Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, warm, and flexible outer layer for active use. Its key benefit lies in its combination of insulating properties with freedom of movement, thanks to the Extol Stretch fabric. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so extended exposure to heavy rain may require additional protection. This jacket features a hooded design, multiple zip pockets, and a full-zip fastening, making it a practical choice for varying weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
While the jacket provides good insulation with its Warmloft filling, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer in colder weather. For extreme cold or heavy snow, layering with additional warm clothing is recommended.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash inside out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What does 'Hybrid Jacket' mean in this context?
A hybrid jacket typically combines different materials or construction methods to optimize performance. In this case, it features insulated quilted panels (for warmth) and stretch panels (for mobility).
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which will repel light rain or snow. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy rainfall.
What is Extol Stretch fabric?
Extol Stretch is a fabric technology used by Regatta that offers excellent flexibility and freedom of movement, often incorporated into areas requiring greater articulation, like the side panels or underarms.
How do I maintain the water repellency?
You can restore or enhance the water repellency by washing the jacket and then applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the instructions on the treatment product.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided measurement chart. The Extol Stretch panels are designed for flexibility, but the core fit is determined by the size.
Reduced water repellency
The DWR finish may have worn off over time. Clean the jacket and re-apply a DWR treatment product according to the product's instructions.
Zip is difficult to fasten or unfasten
Check for any fabric caught in the zip. Lubricate the zip with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil tip if it feels stiff.
Filling appears clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried, preferably in a tumble dryer on a low heat with tennis balls to help break up any clumps in the filling.
