Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Soft Shell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a blend of weather protection and comfort for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing wind resistance and water repellency without sacrificing breathability. A potential consideration is that while waterproof, it may not be suitable for prolonged heavy downpours. The jacket features a DWR finish, a detachable hood, and multiple zip pockets, making it a practical choice for changeable conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This jacket features a DWR finish and is described as waterproof, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating and taped seams might be more appropriate.

How do I find the right size?

Please refer to the size guide provided in the product description. It lists UK dress sizes and corresponding bust measurements (in inches) to help you select the best fit.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance, which helps in cooler conditions. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer garments like fleeces or thermal base layers.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and also features a drawstring for adjustment.

What is the DWR finish?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a special coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in wet conditions.

Can I iron this jacket?

It is generally not recommended to iron softshell jackets, as high heat can damage the fabric and its technical coatings. If creases are an issue, a very low tumble dry might help, or you can try hanging it in a steamy bathroom.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a damp cloth. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions (without fabric softener) and then apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment for water-repellent fabrics. Ensure you follow the re-proofer's application instructions carefully.

Jacket feels less windproof than before

The fabric may require re-proofing. Over time, the natural oils from the skin and environmental factors can reduce the fabric's ability to repel wind and water. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment.

Hood is not staying in place

Ensure the drawstring is properly tightened. If the hood is detachable, check that it is securely fastened to the jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effective wind protection for cooler conditions.
  • Water repellent finish provides good defense against light rain.
  • Breathable material ensures comfort during physical activity.
  • Versatile design with a detachable and adjustable hood.
  • Ample secure storage with three zip pockets.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for heavy or prolonged rainfall.
  • As with many softshells, it can be less durable than heavy-duty waterproofs against abrasion.
  • Limited insulation for very cold temperatures; layering may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup upon purchase. Ensure all zippers are functioning correctly before use.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for adult women and is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. Its sizing is based on UK dress sizes. Refer to the size guide for accurate fitting.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as this can affect the DWR finish and fabric performance.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, consider using a re-proofing spray specifically designed for outdoor technical apparel after several washes, following the product's instructions.
