Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional work jacket is designed for women seeking comfortable, protective, and flexible workwear. Its key benefit is the 4-way stretch softshell fabric that allows unrestricted movement while offering water-repellent properties. A potential consideration is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. Key features include a grown-on hood with adjusters, multiple zipped pockets for secure storage, and reflective details for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. It is also made using recycled materials.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, meaning it can repel water and is suitable for light rain or damp conditions, but it is not fully waterproof.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for various work activities that require flexibility and protection from light moisture, such as construction, warehousing, outdoor maintenance, or general operational roles.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners during washing and consider re-applying a DWR treatment after several washes, following the product instructions.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This softshell jacket provides a good outer layer for moderate temperatures or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. For extreme cold, layering with additional warm garments is recommended.

What does '4-way stretch' mean for the wearer?

4-way stretch means the fabric can stretch in both width and length directions, allowing for maximum freedom of movement and comfort during physically demanding tasks.

Are the recycled materials used in the main fabric?

Yes, the description states the jacket is 'Made using recycled materials', indicating sustainable sourcing in its construction.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The 4-way stretch is designed for freedom of movement, so a properly fitting jacket should not feel restrictive.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof outer layer may be needed. The DWR treatment may also need refreshing over time.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reflective details appear damaged

Avoid harsh cleaning methods or excessive abrasion on reflective areas. If damage occurs, the reflective properties may be compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch.
  • Water-repellent finish offers protection against light moisture.
  • Secure storage with multiple zipped pockets.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective detailing.
  • Comfortable and durable softshell material.
  • Sustainable design incorporating recycled materials.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof, may not withstand heavy rain.
  • Hood adjusters might be less robust than a detachable hood.
  • Softshell can be less breathable than some other materials during high exertion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup; it is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed as workwear, this jacket is compatible with other standard work attire such as t-shirts, base layers, and work trousers. It is suitable for adult female wearers.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (1 years' degree wash). Use a mild detergent.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not over-dry.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron.
  5. Professional Cleaning: Do not dry clean.

Follow these steps carefully to preserve the fabric's properties, especially the water-repellent finish and stretch capabilities. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impede the DWR treatment.
