It means the fabric prevents external water from entering while allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside, keeping you dry from both rain and perspiration.
Refer to the Regatta Womens sizing chart provided. Measure your bust circumference and compare it to the chart. For this specific product, size 10 UK corresponds to a bust of approximately 34 inches (86cm).
The jacket offers waterproof protection and has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket with taped seams might be preferable.
The softshell fabric provides some insulation, and the wind-resistant feature helps retain warmth. For colder conditions, layering a warm mid-layer (like fleece) underneath is recommended.
Softshell XPT is designed to be lightweight, water-repellent, breathable, and wind-resistant. It offers good abrasion resistance for general outdoor use but is not as robust as heavy-duty technical fabrics.
The shockcord hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket, creating a closer fit. This helps to prevent wind from entering the jacket from below and keeps warm air trapped inside.
The frequency depends on usage and washing. You should reapply the DWR treatment when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface. Typically, this might be after several washes or significant wear.
Re-apply a suitable durable water repellent (DWR) finish according to the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little soapy water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed to maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Reduce activity level if possible, or consider removing a layer underneath if overheating.
Ensure you have rinsed the jacket thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners. Air dry the jacket and do not iron.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women. Refer to the sizing guide for specific measurements.
