Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Arana Waterproof Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for active adults seeking reliable protection during wet and windy outdoor conditions. Combining advanced XPT waterproof technology with a durable, stretch-woven fabric, this jacket offers an excellent balance of mobility and weather resistance. While it provides high-performance utility for hiking and general outdoor use, potential users should note that as a softshell garment, it is designed for breathability and flexibility rather than heavy-duty, prolonged exposure to extreme storms.

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

While it is wind-resistant and water-repellent, it is best suited for light to moderate rain. For extreme downpours, a dedicated waterproof hardshell may be more appropriate.

Does the hood adjust?

The jacket includes a hooded neckline designed to provide coverage, though specific adjustment features may vary.

What is XPT technology?

XPT is Regatta's proprietary technology designed to provide a balance of waterproof protection and wind resistance while maintaining high breathability.

Is the material stretchy?

Yes, the inclusion of 4% elastane gives the fabric a stretchable quality that aids in comfort and mobility.

Does it have an internal pocket?

It features a zipped chest pocket on the exterior for secure storage, along with two side pockets.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the outer fabric instead of beading.

The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or catches.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and wipe any dirt or debris from the teeth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and breathable design
  • Excellent wind resistance for coastal or mountain use
  • High level of freedom of movement due to elastane blend
  • Environmentally friendly recycled material composition
  • Highly adjustable fit at cuffs and hem

Cons

  • Not a fully seam-sealed heavy rain jacket
  • Softshell fabric can eventually saturate in sustained downpours
  • Requires periodic re-application of DWR finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your jacket functioning at its peak, ensure you adjust the drawcord hem and wrist straps whenever you face high winds to prevent draft ingress. For cleaning, machine wash on a cool setting with a gentle detergent. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip away the DWR coating. It is recommended to air dry the garment; if the water-repellency begins to fade, a specialized DWR re-proofer spray can be applied after cleaning to restore its performance.
