Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Defender III 3-in-1 jacket is a versatile outerwear solution engineered for the unpredictable British climate. Designed to provide comprehensive protection throughout the year, this garment features a detachable system that allows the wearer to adapt to changing weather conditions. The outer shell is constructed from Hydrafort 5000 peached polyester, offering a soft-touch finish without compromising on weather resistance. When the temperature drops, the interior fleece provides essential warmth, while the ability to separate the layers ensures comfort during transitional seasons.
Key Features
- Waterproof Hydrafort 5000 Fabric: The outer shell is both waterproof and windproof, providing a reliable barrier against the elements to keep you dry and comfortable during outdoor shifts.
- 3-in-1 Versatility: A detachable internal fleece can be worn on its own or zipped into the outer shell, offering three distinct configurations for varying environments.
- Taped Seams: Every seam is meticulously taped to prevent water ingress, ensuring the integrity of the garment's waterproof capabilities in heavy rain.
- Concealed Hood: The adjustable hood can be tucked away when not in use, providing a cleaner aesthetic while remaining ready for sudden downpours.
- Embroidery Access Zip: A concealed zip entrance in the lining allows for easy access during the branding process, ensuring a clean finish for your company logo.
- Secure Storage: Both the outer jacket and the inner fleece feature two zipped lower pockets, providing secure space for essential tools and personal items.
Design & Performance
This jacket is built for durability and comfort in demanding work environments. The outer shell uses a peached polyester finish, which offers a superior, brushed texture compared to standard technical fabrics. The mesh-lined body enhances breathability, preventing the clammy sensation often associated with waterproof outerwear. The inner component is a 220 series Symmetry fleece, which is specifically treated with an anti-pill finish. This ensures the fleece maintains a professional, smooth appearance even after extensive wear and repeated washing. The jacket is a sturdy, substantial garment that offers a robust feel without being overly restrictive.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Defender III is an excellent candidate for corporate branding. For a sophisticated and durable finish, we recommend embroidery. The dedicated access zip allows our team to embroider your logo directly onto the outer shell without piercing the inner lining, maintaining the garment's aesthetic. Embroidery is particularly suited for chest logos and staff names, providing a long-lasting, professional appearance.
Alternatively, for larger and more vibrant designs on the back of the jacket, high-quality printing is available. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision and care. Whether you choose the texture of embroidery or the boldness of print, this jacket serves as a premium canvas for your business identity.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideal for professionals who spend significant time outdoors or move between different environments. It is a staple for site supervisors, surveyors, and delivery personnel who require adaptable clothing. Its professional appearance also makes it suitable for corporate events or as a unified team uniform for staff who represent your business in the field.

Practical Advice
The Defender III is designed with a standard fit to allow for layering. If you intend to wear heavy knitwear or multiple layers beneath the fleece, you may wish to consider the size guide carefully to ensure a comfortable range of motion. The adjustable shockcord hem and hook-and-loop cuffs allow you to customise the fit further, helping to trap heat and block out wind. Sizing is available from S up to 3XL, catering to a wide range of team requirements.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of your 3-in-1 jacket, it is essential to follow the specific care instructions for both components. For the outer shell, use a delicate wash cycle. Avoid the use of bleach, as this will degrade the Hydrafort waterproof coating and damage the fabric's integrity. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean the outer jacket; heat and chemical solvents can melt the waterproof membrane and the taped seams, rendering the jacket no longer waterproof.
The inner fleece should be washed using a cool machine cycle with pure soap flakes to maintain the softness of the anti-pill Symmetry fabric. As with the outer layer, avoid bleaching, tumble drying, or ironing, as high heat can cause the fleece fibres to lose their insulating properties and texture. Always ensure all fasteners are closed before washing to prevent snagging. Finally, never store your jacket while it is damp, as this can lead to the growth of mildew and permanent damage to the fabric.
