Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Carisbrooke Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking a versatile outerwear piece for everyday wear and outdoor activities in mixed weather conditions. Its key benefit is providing protection against wind and light rain while remaining breathable. A potential caveat is that it is water-repellent, not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may penetrate. This jacket features a softshell XPT construction with a honeycomb backing, a durable water-repellent finish, a detachable hood, and adjustable sleeves, all in a flattering longline design.

Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

How should I dry the jacket?

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment spray suitable for outdoor apparel.

Hood attachment is difficult.

Ensure the hood and jacket attachment points are clean and free of debris. Align the fasteners carefully before attempting to attach or detach the hood.

Jacket feels damp inside during activity.

This could be due to excessive perspiration rather than water penetration. Ensure the jacket is zipped up adequately to allow the breathability features to function optimally. If it persists, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.

Zipper is sticking.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth if needed.

  • Longline design offers extended coverage and a fashionable look.
  • Adjustable sleeves ensure a customized fit.

Cons

  • Water-repellent finish may not suffice in prolonged heavy rain.
