FAQs

What does 'XPT' stand for in Softshell XPT fabric?

XPT typically stands for 'eXtra Performance Technology,' indicating enhanced features like breathability and waterproofing.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to its 3-layer construction and mesh lining. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating mid-layers is recommended.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for the Hydroforce jacket. Measure your chest and waist according to the chart's instructions and select the corresponding size. For this XL model, the chest size is typically around 44 inches.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C. Follow the specific care instructions provided, including washing inside out and closing all fasteners.

What is the purpose of the ripstop shoulder panels?

The textured ripstop shoulder panels are designed to provide increased durability and resistance to abrasion in areas that often experience wear from backpacks or equipment.

How often should I re-apply the water repellent finish?

The need to re-apply the DWR finish depends on usage and washing frequency. If water no longer beads up and rolls off the surface, it's time to re-apply.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading off the fabric surface.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following product instructions.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside.

Ensure the garment is clean; dirt and oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions. Check that ventilation zippers (if present on other models) are open.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth.
