Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Hydroforce Softshell Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable, wind-resistant, and waterproof outer layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing protection from the elements without compromising breathability. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, it may not be suitable for prolonged heavy downpours. Key features include 100% softshell Nylon construction, a wind-resistant membrane, a polyester mesh lining, and multiple zipped pockets for secure storage.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and a basic layer of warmth from its softshell fabric and mesh lining. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers.

How do I know which size to order?

Please refer to the sizing guide in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. For example, size M corresponds to a chest size of approximately 40 inches.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

It is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically, especially after several washes or when you notice a decrease in water repellency, to maintain its performance.

What does 'waterproof and breathable' mean in this context?

It means the jacket has a membrane that prevents water from penetrating from the outside while allowing perspiration vapor from the inside to escape, helping to keep you dry and comfortable.

What are the ripstop shoulder panels for?

The textured ripstop shoulder panels are designed to provide extra durability and protection against abrasion, particularly useful if you frequently carry a backpack.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency has decreased.

Clean the jacket according to the care instructions and then apply a suitable fabric re-proofer to restore the DWR finish.

Jacket feels clammy during activity.

Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, which can restrict breathability. Also, check that any inner layers are also breathable.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Allow to dry and then apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent wind resistance for comfort in breezy conditions.
  • Waterproof and breathable membrane keeps you dry from both external moisture and internal sweat.
  • Durable construction with ripstop shoulder panels for longevity.
  • Multiple secure zipped pockets for carrying essentials.
  • Adjustable fit features enhance comfort and protection.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for prolonged, heavy rainfall due to its softshell nature.
  • The mesh lining might not offer sufficient insulation in extreme cold without layering.
  • Care instructions regarding the DWR finish need to be followed to maintain water repellency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size based on the provided sizing guide (S: 38" chest, M: 40" chest, L: 42" chest, XL: 44" chest, 2XL: 47" chest, 3XL: 50" chest).

Compatibility: Suitable for adult males for outdoor activities, hiking, casual wear, and work environments where weather protection is needed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not dry clean.
  4. Re-proofing: To maintain the water repellency, periodically re-proof the jacket using a specific fabric re-proofer, following the product's instructions. This is crucial after several washes.
