Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket - Green - L

No, the jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which protects against light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged rainfall.

The jacket uses Faux Down and Recycled filling, specifically Warmloft insulation, which is lightweight and designed to provide warmth even in damp conditions.

It provides good warmth for its weight and can be a great layering piece. For extremely cold conditions, it's recommended to layer it over additional thermal clothing and potentially under a heavier, waterproof outer shell.

Follow the machine wash instructions (gentle cycle, 30°C) and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach and ironing. Reapply DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

Extol Stretch refers to the fabric technology used in specific panels of the jacket that allows for greater flexibility and freedom of movement, enhancing comfort during active use.

The hood is a 'Grown On Hood' with stretch binding. While it offers a snug fit due to the binding, it does not have separate drawcords for adjustment.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly. Clean any debris from the teeth.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Check that the insulation is evenly distributed. Ensure the hood, cuffs, and hem are properly sealed to prevent heat loss. For extreme cold, consider layering with additional warm clothing.

Be mindful of rough surfaces when wearing the jacket to avoid snagging. Pilling can sometimes occur with synthetic fabrics; gentle care during washing and drying can minimize this.
