Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult women who need a versatile, lightweight outer layer for changeable weather conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of water-repellent and wind-resistant protection with a flexible, stretch-enhanced fit that doesn't restrict movement during active use. While it provides excellent protection against light wind and rain, it is intended as a softshell layer and may not provide full waterproof protection in heavy, sustained downpours.

Is this machine washable?

Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.
The zip feels stiff or catches
Clean any debris out of the zip teeth using a soft brush and ensure the fabric around the zip is clear before pulling.
The hood feels loose in high wind
The hood is designed for coverage, but if it shifts, ensure the collar is zipped up fully to secure the base of the hood against your neck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta jacket remains effective, proper care is essential. Always consult the care label inside the garment before washing. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish of the fabric. To maintain the jacket's weather protection, you may periodically reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after several washes. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent moisture buildup and fold it neatly or hang it in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
