Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Arec III Softshell Jacket is designed for adult women seeking protection during outdoor activities. Its primary benefit is its water-repellent and wind-resistant nature, ensuring comfort on blustery days. A minor consideration is that it's built for movement, which might mean a slightly more relaxed fit for those prioritizing a very snug feel. Key features include a grown-on hood for added coverage and an adjustable hem to seal out the elements, all constructed from durable polyester.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Arec III Softshell Jacket is water-repellent, making it suitable for light rain and drizzle. For heavy or prolonged rainfall, it is recommended to use a fully waterproof jacket.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleaching and dry cleaning. Do not iron.
Can I put the jacket in the dryer?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low setting. Alternatively, it can be hung to dry.
What kind of temperatures is this jacket best for?
This softshell jacket is best suited for mild to cool temperatures. It provides good wind resistance and some warmth, making it ideal for transitional weather or as a layering piece in colder conditions.
What does 'built for movement' mean for the fit?
'Built for movement' indicates that the jacket uses flexible materials and has a design that allows for a greater range of motion. This may result in a slightly less fitted appearance compared to a purely fashion-oriented jacket, prioritizing comfort and activity.
How do I adjust the hem?
The jacket features an adjustable hem, typically with a drawcord. You can pull the cord to tighten the hem around your waist, helping to seal out drafts and customize the fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure the adjustable hem is loosened and check if the size is appropriate. The jacket is designed for movement, but if it feels too constricting, consider sizing up or trying a different model.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended. Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt can affect water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently pull any obstruction away. You can lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
