FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Carisbrooke jacket is best for mild to moderately changeable weather, offering protection against wind and light rain. It is water-repellent and breathable.
Can the hood be removed?
Yes, the hood is detachable and can be removed if not needed.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on low or line dry.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, suitable for light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?
Softshell XPT refers to a type of performance softshell fabric developed by Regatta, designed to be water-repellent, breathable, and wind-resistant, often with a backing for added comfort.
How can I restore the water repellency?
After washing according to the care label, you can use a wash-in or spray-on re-proofer designed for outdoor apparel to restore and enhance the water-repellent properties.
What are the sleeve adjustments for?
The snap fasteners on the sleeves allow you to adjust the fit, helping to seal out drafts and ensure a comfortable wear.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable re-proofer. Ensure no fabric conditioner was used during washing, as this can impede water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully ease the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Hood adjustment issues
Ensure the drawcords are not tangled. Check that the hood is properly attached if it has been detached and re-secured.
