Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Professional 2 Layer Soft Shell Jacket in Blue, size XXL, is designed for adults seeking durable, weather-resistant outerwear for active or work environments. Its key benefit is providing windproof and showerproof protection with enhanced stretch for comfort and mobility. A potential caveat is that while showerproof, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may lead to saturation. Key features include a 2-layer construction, brushed back fabric for warmth, zippered pockets for secure storage, and reflective details for visibility.

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is described as showerproof, meaning it can withstand light rain or drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What is the brushed back fabric for?

The brushed back fabric is the soft inner lining of the jacket. It provides a comfortable feel against the skin and helps to trap a layer of air, offering a degree of insulation and warmth.

How many pockets does this jacket have?

The jacket features a total of four zippered pockets: two on the front and two on the chest, offering secure storage for personal items.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket offers wind protection and some warmth due to its brushed back lining. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to wear it as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

How should I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colours, using a mild detergent. Ensure zippers are closed before washing. Do not bleach, iron on a high setting, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat.

Are there reflective elements on the jacket?

Yes, the jacket includes reflective detail to enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

What does '2 Layer construction' mean?

A 2-layer construction typically means the fabric has an outer shell and an inner lining, often with a membrane in between for weather protection. In this case, the outer layer is softshell, and the inner is brushed back fabric.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels damp inside

This is likely due to perspiration or significant moisture ingress. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and that the conditions are within its showerproof limits. Allow the jacket to air dry thoroughly.

Fabric feels less water-repellent

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics after washing and drying.

Jacket is too tight for layering

While designed for a comfortable fit, if you intend to layer with very bulky items, consider if a larger size would be more appropriate for your needs. This XXL is designed for a standard fit with potential for base layers.
