crucial during activities like climbing or reaching.

Is the fabric waterproof?

No, the Regatta Malana jacket is a softshell, which means it offers good wind resistance and some level of water repellency, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell would be necessary.

Can I wear this jacket over a thick fleece?

While you can layer over a thin fleece, this jacket is designed with a plush terry backing for comfort and a snug fit for performance. Wearing it over a very thick mid-layer might restrict movement and alter the intended fit.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its stretch properties?

Follow the care label instructions: machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, and iron on a low setting. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impact the fabric's performance.

What does 'Reach Technology' refer to in the description?

'Reach Technology' refers to the design feature of the underarm gusset, which provides an enhanced range of movement and unrestricted arm lift.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the underarm gussets are not obstructed. This jacket is designed for active stretch, so some snugness is normal, but it should not impede movement.

Zippers are stiff

Gently work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fabric feels less soft after washing

Ensure you are using a low heat setting for tumble drying and ironing. Using fabric conditioner is generally not recommended for performance fabrics as it can degrade their properties. Follow the care instructions precisely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch fabric and gusset design.
  • Comfortable feel with plush terry backing.
  • Practical storage with two zipped pockets.
  • Keeps elements out with stretch binding on cuffs.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough as a standalone jacket in very cold conditions.
  • Primarily designed for active use, less suitable for casual wear if high insulation is needed.
  • Limited water resistance, as is typical for softshell jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and appearance:

  1. Machine wash at 30°C (low heat).
  2. Do not bleach.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
  4. Iron on a low heat setting.
  5. Do not dry clean.
