Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Clumber V Hybrid Jacket is designed for adult women who enjoy hiking and outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing lightweight, water-repellent warmth with excellent freedom of movement, making it ideal for variable weather conditions. A minor caveat is its specific focus on outdoor athletic use, meaning it might be less suited for casual, everyday wear if extreme weather protection is not required. This jacket features durable, stretchable nylon fabric, compressible Warmloft insulation for bulk-free warmth, and stretch binding to seal out the elements.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Clumber V Hybrid Jacket provides bulk-free warmth ideal for mild to cool conditions. For extreme cold, it functions best as a layering piece with warmer insulation underneath or a more robust outer shell.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, close all zippers, and tumble dry on a low setting. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What does 'Extol stretch' mean?
Extol stretch refers to the fabric panels incorporated into the jacket, typically on the sides or underarms, which are made of a more elastic material to allow for greater freedom of movement.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment. If the finish seems to be wearing off, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing and drying.
Can this jacket be packed into its own pocket?
While the jacket is highly compressible due to its lightweight nature, it is not specifically designed to pack into an integrated pocket. It can be easily rolled or folded to fit into a backpack.
What is the main difference between this and a fully waterproof jacket?
This jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can shed light rain and moisture. A waterproof jacket uses a membrane and sealed seams to prevent water from penetrating even in heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The Extol stretch fabric is designed for movement, but very thick layers underneath may limit this.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer shell. Re-apply a water-repellent treatment if performance has decreased over time.
Insulation appears flattened after washing.
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps and restore the insulation's loft.
