Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Arec III Jacket is an ideal choice for active men who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for changeable outdoor conditions. It excels as a versatile softshell, offering a blend of wind resistance and water-repellent protection while maintaining high mobility thanks to its stretch-woven construction. While perfect for active pursuits, it is important to note that this is a softshell garment, meaning it is designed for light showers and breezy weather rather than sustained heavy downpours or extreme alpine storms.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light showers well, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy, sustained rain.

Can I wear this in winter?

It is excellent for active winter use as a layering piece, but it lacks the thermal insulation required for static activities in freezing temperatures.

How should I wash my Arec III jacket?

Machine wash on a cool setting using technical detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Does the hood adjust?

The jacket features a integrated hood designed to sit snugly to provide protection against the wind.

Is the fabric noisy when moving?

No, the softshell material is designed to be quiet and flexible, avoiding the rustling sounds of traditional rain jackets.

Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?

Yes, the two zippered pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and keys.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The water-repellent coating may need reactivating. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on a low setting or apply a spray-on DWR treatment.

Zip feels stiff or sticks during use

Check for fabric caught in the teeth. If the zip is clear, wipe the teeth with a dry cloth or use a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Arec III, keep these care instructions in mind:

  1. Layering: Wear as a mid-layer under a heavy waterproof shell during winter, or as an outer layer during high-exertion activities in moderate temperatures.
  2. Washing: Use a gentle cycle with a technical fabric detergent to preserve the water-repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores and reduce breathability.
  3. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If the water-repellent performance wanes, a short tumble dry on low heat can often help reactivate the DWR coating.
  4. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing while damp to prevent mildew or fabric degradation.
