Full details
This Regatta Professional 2 Layer Soft Shell Jacket in Black, size L, is designed for adults seeking versatile protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing windproof and showerproof performance with stretch comfort, suitable for active work or leisure. A potential caveat is its focus on outer protection, with thermal insulation not being its primary feature. The jacket offers a durable woven fabric with a brushed back for comfort, a full zip fastening, elasticated cuffs and hem, and multiple zippered pockets for secure storage.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is described as 'showerproof,' meaning it is designed to withstand light rain or drizzle. It may not provide full protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from an outer material of 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, featuring a woven fabric with a brushed back.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket has a total of four pockets: two front pockets and two chest pockets, all of which are secured with zippers.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket provides windproof and showerproof protection, making it suitable for layering. For cold weather, additional thermal layers underneath would be recommended.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Based on the description, the jacket has a standing collar and does not mention a hood.
What does '2 Layer' refer to in the product name?
'2 Layer' typically refers to the construction of the fabric, where an outer shell is bonded to a protective backing (in this case, the brushed back), often with a membrane in between for weather protection. It focuses on the fabric construction rather than implying two separate garments.
What sustainability standards does Regatta Professional adhere to?
Regatta Professional adheres to the Ethical Trading Initiative, GRS Certification (Global Recycled Standard), and REACH compliance.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Jacket loses water repellency
Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. After washing and drying, apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
Elasticated cuffs/hem feel stretched out
This is usually due to wear and tear. While not fully repairable at home, ensure proper care by avoiding excessive stretching and washing correctly.
Reflective details are peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying, and do not iron directly on the reflective details. If minor peeling occurs, a fabric-safe adhesive might provide a temporary fix, but significant damage may require professional repair or replacement.
