Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket in Green (XL) is designed for adult males seeking a versatile, warm, and lightweight outerwear option for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation and flexibility without restricting movement, thanks to its Extol Stretch fabric and Faux Down filling. A potential caveat is its water resistance, which is achieved through a Durable Water Repellent finish rather than a fully waterproof membrane, meaning it may not perform optimally in prolonged heavy rain.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and snow. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection during prolonged or heavy rainfall.
How do I ensure I choose the correct size?
Please refer to the 'Size Guide' in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the provided measurements (e.g., XL corresponds to a 44-inch chest).
Can this jacket be worn as a mid-layer or an outer layer?
Yes, its lightweight and insulating properties make it suitable as an effective mid-layer under a waterproof shell in colder conditions, or as a standalone outer layer in milder, dry weather.
What is the main advantage of the 'Extol Stretch' fabric?
Extol Stretch fabric is incorporated into key areas to provide enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, making the jacket comfortable for active pursuits where unrestricted motion is important.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash the jacket inside out with similar colors using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting until completely dry.
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses 'Faux Down' or synthetic insulation (120gsm), designed to provide warmth and compressibility similar to natural down, but with better performance when damp.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-repellent than before.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-proofing.
Reduced warmth or loftiness.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Synthetic insulation can lose loft when damp. If washing is required, follow care instructions precisely and tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers if necessary.
Stretch panels feel restrictive.
Check that you have selected the correct size. Ensure the jacket is not overly worn or stretched out, which could affect the elasticity of the panels.
