Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Professional Ablaze Softshell Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, high-performance outer layer for transitioning through autumn and winter. Its primary benefit lies in its dual-layer, wind-resistant construction that balances warmth with high breathability and natural movement. While it offers excellent protection against the elements, potential buyers should note that it is a specialized technical garment best suited for active layering rather than heavy-duty, extreme-weather mountaineering.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The Ablaze jacket features a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish and wind-resistant membrane, making it highly weather-resistant, but it is not categorized as fully waterproof for heavy storm conditions.

Can I use a commercial heat press on this jacket?

Yes, the fabric is specifically designed to be printable using screen, transfer, or vinyl printing methods.

Does the jacket provide enough warmth for winter?

It is designed with a warm-backed woven lining that offers good thermal protection. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is best used as part of a layering system.

How should I choose the right size?

The jacket follows standard sizing. Use a measuring tape to determine your chest size and refer to the provided size chart to ensure the best fit for your build.

Is the material noisy when moving?

No, the softshell material is designed to be quiet and flexible, unlike traditional stiff waterproof shells.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Use a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent properties.

Print or logo is peeling after washing

Ensure the garment is turned inside out before washing to prevent friction against the print. Always check the heat settings used during the initial application process.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly breathable for active use
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to stretch material
  • Wind-resistant technology keeps you warm in changing weather
  • Versatile design suitable for professional branding

Cons

  • Not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours
  • Polyester material may require specific low-heat care
  • Limited to black colorway in this specific configuration

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the DWR finish and the integrity of the fabric, please observe the following care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at a low temperature with a gentle cycle. Avoid using strong detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If tumble drying is necessary, use a very low heat setting.
  3. Branding: If applying vinyl or transfers, ensure the heat press settings are compatible with softshell polyester to avoid melting the membrane.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging it in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent material degradation.
