Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Professional Venturer 3 Layer Hooded Softshell Jacket is an excellent choice for individuals seeking reliable protection during outdoor activities in cooler, variable weather. It excels at combining water repellency, breathability, and wind resistance, making it highly effective for active use. While it offers robust weather protection, users should note that its primary function is water repellency rather than full waterproofing for prolonged, heavy downpours.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the Regatta Professional Venturer is water repellent and highly wind resistant. It is designed to handle light to moderate rain and keep you dry, but for prolonged heavy downpours, a fully waterproof hardshell jacket would be more appropriate.

How should I wash my Venturer Softshell Jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with a mild, technical fabric detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Close all zippers before washing. Air dry completely.

Can I remove the hood?

Yes, the jacket features a detachable hood, providing versatility for different weather conditions and personal preferences.

What is 'Warm-Backed Woven Softshell XPT'?

This refers to the fabric technology used. 'Warm-backed' means the inside of the fabric has a soft, warm lining for added comfort. 'Woven Softshell XPT' indicates a technical softshell fabric with enhanced performance characteristics for protection and breathability.

Are there internal pockets?

The jacket features two zipped lower pockets and one zipped chest pocket. There are no specific internal pockets mentioned in the product description.

Can I wear this jacket in cold winter weather?

The jacket provides warmth due to its warm-backed fabric and excellent wind resistance. For very cold winter weather, it's recommended to wear it over appropriate base and mid-layers to ensure adequate insulation.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels wet inside despite being water repellent.

This could be due to heavy rain exceeding the jacket's water repellency, or it could be internal condensation from sweat if you're very active. Ensure all zippers are fully closed. For internal dampness, consider reducing layers or pausing activity to allow moisture to escape.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. If still stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant or graphite to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Water no longer beads up on the fabric surface.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket following care instructions, then either tumble dry on low heat for a short period (if care label permits) to reactivate, or apply a dedicated DWR spray or wash-in treatment for outdoor gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Venturer Softshell Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply adjust the hood and cuffs to your preferred fit before heading outdoors.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed to be a versatile outer layer. It works well over a base layer for high-exertion activities or combined with a mid-layer (such as a fleece) for added warmth in colder conditions. Its design allows for comfortable layering without excessive bulk.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (around 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
  2. Detergent: Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can damage the water repellent finish and membrane.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry the jacket by hanging it in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
  4. Re-proofing: Over time, the water repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a spray-on or wash-in water repellent treatment specifically designed for outdoor technical fabrics.
  5. Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, dark place.
