Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Hydroforce Softshell Jacket is designed for active men seeking reliable outerwear for varied conditions. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant protection with a comfortable mesh lining. A potential caveat is that while durable, it's primarily a softshell and may not provide extreme insulation for sub-zero temperatures. The jacket features a 3-layer membrane fabric, a durable water-repellent finish, and adjustable elements for a customized fit, making it suitable for outdoor work and leisure.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a waterproof and breathable membrane with a DWR finish, offering good protection against moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, consider a dedicated waterproof shell garment.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The softshell fabric provides some insulation, and the wind resistance is beneficial in cooler conditions. For very cold weather, layering with a warm mid-layer such as a fleece or insulated jacket is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or line dry.

What does '3-layer membrane fabric' mean?

It means the fabric construction consists of three distinct layers bonded together: an outer protective layer, a waterproof and breathable membrane in the middle, and an inner lining for comfort and moisture management.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood can be adjusted using the drawcord located around the hood opening. Tighten or loosen the cord to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped for security and to offer a degree of protection from light moisture, but they are not fully waterproof. Avoid storing sensitive electronic devices in pockets during heavy rain.

How often should I re-apply waterproofing treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's generally recommended to re-proof the garment when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed.

Jacket feels clammy or overheated.

While breathable, intense activity can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure the main zipper is partially open for ventilation or consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath. Check that the inner mesh lining is not obstructed.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Allow to dry completely. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

Hood is not staying in place.

Adjust the drawcord adjuster on the hood to secure a tighter fit around the face. Ensure the hood is correctly folded out from its storage position.
