Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket - Green - M

Extol Stretch is a fabric technology that allows for greater flexibility and freedom of movement. It's typically achieved through a combination of fabric composition and construction, often incorporating elastane or similar materials.

The Faux Down filling (120gsm) is designed to be lightweight and insulating, providing warmth comparable to down but with the advantage of performing better when damp and often using recycled materials. It's ideal for moderate temperatures.

No, the jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can repel light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in heavy downpours. For heavy rain, a waterproof shell is recommended.

As a mid-layer, it can contribute to warmth in cold weather. However, on its own, it's best suited for cool to mild temperatures. For very cold conditions, layer it under a warmer insulated jacket or a waterproof/windproof outer layer.

Refer to the size guide provided. For this jacket, a Medium size corresponds to a chest size of approximately 40 inches. Ensure a comfortable fit that allows for layering underneath.

A waterproof jacket has a membrane or coating that prevents water from penetrating. This jacket has a DWR finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, offering protection only from light moisture, not prolonged or heavy rain.

This can sometimes happen with Faux Down. Gently tumble dry on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help restore loft. If the issue persists, ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If the zipper is sticky, a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) applied to the teeth can help smooth operation.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can diminish over time. Re-apply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying according to the product's instructions.

Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, as these can degrade elastic fibers. If the binding becomes loose, it typically cannot be fully restored, but proper care can prolong its life.
