Regatta 'Connie V' Softshell Walking Jacket - Green

No, the Connie V Softshell jacket is water-repellent, designed for light rain. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, an additional waterproof outer layer is recommended.

It is ideal for active pursuits such as hill trekking, walking, and other outdoor activities where flexibility and protection from wind and light rain are needed.

As a midlayer, it provides warmth. On its own, it is best suited for cooler, rather than extremely cold, conditions. For colder weather, layer it over a warmer base layer or under a thicker jacket.

Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron or dry clean.

Softshell refers to a fabric that is breathable, water-resistant, and wind-resistant, offering more comfort and flexibility than traditional hardshell waterproofs. It's designed for movement and variable conditions.

The color is described as Green. While efforts are made to represent colors accurately, shades can vary slightly due to screen settings and lighting conditions.

The stretch fabric provides enhanced freedom of movement, allowing you to perform physical activities like trekking or reaching without feeling restricted by your clothing.

Over time, the water-repellent finish can diminish. Consider using a specialized re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for softshell or outdoor clothing to restore its effectiveness. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the jacket is new, wear it for a short period to allow the stretch fabric to adapt. If it remains restrictive, consider if it is being used with bulky underlayers that might be reducing your range of motion.

Check the specific area. Minor loose threads can often be carefully trimmed with scissors. For significant seam issues, consult a local tailor or repair service.
