Regatta Soft Shell Jacket - Black/Black - Size 14

The jacket is waterproof, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged downpours or heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof hardshell jacket might offer superior protection.

Softshell jackets, like this Regatta model, prioritize comfort, stretch, and breathability, offering good water and wind resistance. Hardshell jackets are designed for maximum waterproofing and windproofing, often at the expense of breathability and comfort during less intense activities.

Refer to the size guide provided in the product description. For this jacket, a UK size 14 typically corresponds to a bust measurement of 38 inches.

The jacket provides wind resistance and some insulation. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating garments like a fleece or down jacket.

This specific model features a standing collar and does not include a hood.

The jacket has 2 side zip pockets and 1 chest zip pocket. These are typically sized to accommodate most standard smartphones securely.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.

Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. If the issue persists, the breathable membrane might be saturated; allow the jacket to dry completely. For high-exertion activities, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zip is dry, a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant can help it run smoothly. Ensure the inner zip guard is not interfering.
