Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking protection from wind and light rain during outdoor activities or everyday wear. Its key benefit is offering water-repellency and breathability in a flattering longline fit. A potential caveat is its suitability for heavy downpours, as it's primarily water-repellent rather than waterproof. Key features include a durable water-repellent finish, a detachable hood, and adjustable sleeves for versatile protection.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and spray. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C using a non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

Can I wear a fleece jacket underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate layering. Wearing a fleece or other insulating layer underneath will provide additional warmth in colder weather.

What is the breathability rating, and what does it mean?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours. This means that 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, indicating good breathability for comfort during activity.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and features drawcord adjusters for a customizable fit.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% polyester softshell with a honeycomb backing, weighing 200gsm.

Can the sleeve width be adjusted?

Yes, the jacket features snap fasteners on the sleeves, allowing you to adjust the cuff width for a more secure or comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency has decreased.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics. Follow the product instructions for application.

Jacket feels clammy during activity.

This can occur if the breathability is being exceeded or if the fabric is soiled. Ensure the jacket is clean. For very intense activity, consider a more technical, highly breathable garment. Ensure layers underneath are also breathable.

Hood detachment mechanism is difficult.

Check for any debris caught in the zip or snap fasteners. Gently try to work the mechanism back and forth. If persistent, contact the retailer for assistance.

Jacket is not providing enough warmth.

This softshell jacket is designed for moderate temperatures and wind protection. For colder weather, wear insulating layers such as fleece or down jackets underneath. This jacket functions best as an outer shell in milder conditions or as a mid-layer in colder conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Offers good protection against wind and light rain.
Highly breathable, preventing overheating during physical activity.
Versatile with a detachable and adjustable hood.
Comfortable softshell material with a soft backing.
Stylish longline design suitable for various occasions.
Adjustable sleeves allow for a personalized fit.

Cons

Not fully waterproof; may not withstand heavy or prolonged rain.
Softshell material may be less durable than hardshell alternatives against abrasion.
The DWR finish may degrade over time with washing and wear.
The snap fasteners on sleeves might be less secure than Velcro for some users.
Primarily designed for moderate weather conditions, may not be warm enough for extreme cold without layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure the hood is attached or detached as needed using the provided fasteners, and adjust sleeves and hood drawcords for a comfortable fit.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women. While the material is 100% polyester, it is intended for use in cool to mild weather. For colder temperatures, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended. It is compatible with standard outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, and general daily wear.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C (check garment label) using a non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the DWR finish and fabric integrity.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, re-apply a suitable DWR treatment periodically, especially after significant washing or wear. Follow the product instructions for the chosen re-proofing agent.
