Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Professional Octagon II Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males needing a smart, agile, and weatherproof outer layer for work. Its key benefit is providing robust protection against wind and rain while remaining highly breathable and comfortable. A potential consideration is that it's a specialized workwear item, so its style might be more functional than casual. It features a waterproof and breathable three-layer membrane, a wind-resistant finish, and convenient pockets.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
The Octagon II Softshell is designed for wind and water resistance with breathability. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over a warm base layer and an insulating mid-layer for optimal warmth.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash at 40°C using a technical garment detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Reapply a DWR finish periodically if water is no longer beading off.
What does '3 Layer Membrane' mean?
It refers to the construction of the fabric, which includes an outer protective layer, a waterproof and breathable membrane in the middle, and an inner lining for comfort and durability. This enhances the jacket's overall performance in various weather conditions.
Can this jacket be printed on for branding?
The product description mentions 'Printable Softshell', indicating it is designed to be suitable for custom printing or branding applications.
What is the benefit of the adjustable shockcord hem?
The adjustable hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket to seal out wind and retain warmth, preventing drafts and improving insulation, especially in adverse weather.
Are there other colors and sizes available?
Yes, this model is available in a variety of colors and sizes, including women's specific fits. Please check the product listing or manufacturer's range for other options.
What is the difference between 'waterproof' and 'water repellent'?
Water repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration to a certain degree (like water beading off). Waterproof means the fabric is designed to prevent water from passing through it entirely, typically using a membrane, like the one in this jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels wet on the inside
This could be due to the breathable membrane being blocked. Ensure you are using a technical wash and avoiding fabric softeners. Check that the DWR finish is still effective; if not, consider a re-proofer. Ensure the ventilation (if any) is open.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical softshell fabrics. Ensure seams are not damaged.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the area around the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth if needed.
Jacket seems too cool in very cold weather
This softshell is designed for weather resistance and breathability, not heavy insulation. Layer with a warm base layer and/or an insulating mid-layer for colder conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply wear it.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of your jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (a moderate temperature).
- Bleaching: Do not bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
