Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for active adult males seeking a blend of warmth, wind resistance, and sportiness without compromising mobility. Its key benefit is providing effective insulation through Warmloft technology that packs down small, making it ideal for variable trail conditions. A potential caveat is its durability for extremely rugged use, as the primary material is polyester. This jacket offers a grown-on hood and zipped pockets for practical outdoor protection, featuring a durable water-repellent finish on the body.

FAQs
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a high-performance synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and loft of down but retains its insulating properties even when damp. It is also highly compressible.
Is the jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which helps repel light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged downpours.
How do I wash the Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Do not bleach and use a non-biological washing agent. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for its weight and is wind-resistant, making it suitable for cool conditions. For extremely cold weather, it is best used as part of a layering system with warmer mid-layers or a heavier outer shell.
What does 'Hybrid' mean in the product name?
The 'Hybrid' likely refers to the combination of insulating panels (like the Warmloft) and potentially stretch or softer fabric panels in areas requiring more freedom of movement, offering a balance of warmth and agility.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid fabric softeners during washing and consider using a DWR re-treatment spray or wash after washing, following the product instructions.
What sizes and colors are available?
This specific product is listed as Red in size XXXXL. Other variants of the Andreson Hybrid Jacket are available in different colors and sizes, such as Green, Grey, and Black, in sizes ranging from S to XXXL.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the Warmloft insulation is not overly compressed. If the jacket has been stored compressed for a long time, allow it to loft naturally or tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help restore loft.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. For heavy rain, consider layering with a waterproof jacket.
Zippers are stiff or sticking
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Move the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.
Jacket feels bulky or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. If layering, ensure the layers underneath are not too thick, which could impede the jacket's natural fit and performance.
