FAQs

What does '2 Layer Construction' mean?

A 2-layer construction typically involves an outer shell fabric and a separate inner lining. For this softshell, it often means the fabric itself is engineered with two functional layers laminated together, providing weather resistance and comfort without a bulky separate liner.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is described as 'Showerproof', meaning it is designed to protect against light to moderate rain for a limited time. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the reflective details?

Reflective details should be treated gently. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaning materials. Follow the general care instructions, and they should maintain their integrity.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

As a softshell, this jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath, such as a fleece or thermal base layer.

What are the sustainability credentials?

The product is committed to the Ethical Trading Initiative, is GRS Certified, REACH compliant, and utilizes sustainable materials, indicating a focus on responsible manufacturing.

What is the purpose of the 'access for ventilation' feature?

This feature likely refers to underarm zippers or other openings designed to be opened to increase airflow and regulate body temperature during strenuous activity.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to standard sizing charts for the Regatta Professional brand. The jacket is designed for an adult unisex fit. Ensure chest and sleeve measurements are accurate for best results.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.

Water is penetrating the fabric

The showerproof treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.

Jacket feels less breathable than expected

Ensure ventilation access points are open if applicable. Check for any internal blockages or heavy layering underneath that might impede airflow.

Elasticated cuffs/hem losing elasticity

This is typically due to wear and tear. Ensure proper care instructions are followed to prolong the life of the elastic.
