Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid women's bodywarmer is designed for adult women seeking versatile, packable outerwear. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight warmth and water-repellency, making it ideal for transitional weather or layering. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may penetrate. This gilet features a durable polyamide body with Warmloft down-touch insulation and Extol Stretch panels for enhanced mobility, along with practical zip pockets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of insulation does the Andreson Hybrid gilet use?

It uses Warmloft down-touch insulation, which is designed to mimic the warmth and compressibility of down while being synthetic.

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The gilet provides lightweight warmth and is excellent for layering. For extreme cold, it would be best used as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to standard UK sizing charts for women's outerwear. The specific product is a UK size 12. Ensure you check measurements against Regatta's official sizing guide if unsure.

Can I wear this gilet in the rain?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. It is not waterproof, so it is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall.

What activities is this gilet best suited for?

It is ideal for everyday wear, light hiking, walking, travel, and as a layering piece in transitional weather conditions due to its warmth, packability, and freedom of movement.

How do I clean the gilet to maintain its features?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to restore insulation loft.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels less warm after washing.

Ensure the gilet is completely dry and has been tumble dried on low heat, as this helps to restore the loft of the Warmloft insulation. Consider using a re-proofing treatment if the water-repellency has diminished.

Water is soaking through the fabric in rain.

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, not a waterproof coating. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. You may need to re-apply a water-repellent treatment to refresh the fabric's performance.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zip. You can lubricate it with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of bar soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. There is no assembly or setup required.

Compatibility: The Regatta Andreson Hybrid gilet is designed as women's outerwear. It can be layered over various clothing items such as t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, or light sweaters. It pairs well with jeans, hiking trousers, or activewear.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the insulation and water-repellent treatment.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. It may be beneficial to add a couple of tennis balls to help re-fluff the insulation.
Re-proofing: To maintain the water-repellent finish, consider using a specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment after several washes, following the product's instructions.
