Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is an ideal choice for active children who need a versatile, lightweight outer layer for outdoor play and school commutes. It combines Warmloft insulation for core warmth with Extol Stretch panels for unhindered movement, though it is best suited for mild to cool days rather than heavy, sustained rainfall due to its water-repellent rather than waterproof construction.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof raincoat.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Air drying is recommended. High heat can damage the synthetic insulation and the stretch panels.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to standard UK children's sizing. If in doubt, opt for a size up to allow for layering underneath.
What is Warmloft insulation?
It is a synthetic, down-touch insulation that provides high-warmth-to-weight ratio and remains warm even when damp.
Where is the reflective strip located?
The jacket includes integrated reflective detailing to increase visibility in low-light environments.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for fabric caught in the guard. If it continues, use a silicone zipper lubricant or a pencil lead rubbed on the teeth to smooth the movement.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The durable water-repellent (DWR) coating may need to be refreshed. Use a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofer to restore the water-beading performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure the zip is fully closed before washing to prevent damage. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent; avoid harsh fabric softeners that can compromise the water-repellent finish. It is recommended to air dry the garment to protect the insulation loft. Check the internal label to write your child's name for school identification. When storing, keep the jacket in a dry place and avoid hanging it in direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent colour fading.
