Regatta Gravitator (2012)

£65.00

One of the lightest tops out there and good for warmer conditions, with thin fabric and great stretch. A lack of membrane technology, coupled with the relatively open fabric weave, creates great levels of breathability, although at the expense of some windproofing. If the weather turns very cold or windy, you may need to slip a shell over the top. ...

Regatta Baxter (2012)

£30.00

This is a lighter-weight fleece than many out there, using a thinner grade of material that also makes it one of the least expensive too. The downside is a lack of insulation. This really only provides warmth as part of a layering system. It is designed to zip into a corresponding shell jacket. A drawcord around the hem helps to ...

Regatta Airbrake

£56.00

The Airbrake doesn’t immediately feel like a standard soft shell, with a face fabric that, although plenty stretchy enough, has a hardness to it and is quite noisy when you move. The shiny surface did give it a little extra waterproofing, at least for the test duration over a few damp, misty mornings, and it also makes it a little ...

Regatta Boundary

£65.00

The Boundary has a really soft fabric, with a great feel that’s more akin to a sweater than a jacket, albeit with a decent amount of stretch. The DWR coating does shed rain, although anything more than the lighter showers we tested it in and we suspect the seams will leak first. Warmth levels are decent with fleece backing providing ...

Regatta Base Zip-neck base layer

£16.00

A very thick and warm base-layer that can feel itchy when you’re hot and sweaty. It has a nice close-fitting design, with plenty of stretch in the fabric, although it tends to become saggy with wear. The zip-neck collar provides great ventilation when needed, but check you can zip it up properly as the collar is tighter fitting than some. ...

Regatta Seistan

£75.00

More waterproof than soft shell and as a waterproof it performs quite well, with a three-layer membrane fabric, taped seams and a very good, adjustable hood. As a soft shell, though, it fails to provide any real insulation, and is nothing like as breathable as some. It’s very adjustable with Velcro cuffs and a drawcord hem, and the hood is ...

REGATTA X-ERT PERFORMANCE BASE ZIP-NECK

£16.00

Review: The fabric is soft and has enough stretch to make movement easy. Lovely snug collar, too. As a base-layer it feels soft and warm and copes well with moisture, and it looked good on its own, too. Some odour retention, but not too bad.

Regatta Sonar

£65.00

Comfortable with excellent adjustment at the hem and, more importantly, the cuffs. Soft against the skin with plenty of stretch where it’s needed. The waterproof/windproof membrane and taped seams mean it sacrifices breathability for weather resistance. Nice pockets, though, and looks good. Makes a better outer layer.

Regatta Sonar 2008

£60.00

This soft shell jacket  is a low price for what you get; available in sizes S-XXXL; woven stretch soft shell fabric is waterproof and breathable; Isotex 5000 membrane drop liner; large map pocket; insulated lining; stretchy fabric. But this jacket is short, has no hood and is heavy at 916g; the outer soaks up water more than a dedicated waterproof; ...

Regatta Epicentre

£45.00

A good fit in the body and sleeves, but the stiff-ish collar is a little too high, especially when unzipped. The cuffs are too tight to pull up, but a warm and very weatherproof jacket… at the expense of breathability, which is definitely noticeable when walking uphill at speed. Would like a bit more ‘give’ in the fabric, too.

Regatta Farley

£15.00

The zip-necked Farley is a good length, but the sleeves are too tight, with no give in the fabric. Good high, snug collar, though. Difficult to wear as a mid-layer as the sleeves are too tight to go over anything else. Good warmth as a base-layer, though, and it dried quickly when wet. A decent-length zip, too.Verdict A lightweight, budget-end ...

Regatta Invent

£35.00

This windproof fleece from Regatta is a good fit, with just the right amount of room in the arms and body. The high collar is nice, but the cuffs are loose and the lining feels a bit scratchy against the skin. Performs remarkably well for the price. Not as warm and wind-resistant as some, so not suited to really cold ...

Regatta Odette II

£40.00

This midweight fleece from Regatta is wonderfully comfortable and an excellent fit. However, the hem is slightly short, making it less suitable for year-round use than it could be. The deep handwarmer pockets are great and the inside pockets will easily house a map.   Colours: Zing/vapor, black/vapor, flush/vapor, starfish/vapor, ice cream/vapor, minto/vaporSizes: 8-20Fabric: Polartec Classic 200Men’s version: Discovery IIIContact: ...

Regatta Guyot

£45.00

This soft shell jacket from Regatta is an excellent fit in the body, but the sleeves are frustratingly short – a shame as they have Velcro adjustment and would work well. The fleecy inner feels wonderful, more cosy than most. It’s notably less breathable than the more expensive fabrics, though. The pockets are quite small, but do offer some venting, ...

Regatta Invent

£40.00

This windproof fleece would score quite well were it not for the ridiculously baggy cuffs, which are really annoying as well as inefficient. A good fit in the body, with a snug high collar. The fabric is also easy to move in. Really light and compact, it keeps the wind off well and packs down easily. The baggy cuffs let ...
