Regatta Connie V Softshell Walking Jacket - Blue

The Connie V Softshell Jacket is designed as a water-repellent and wind-resistant layer. For very cold weather, it is best used as a midlayer, combined with a warm insulating layer underneath and potentially a waterproof outer shell.

To maintain the water-repellent finish, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach when washing. You can reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.

Yes, the stretch fabric and active fit make it suitable for activities like running, especially in mild to cool conditions where wind and light rain protection are beneficial. Its breathability is moderate.

Softshell fabric offers a balance of stretch, breathability, wind resistance, and water repellency. It provides greater freedom of movement compared to traditional hardshell jackets.

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colours. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

The product description does not specify a hood. Please refer to the product images or full product listing for details on specific features like a hood.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The jacket is designed for an active fit; consider wearing thinner base layers for less bulk.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider using a reproofing spray suitable for softshell fabrics after washing, following the product's instructions.

This jacket provides wind resistance, not complete windproofing. For extremely windy conditions, layer it under a more robust windproof or waterproof outer shell.
