Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Soft Shell Jacket is designed for women seeking a versatile outerwear piece for everyday wear and light outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing durable, water-repellent, and wind-resistant protection in a comfortable, flexible fabric. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not offer full waterproofing in heavy downpours. Key features include a grown-on hood, stretch binding at the cuffs and hem, two zipped lower pockets, and an adjustable shockcord hem for a customized fit.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is primarily made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, offering a balance of durability, stretch, and comfort.

How do I determine my correct size?

Please refer to the sizing chart provided in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section, which lists chest measurements in inches for UK sizes.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This softshell jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth, making it suitable for cool to mild weather. For very cold conditions, layering with additional insulating garments underneath is recommended.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours, do not bleach, tumble dry on low or line dry, and do not iron or dry clean. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.

Does the hood have an adjustment cord?

The hood features stretch binding for a snug fit but does not have a separate adjustment cord. The hem, however, has an adjustable shockcord.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a specific DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels a bit stiff after washing.

Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can degrade the DWR finish. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
