Regatta Malana Softshell - Beige

No, the Malana Softshell is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. It can handle light rain or showers, but for prolonged or heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

It is ideal for active outdoor pursuits such as hiking, walking, climbing, and general everyday wear in mild to cool weather conditions. Its stretch and freedom of movement make it particularly good for activities requiring dynamic motion.

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleaching, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity and performance.

Active Stretch refers to the fabric's ability to stretch in multiple directions, providing enhanced comfort and flexibility. This allows for a greater range of movement during physical activity.

The jacket is designed to be relatively streamlined. While you can wear a thin to medium-weight base layer or a light fleece, very bulky layers might restrict movement due to the jacket's fit and stretch binding.

The underarm gussets are specifically designed to improve the range of motion in the arms, allowing for unrestricted movement such as reaching overhead or climbing without the jacket's sleeves riding up.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The underarm gussets are designed for maximum movement, so significant restriction may indicate an improper fit.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Ensure the zippers are fully closed. The pockets are designed for secure storage of smaller items. For very valuable items, consider an additional internal pocket or secure pouch.

The Malana is a softshell designed for moderate conditions or as a mid-layer. For colder weather, add an insulating layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, underneath.
