Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional 2 Layer Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking durable, weather-resistant outerwear. Its key benefit is providing wind and water repellency, making it ideal for outdoor work or activities. A potential caveat is that while water repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may still penetrate.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. For best results and to maintain water repellency, use a wash-in water repellent treatment periodically.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides some warmth due to its fleece lining and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer layer over warmer insulating garments like fleeces or down jackets.

What does '2 Layer' construction mean?

A '2 Layer' construction typically refers to the fabric's composition, where an outer protective layer is bonded to a breathable inner layer. This provides a balance of weather resistance and comfort.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a toggle adjuster, usually located at the back or sides. Pulling the toggle will tighten the hood around your head, providing a more secure fit and better protection from wind and rain.

What materials are used in this jacket?

The jacket is made primarily of polyester with a contrast fleece lining. The fabric technology includes softshell and stretch properties, making it water repellent and wind resistant.

Does this jacket have internal pockets?

This jacket features external zippered pockets: two side pockets and one chest pocket. It does not explicitly list internal pockets in its description.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively.

The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Use a wash-in water repellent product designed for outdoor clothing and follow the product instructions carefully. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth for smoother operation.

Fleece lining feels matted after washing.

Avoid high heat during tumble drying, as this can damage the fleece. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Brushing the fleece gently can help restore its texture.

Seams feel unusually cold in windy conditions.

While the jacket is wind-resistant, the seams can be potential points for wind penetration. Ensure any underlayers are properly covering the torso and arms. For very windy conditions, consider an additional windproof layer.
