Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid women's padded gilet is designed for adult females seeking core warmth and flexibility during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing insulation and water repellency without bulk, thanks to advanced Extol stretch panels. A potential caveat is that it may not offer full-body protection in extreme weather conditions, focusing primarily on core coverage.

FAQs
Is this gilet suitable for very cold winter weather?

Can I machine wash the gilet?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

The Extol stretch panels are strategically placed to allow for greater freedom of movement, ensuring comfort and flexibility during physical activities.

Troubleshooting
Gilet feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers. The Extol stretch panels are designed to work with movement; if it feels tight, consider if the underlying layers are contributing to the restriction.
Water repellency seems reduced.
After washing, tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish. For persistent issues, consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for synthetic outdoor clothing.
Core feels cold in windy conditions.
The gilet's primary function is insulation. For windy conditions, pair it with a windproof outer layer or a more robust jacket.
