Regatta’s Arec III sits in the brand’s everyday outdoor range, the sort of softshell that competes with entry level jackets from Trespass and Mountain Warehouse. It’s built for changeable UK weather when you want something lighter and more flexible than a padded coat, but still more protective than a fleece. The wind resistant outer helps take the edge off blustery walks, while the warm backed lining adds a bit of insulation without feeling bulky. As a softshell, it’s also geared towards movement, so it suits commuting, dog walks and low level hikes where comfort matters as much as weather protection.
Who is this for?
If you spend time outdoors in cool, breezy conditions and prefer a jacket that layers well, this is the right style. It’s less suited to prolonged heavy rain, where a proper waterproof shell will do more.
- Wind resistant fabric for exposed paths and open countryside
