Regatta Professional Venturer 3 Layer Printable Hooded Softshell Jacket - Black

No, the jacket is "water repellent" and features a "waterproof and breathable 3 layer membrane fabric." This means it offers excellent protection against light rain and drizzles, but in heavy, prolonged downpours, water may eventually penetrate. For truly extreme wet conditions, a dedicated hardshell waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

A "3 layer" fabric construction typically refers to an outer fabric, a middle membrane (which provides the water repellency, breathability, and wind resistance), and an inner lining or backing, all laminated together. In this case, it's a warm-backed woven softshell XPT membrane fabric.

Yes, the jacket features a "fully printable outer fabric," making it ideal for corporate branding, team uniforms, or personalized designs.

Follow the specific washing instructions: cool machine wash with Regatta Isotex cleaner or pure soap. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Proper washing helps preserve the jacket's water repellent and breathable properties.

The jacket has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape, keeping you comfortable during active wear.

No, the jacket features a "detachable softshell fabric hood" with an adjustable shock cord, allowing you to remove it when not needed.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate inner layers that also wick moisture. Non-breathable base layers can trap sweat inside, making the jacket feel ineffective. Also, check if pocket zippers are fully closed, as open zippers can compromise weather protection.

This often happens with use and improper washing. Wash the jacket using Regatta Isotex cleaner or pure soap as directed. If the issue persists, consider treating the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofing spray designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.

Inspect zippers for any trapped fabric or debris and carefully remove it. If clean, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing stiff zippers.
