FAQs
Is the Regatta Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket waterproof?
No, it features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to shed light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, we recommend wearing a waterproof outer shell.
How should I wash my jacket?
Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners and bleach, as these can damage the DWR finish and insulation.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
The jacket provides lightweight warmth, suitable for cool to mild winter days. For very cold or harsh winter conditions, it performs best as a mid-layer paired with a protective outer shell and appropriate base layers.
Is the jacket suitable for packing in a small bag?
Yes, one of its key features is its compressibility. It can be easily packed away into a small space, making it ideal for travel and adventures.
What type of insulation is used in this jacket?
It uses Warmloft down-touch, water-repellent insulation, which is a synthetic fill designed to provide warmth even when damp, similar to the feel of natural down.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with two zipped lower pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials.
Is the jacket made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the jacket is made with recycled content, including the Extol Stretch fabric, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough for the conditions.
Consider your layering. This jacket is best for cool to mild conditions or as a mid-layer. Add a warmer base layer or an additional outer shell for colder temperatures. Ensure the zip is fully closed and the hood, cuffs, and hem are snug to trap warmth.
Water beads up less, or the jacket wets out in light rain.
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, apply a DWR-restoring product (wash-in or spray-on) specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Dirt and oils can also reduce DWR effectiveness, so regular cleaning helps.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap and water. A graphite pencil rubbed along the teeth can also act as a lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper to prevent damage.
Jacket appears to have lost some loft (puffiness).
This can happen after washing or prolonged compression. To restore loft, tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up clumps of insulation and redistribute it evenly. Ensure the jacket is completely dry.

Care
Proper care will help maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
- Washing: Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Water Repellency Restoration: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can restore or enhance the water repellency by using a DWR-specific wash-in or spray-on treatment, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Its compressible nature allows for compact storage.
