FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the Regatta Arec III Softshell Jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
No, the care instructions specify that this jacket is hand wash only. Machine washing may damage the fabric or its water-repellent properties.
What is the best way to dry the jacket?
You should hang the jacket to air dry. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the material and affect its performance.
Can men and women wear this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a unisex fit, making it suitable for both men and women.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water-repellent finish, clean the jacket according to the care instructions and consider using a re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor fabrics periodically.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is made from synthetic materials, primarily polyester, which contributes to its softshell properties.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish may fade over time. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for softshell or outdoor fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before applying any treatment.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's snagging on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Jacket feels restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. This softshell is designed to be a midlayer; if worn over too many thick layers, it may feel tight. The stretch fabric should provide ample room for movement.
