This Regatta Octagon II softshell jacket is designed for women seeking a smart, compact, and weatherproof outerwear solution. Its key benefit is offering a balance of protection against the elements with breathability and stretch for active use. A potential caveat is that its shaped fit may not suit all body types. Key features include a three-layer membrane for superior breathability, a waterproof and wind-resistant finish, and a comfortable, natural stretch.

Softshell XPT refers to Regatta's specific lightweight, water-repellent, breathable, and wind-resistant membrane fabric used in their softshell garments.
The jacket features a waterproof and wind-resistant finish with a 3-layer membrane, providing good protection against wet weather conditions. The breathability rating is 10,000g/m²/24 hours.
This softshell jacket provides a wind-resistant and waterproof outer layer. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down) to provide warmth.
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and do not use fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
The product description does not mention pit zips. Ventilation relies on the breathability of the Softshell XPT fabric and the main front zipper.
The jacket features 2 zipped lower pockets and 1 zipped chest pocket.
While waterproof, this jacket is best suited for moderate rain and wind. For extended periods in heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof jacket with higher hydrostatic head ratings might be more appropriate.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment using a specialized product designed for technical outdoor fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
This can happen if the jacket's breathability is compromised or if there is significant internal moisture build-up. Ensure the garment is clean and free of dirt or residues that might block the membrane. Check that the inner layers of clothing are also breathable.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a specific zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Avoid using wax-based products which can attract dirt.
Review the size guide carefully against your measurements. The jacket features a shaped fit designed for women, which may be more tailored. Ensure the hem shockcord is adjusted correctly for a secure fit.
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear and can be layered over various types of clothing. It is compatible with standard outdoor gear and accessories.
