FAQs

What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?

Softshell XPT is a fabric technology developed by Regatta. It refers to a lightweight, water-repellent, breathable, and wind-resistant membrane fabric designed for outdoor apparel.

How waterproof is this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours and features a wind-resistant membrane and a durable water repellent finish, making it suitable for protection against moderate rain and wind.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket is designed for cool, wet, and windy conditions. For very cold temperatures, layering with a warm mid-layer or thermal base layer is recommended.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the Regatta Womens sizing guide provided in the product details. Measure your bust circumference and compare it to the listed approximate measurements (e.g., Size 16 corresponds to approximately 40in/102cm bust).

Is this jacket suitable for very active sports?

The jacket's breathable and wind-resistant properties make it suitable for many active pursuits. However, for high-intensity activities where maximum breathability is critical, lighter, more specialized gear might be preferred.

How should I care for the DWR finish?

To maintain the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Zippers feel stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper track. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the inner fabric is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability. Wash according to care instructions. Check that vents (if any) are not blocked.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Ensure the jacket has not been damaged (e.g., torn). For minor seam issues, specialized seam sealant may be applied. Extensive seam damage may require professional repair or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and wind resistance for protection in harsh weather.
  • High breathability rating ensures comfort during physical activity.
  • Durable water repellent finish adds an extra layer of weather protection.
  • Multiple zipped pockets offer secure storage for essentials.
  • Adjustable hem and shaped fit provide customizable comfort and a flattering look.

Cons

  • The sizing is specific to Regatta Womens sizing, which may require careful measurement.
  • While breathable, it may not be suitable for extreme heat.
  • Primarily designed for moderate to cool weather conditions.
  • Material is 100% Polyester, which might not appeal to those seeking natural fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure the jacket is zipped up completely and the hem is adjusted to your preference before heading out.

Compatibility: While designed for general outdoor use, it pairs well with other outdoor apparel like base layers and mid-layers for added warmth in colder temperatures. It is compatible with Regatta's sizing guide for women.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F). Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.
