No, the Regatta Arec III Softshell Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and showers. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and will not offer protection in heavy downpours.
It's designed as a versatile midlayer for outdoor activities like trekking, hill walking, and general countryside wear. It provides wind resistance and water repellency for comfort in changeable weather.
The jacket provides insulation as a midlayer. For cold weather, it's best worn over a warm base layer and potentially under a more insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for women's apparel, typically available on the retailer's website. Measurements for chest, waist, and hip are usually provided.
The jacket is made from Polyester, which offers durability and quick-drying properties.
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Reapplying a water-repellent finish may be necessary over time.
The jacket features a grown-on hood, which provides coverage but may have limited adjustability compared to detachable or fully adjustable hoods.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider using a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
As a softshell, it is wind-resistant but not windproof. For extremely windy conditions, consider layering a windproof or waterproof shell over the Arec III.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to clear any obstructions. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help improve smoothness.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility: Designed as a women's adult garment, it pairs well with various outdoor trousers, base layers, and T-shirts. It can be worn as an outer layer in mild weather or as a mid-layer under a waterproof jacket for increased warmth and protection.
