Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Arec III Jacket is an ideal outer layer for active men who need a versatile, lightweight softshell for hiking or daily commutes in unpredictable weather. It provides an excellent balance of wind resistance and water-repellent protection while maintaining high mobility; however, it is designed as a mid-to-outer layer and does not offer heavy-duty insulation for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain and showers, but it is not seam-sealed and will eventually soak through in heavy, sustained rain.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is a softshell layer, so it is effective for autumn, spring, or mild winter days. For extreme cold, you should layer a thermal fleece or puffer jacket underneath.
Does it have an adjustable hood?
The Arec III features a hooded neckline designed to fit close to the face to protect against wind and light elements.
How do I know if it fits correctly?
The jacket should allow for a base layer underneath without feeling restrictive. The stretch fabric should remain comfortable when you reach your arms forward.
Is the fabric noisy like some nylon jackets?
No, the stretch woven construction is relatively soft and quiet compared to traditional stiff, waterproof shells.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Apply a re-waterproofing treatment specifically for softshell fabrics.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the track. You can lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper wax or a small amount of graphite from a pencil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Arec III, follow standard synthetic garment care. Machine wash the jacket on a cool setting with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the technical fabric and reduce its wind-resistant and water-repellent performance. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area. If you notice the water-repellent finish beginning to fail over time, you can refresh the garment using a specialized spray-on technical wash-in re-proofer.
