Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking versatile protection against wind and light rain during outdoor activities or everyday wear. Its key benefit is offering a balance of water repellency, breathability, and a flattering longline fit. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, making it best suited for mixed or light rain conditions rather than heavy downpours. Key features include a durable water-repellent finish, a breathable softshell construction, a detachable hood, and adjustable sleeves for a customizable fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth due to its softshell construction. For very cold weather, layering with additional insulating garments underneath is recommended.

What is the breathability rating of the fabric?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features drawcord adjusters that allow you to tighten or loosen it for a secure fit. It can also be detached completely if not needed.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for outdoor walks, light hiking, everyday wear, and activities in mixed or light rainy weather where wind protection and water repellency are beneficial.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Softshell XPT bonded with a honeycomb backing, weighing 200gsm.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics.

Hood is difficult to detach/attach

Ensure the fasteners are clean and dry. Gently align the hood with the jacket attachment points and press firmly until they click into place or detach.

Sleeve snaps are loose

Check if the snaps are clean. If they are damaged or persistently loose, contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

The fabric may have accumulated dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a mild detergent, and ensure it is thoroughly rinsed. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede breathability.
