Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Arana Waterproof Soft Shell Jacket is an ideal choice for active adults seeking a balance of weather protection and comfort during outdoor pursuits. Featuring advanced XPT fabric technology, this jacket keeps you dry and shielded from the wind while allowing for excellent breathability during high-energy activities. While it provides robust protection against moderate elements, users should note that as a soft-shell garment, it may not offer the same absolute waterproof barrier as a heavy-duty hardshell in extreme, sustained downpours.

Is the size range inclusive?

Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish may have worn off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zipper sticking or feeling stiff
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or dirt and apply a light lubricant like graphite if necessary.
Jacket feels less breathable than usual
Ensure the exterior is clean, as dirt and oil buildup can block the microscopic pores of the breathable membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket naturally to preserve the integrity of the fabric and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: If water begins to soak into the surface rather than beading off, you may need to reapply a water-repellent treatment to the exterior.
