FAQs

Is the Regatta Professional Venturer jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the jacket features a Warm backed woven Softshell XPT waterproof and breathable 3 layer membrane fabric, along with an ATL durable water repellent finish, providing reliable waterproof protection.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?

The jacket has a warm-backed fabric and is wind-resistant, making it suitable for cooler conditions. For very cold winter weather, it is recommended to wear appropriate base and mid-layers underneath for optimal warmth.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the jacket features a detachable hood with a shockcord adjustment system for personalized fit and versatility.

Can I customize this jacket with a company logo?

Absolutely. The jacket is designed to be ideal for screen, transfer, and vinyl printing, making it perfect for company branding or team uniforms.

How do I properly clean the jacket to maintain its features?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water using a technical wash for waterproof fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Reapply DWR treatment as needed when water no longer beads on the surface.

What material is the jacket made from?

The Regatta Professional Venturer jacket is made from 100% Polyester with a 3-layer Softshell XPT membrane.

What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?

Softshell XPT is a Regatta Professional fabric technology that refers to a high-performance 3-layer membrane fabric designed to be waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant, offering excellent protection and comfort in active outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.

This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket following care instructions and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate. If this doesn't work, consider applying a dedicated DWR spray or wash-in product.

Jacket feels stiff or less breathable after washing.

Ensure you are using a technical wash for waterproof breathable fabrics or a very mild liquid detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Thoroughly rinse the jacket, potentially running an extra rinse cycle, to remove all detergent residue.

Zippers are catching or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm, soapy water. Once dry, apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) sparingly to the teeth to improve smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Adjustments

The Venturer jacket requires minimal 'setup'. Upon first wear, adjust the shockcord system on the hood to achieve a snug fit around your face. The adjustable cuffs should be tightened or loosened to your preference, creating a seal against the elements or allowing for more airflow.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for versatility and can be comfortably worn over various base and mid-layers.

Layering: Pair it with thermal base layers and fleece mid-layers for increased warmth in colder conditions.
Footwear: Its professional and outdoor aesthetic makes it compatible with work boots, hiking shoes, or casual trainers.
Accessories: It pairs well with beanies, gloves, and scarves for additional warmth.

Care Instructions

Proper care helps maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, extending its lifespan.

Preparation: Before washing, close all zippers and fasten all cuffs. If the hood is detachable, consider removing it or ensuring all adjustments are loose.
Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold or lukewarm water (refer to the jacket's care label for precise temperature). Use a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics, or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and harsh powdered detergents, as these can degrade the DWR finish and membrane.
Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue. An extra rinse cycle is often beneficial.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry the jacket away from direct sunlight. Low heat in a dryer can help reactivate the DWR finish. Avoid high heat, which can damage the membrane.
DWR Reapplication: Over time, the ATL DWR finish will wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Storage: Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated area.
