Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hydroforce Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant performance, ensuring comfort in varied weather conditions. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it is designed with a breathable membrane, so extreme prolonged submersion may exceed its capabilities. This jacket features a 3-layer membrane fabric, a durable water repellent finish, and a polyester mesh lining, making it a versatile choice for active lifestyles.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy downpours?

The jacket is waterproof and breathable, designed for general outdoor use in varied weather. For extreme, prolonged downpours, additional waterproof gear might be recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

What is the purpose of the ripstop shoulder panels?

The textured ripstop shoulder panels are designed for increased durability and resistance to abrasion in areas that experience high wear, such as when carrying a backpack.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and a basic layer of insulation. For colder conditions, layering with a fleece or insulated mid-layer is recommended.

How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?

Periodically clean the jacket using a technical wash and re-apply a DWR treatment. Avoid detergents with fabric softeners, as they can degrade the finish.

What material is the lining made of?

The jacket features a polyester mesh lining for comfort and breathability.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped for secure storage. While they offer protection from light splashes, they are not designed to be fully waterproof for submersion.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

The breathable membrane might be clogged. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and detergent residue. Wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.

Jacket is not windproof.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the adjustable cuffs and hem are tightened. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for active use.
  • Effective wind resistance keeps out the chill.
  • Durable construction with ripstop shoulder panels.
  • Multiple secure pockets for essential items.
  • Adjustable features ensure a comfortable, secure fit.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for prolonged submersion in heavy rain.
  • The mesh lining might not offer extreme warmth for very cold conditions without layering.
  • Specific care is required to maintain the water-repellent finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, the sizing is based on standard apparel measurements. It can be worn over base layers or mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: To maintain the water repellency, use a specific technical wash and re-proofer periodically, following the product instructions. This helps to restore the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
