Regatta Professional Venturer 3 Layer Hooded Softshell Jacket - Navy

The Venturer Jacket features a warm-backed woven softshell and is wind resistant, providing good insulation and protection. For extreme cold conditions, it is highly recommended to wear appropriate insulating layers underneath to maximize warmth and comfort.

Yes, the hood is designed to be detachable, allowing you to easily zip it on or off to customize the jacket's configuration based on weather conditions or your personal preference.

It is an ideal choice for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, and various professional tasks where you need reliable protection from wind, rain, and cold without compromising mobility. Its professional aesthetic also makes it suitable for work environments.

Machine wash the jacket cold on a gentle cycle using a mild, technical detergent. Crucially, avoid using fabric softeners and bleach. For drying, either tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry away from direct heat. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

The jacket features a 'waterproof and breathable 3 layer membrane fabric', providing a high level of protection against rain, combined with a water-repellent outer finish. While highly resistant and effective for most rain, 'waterproof' for softshells typically means it handles rain very well, but may not be designed for prolonged immersion or extreme pressure like a specialized hardshell.

Yes, the outer fabric of this jacket is specifically described as 'fully printable', making it an excellent option for customization with logos, branding, or other designs suitable for professional teams or personal use.

The jacket includes zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket. While the overall jacket provides waterproof protection due to its membrane, the zippers themselves might not be entirely watertight in extreme, prolonged heavy rain. For highly sensitive items like electronics, it's advisable to use additional waterproof pouches inside the pockets during severe weather.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric can wear off with use and washing. To restore it, machine wash the jacket as per care instructions, then apply a DWR restoring spray or wash-in product specifically designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before application for best results.

First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper is stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a beeswax-based product or a silicone spray) directly to the zipper teeth. Work the zipper back and forth several times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

While the jacket is breathable, very high exertion levels or extreme humidity can sometimes overwhelm any breathable membrane. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your body (avoiding cotton, which traps moisture). You may also need to adjust your activity level or open any available ventilation points if present (though this jacket does not specify vents beyond the main zip).
