Full details
The Regatta Arec III Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a versatile and comfortable softshell jacket. Its primary benefit is providing a good balance of weather resistance and breathability for everyday wear and light outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that it may not offer the robust waterproofing of a dedicated rain jacket. Key features include a softshell construction for flexibility, a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, and a comfortable polyester and elastane blend.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Arec III Jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from a blend of 97% Polyester and 3% Elastane, providing stretch and comfort.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and best suited for mild or transitional weather. For colder conditions, it can be effectively layered over warmer mid-layers such as fleece or sweaters.
How do I wash the jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with similar colors and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does 'softshell' mean in this context?
Softshell refers to a fabric that is flexible, breathable, and offers some degree of wind and water resistance. It's designed for comfort and mobility during active pursuits.
What sizes are available?
This specific product listing is for size XXL. Other sizes and colors may be available under different product listings from Regatta.
Can I iron the jacket?
No, ironing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and any treatments like the DWR finish.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after light rain.
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, consider a dedicated waterproof jacket. Ensure the DWR treatment is still effective; reapply if necessary.
Reduced water repellency.
The DWR treatment may have worn off over time. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product instructions.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for a comfortable fit, allowing for layering. Check the size guide provided by Regatta.
Color fading after washing.
Wash with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
