Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Octagon II Softshell Jacket in Classic Red is designed for adult males seeking a smart, compact, and weatherproof outerwear option. Its key benefit is providing agility and protection against adverse weather through its natural stretch and three-layer membrane. A potential caveat is that its primary focus is on softshell performance, not heavy-duty waterproofing like a hardshell. Key features include wind resistance, water repellency, breathability, and practical storage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This softshell jacket is ideal for cool, windy, and moderately wet conditions. It offers good wind resistance and water repellency for light showers.

Is this jacket completely waterproof?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish and a breathable membrane, making it resistant to light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket (hardshell) would be more appropriate.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, close zippers before washing. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Do not dry clean.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the softshell material offers some warmth, especially with the fleece-backed interior. For very cold weather, layering with a fleece or insulated jacket underneath is recommended.

Does the jacket have a hood?

The product description does not mention a hood. This model features zipped lower pockets and a chest pocket, with an adjustable hem.

What material is the jacket made of?

It is made from warm-backed woven Softshell XPT waterproof and breathable material with a 3-layer membrane.

Is this jacket available in other colors or for women?

Yes, the product information indicates that this jacket is also available in Women's sizes and in other colours such as Blue, Grey, and Black.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.

The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy downpours, consider an additional waterproof outer layer. Ensure zippers are fully closed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Jacket loses its water-repellent properties.

Re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment suitable for softshell fabrics after washing, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels too tight for layering.

Consider purchasing a size up if you intend to wear thick layers underneath. The natural stretch provides some flexibility, but layering requires adequate space.
