Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional Soft Shell Jacket in Grey, size S, is designed for adults seeking a versatile outerwear solution for changeable weather. Its key benefit is providing windproof and showerproof protection without sacrificing breathability. A potential caveat is that while showerproof, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may not be ideal. It features a 2-layer construction with brushed back fabric for comfort, a full zip fastening, and multiple pockets for convenience.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the 2-layer softshell construction?

The 2-layer softshell construction provides a balance of windproof protection, shower resistance, and breathability, making it comfortable for active use in variable weather conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is showerproof, meaning it can withstand light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours using a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain its water-repellent finish.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to the brushed back fabric. For colder conditions, it is best layered over a fleece or thermal mid-layer.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The outer materials are 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane. The fabric is a softshell with a brushed back finish.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket features two front pockets and two chest pockets, all of which have zip fastenings for secure storage.

Does the jacket have reflective elements?

Yes, the jacket includes reflective detail to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer showerproof

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or catching

Gently try to move the zipper. If it continues to catch, apply a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the jacket is clean. Residue from detergents or dirt can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions, and consider using a technical wash product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides effective wind and shower protection for outdoor activities.
  • The stretch fabric allows for excellent freedom of movement.
  • Comfortable brushed back lining enhances warmth and feel.
  • Multiple secure zippered pockets offer convenient storage.
  • Designed with practical features like a chin guard and reflective details.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof; may not withstand prolonged heavy rain.
  • As a softshell, it may be less durable than a heavy-duty shell in rough conditions.
  • Requires specific care to maintain its water-repellent properties.
  • Limited insulation, best suited for mild to cool weather or layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult wear and designed for a range of activities. It layers well over base layers or light fleeces for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment periodically, following the product's instructions. This is particularly recommended after several washes or if water is no longer beading on the surface.
