FAQs
Is the Regatta Andel III jacket waterproof?
No, it features a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it will effectively shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy, prolonged downpours.
What type of insulation is used in this jacket?
The jacket uses medium-weight feather-free premium synthetic down insulation. This provides warmth without using animal products and performs well even when damp.
Can I remove the hood?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is an integrated part of the jacket and cannot be detached.
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports or very cold weather?
While it provides good warmth for cool-to-cold conditions, it's a lightweight jacket. For very cold winter sports or extreme temperatures, we recommend layering it over warmer garments or choosing a heavier-duty winter coat.
How should I clean my Regatta Andel III jacket?
Always check the care label inside the jacket for precise instructions. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent, then tumble dry on low or air dry flat.
Are there any internal pockets?
The product description specifies 'zipped pockets' (plural), which typically refers to external pockets. Info needed: The presence of internal pockets is not detailed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem warm enough for the conditions.
The jacket is designed for medium-weight insulation. For colder conditions, consider layering effectively underneath with thermal base layers or mid-layers. Ensure the hood and waist adjusters are snug to prevent heat loss.
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be revitalized. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, and then consider applying a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product suitable for outdoor apparel.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Periodically clean zippers of any dirt or debris. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) to the zipper teeth and work the slider back and forth.

This jacket requires no complex 'setup'; simply put it on and adjust the hood as needed. It's designed for seamless integration into your wardrobe, compatible with various base layers for personalized warmth. For optimal performance, wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer in cooler weather or over a sweater for added insulation. The lightweight design also makes it suitable for layering under a heavier, waterproof shell for severe weather conditions.
Care Instructions
To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside the jacket for detailed washing instructions. Generally, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish.
- Drying: Info needed: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls (if recommended by label) to help restore loft, or air dry flat away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore its repellency using a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain the loft of the synthetic insulation.
