FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The Andreson Hybrid jacket is ideal for mild to cool conditions, offering warmth and protection against light rain or wind. It is not designed for heavy downpours or extreme cold.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
Will this jacket keep me completely dry in heavy rain?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish which is effective against light showers. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the properties of down, providing lightweight warmth without bulk, even when damp.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are standard zipped pockets and are not waterproof. They are designed to keep items secure and protected from light splashes, but not from prolonged exposure to water.
Can I wear this jacket over other layers?
Yes, the Extol Stretch panels allow for good mobility, so you can comfortably wear the jacket over a base layer or a light fleece for added warmth.
How often should I re-apply water repellent treatment?
The need to re-apply depends on usage and washing frequency. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the surface. Typically, this might be after several washes or a season of regular use.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment following product instructions.
Insulation feels flat or clumpy after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the insulation's loft.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or paraffin) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Stretch panels are pulling or restricting movement
Ensure the jacket is the correct size. Check that the garment is not being overstretched beyond its intended capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (85°F) on a gentle cycle.
