Regatta Professional RG108 Darby III Jacket – Branded Waterproof Workwear

The Regatta Professional RG108 Darby III Jacket is a practical insulated outer layer designed to keep employees protected from cold, wind and wet weather while maintaining a smart, professional appearance.

Built using waterproof Hydrafort 5000 peached polyester fabric, the Darby III combines waterproof protection with taped seams, windproof fabric and Thermo-Guard insulation to provide dependable protection when working outdoors in colder conditions.

With its concealed hood, adjustable cuffs, handwarmer pockets and multiple secure storage options, the Darby III is particularly well suited to construction, trades, facilities, transport, logistics, property and other outdoor working environments.

It is also designed with a concealed zip entrance in the lining to make professional company logo embroidery easier.

Why Choose the Regatta Darby III?

Waterproof Hydrafort 5000 Fabric

The Darby III uses Hydrafort 5000 peached polyester fabric, providing waterproof protection for employees working in wet conditions.

The jacket also features taped seams, helping reduce water penetration through the stitched areas of the garment.

This makes the Darby III a practical choice for businesses that need more weather protection than a standard softshell can provide.

Windproof Protection

The outer fabric is designed to provide windproof protection, making the jacket suitable for exposed outdoor environments.

For employees working on sites, travelling between locations or spending significant time outside, protection from both wind and rain can make a substantial difference to comfort during the working day.

Thermo-Guard Insulation

The Darby III features Thermo-Guard insulation with 160gsm body insulation wadding.

This provides additional warmth for colder conditions without requiring the bulk of a very heavy winter coat.

The combination of insulation and waterproof outer fabric makes the Darby III a useful all-round winter work jacket.

Concealed Hood

The jacket includes a concealed hood with adjusters, allowing additional protection when the weather deteriorates.

Keeping the hood concealed when it isn't required also helps maintain the jacket's clean, professional appearance.

Adjustable Cuffs

Adjustable cuffs allow the wearer to create a closer fit around the wrists, helping reduce exposure to cold air and improving comfort in windy or wet conditions.

Practical Storage for Working Teams

The Darby III has been designed with practical workwear use in mind.

It includes:

• Two lower pockets with zipped handwarmers

• Two lower cargo pockets

• Mobile phone pocket

• Zipped chest pocket

• Inner security pocket

This combination gives employees several options for keeping essential items close at hand while working.

The zipped handwarmer pockets are particularly useful during colder weather.

Ideal for Branded Company Workwear

The Darby III has a clean professional appearance that works particularly well as part of a branded company uniform.

The jacket features a concealed zip entrance in the lining for embroidery access, making it suitable for adding a company logo while maintaining the finished appearance of the garment.

For most businesses, we recommend left-chest embroidery for a professional and durable result.

Darby III vs a Softshell Jacket

If you're choosing between the Darby III and a softshell jacket, the main consideration should be how your team will actually use the garment.

A softshell such as the Russell J140M can be a good choice where flexibility, everyday wear and a lighter outer layer are important.

The Darby III is more focused on waterproof protection, insulation and cold-weather use.

For employees who regularly work outside in winter, particularly in wet and exposed conditions, the Darby III provides a different type of protection from a lightweight softshell.

Darby III vs a Longer Winter Parka

The Darby III can also be compared with a longer jacket such as the Regatta Dover Parka.

The Darby III provides a more conventional jacket length with practical cargo storage, making it particularly useful for active outdoor workers.

The Dover Parka provides longer coverage and is better suited to situations where additional lower-body coverage is important.

The right choice depends on the working environment rather than simply choosing the most substantial jacket.

Build a Complete Branded Winter Uniform

The Darby III can form the outer layer of a complete company uniform.

For example:

Darby III Jacket + Branded Polo + Fleece + Work Trousers

This allows employees to layer their clothing according to changing temperatures while maintaining a consistent company appearance.

For outdoor teams, a layering system can also provide greater flexibility throughout the year than relying on a single heavy garment.

Care Instructions

To help maintain the jacket and its waterproof properties:

• Machine wash as directed on the garment care label

• Wash dark colours separately

• Do not bleach

• Do not tumble dry

• Do not iron

• Do not dry clean

• Close all fasteners before washing

• Do not store the jacket while damp

Following the manufacturer's care instructions will help maintain the garment's performance and appearance over time.
