Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Reid Softshell Jacket in XXXL Grey is designed for adult males seeking versatile outerwear for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth and protection against wind and light rain due to its warm-backed woven stretch softshell fabric and durable water repellent finish. A potential caveat is that it is lightweight, making it best suited for mild conditions rather than heavy downpours or extreme cold.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Regatta Reid Softshell Jacket is water-resistant due to its Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, meaning it can shed light rain but is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

What is the best temperature range for this jacket?

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions, typically between 10°C and 18°C (50°F - 65°F). It can be layered for colder temperatures.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Please refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. The measurements for this XXXL jacket are approximately a 50-inch chest to fit (ins).

Can I wear a sweater underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be lightweight and comfortable for layering. You can wear a thin to medium-weight sweater or fleece underneath for added warmth.

How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Typically, reapplying a DWR treatment every 6-12 months or when you notice water no longer beads up effectively is recommended.

Are the pockets insulated?

The product description does not specify insulation for the pockets. They are standard zipped pockets for secure storage.

What is the difference between water-resistant and waterproof?

Water-resistant means the fabric can repel water to a certain extent, like light rain. Waterproof means the fabric is impermeable to water, even under prolonged exposure or pressure.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it is still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oily substances that could stain the fabric.

Water repellent finish seems less effective

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then consider applying a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any re-proofer.

Jacket feels less windproof than expected

Ensure the hem shockcord is fully tightened to seal out drafts. Check that all zippers are fully closed. For significantly windy conditions, this softshell may require layering with a more robust windproof outer shell.

Material feels sticky or has lost its softness

This could be due to improper washing or drying. Avoid high heat when washing or drying. Try re-washing with a mild detergent and air drying. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the fabric's performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance for comfort in breezy conditions.
  • Durable water repellent finish offers protection from light showers.
  • Lightweight and flexible for ease of movement.
  • Quick-drying fabric is practical for variable weather.
  • Secure zipped pockets for storage of small items.
  • Adjustable hem for a customized fit and enhanced warmth.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth in very cold temperatures.
  • Durable water repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing.
  • Not fully waterproof, so not suitable for heavy rain.
  • Limited pocket options (only two lower pockets).
  • Sizing may vary; refer to size guide for accurate fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Reid Softshell Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for men and is suitable for a wide range of adult activities. It layers well over t-shirts or lighter base layers and can be worn under a heavier waterproof jacket in more extreme conditions.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) using a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Ironing: Do not iron. The fabric's properties are best maintained without direct heat.
  4. DWR Maintenance: To maintain the water repellent finish, consider using a specific DWR re-proofer after several washes, following the product's instructions.
