Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight yet warm layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is the blend of insulating faux down filling with flexible Extol Stretch panels, offering both warmth and freedom of movement. A potential consideration is its water-repellent finish, which is effective for light showers but not for prolonged heavy rain. This jacket features a quilted design, a grown-on hood, and a full zip fastening, making it a practical choice for variable weather conditions.

FAQs

What is the primary function of the Extol Stretch panels?

The Extol Stretch panels are made from a blend of polyester and elastane, providing enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement in key areas, making the jacket more comfortable during active pursuits.

How effective is the water repellency?

The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective at repelling light rain and moisture. It is not waterproof and is not designed for heavy or prolonged wet conditions.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

For very cold weather, this jacket is best used as a mid-layer. It provides good insulation, but for extreme cold, additional layers or a more robust outer garment may be necessary.

What are the washing instructions?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Is the filling made from real down?

No, the filling is 'Faux Down,' which is a synthetic alternative made from recycled polyester. It provides warmth and insulation similar to down but is easier to care for and performs better when damp.

How do I reapply the water repellent finish?

You can reapply the DWR finish using specific spray-on or wash-in treatments available from outdoor gear retailers. Follow the product instructions carefully, and typically, a low-heat tumble dry is recommended afterward to activate the treatment.

What sizes are available?

This specific listing is for size XL (44 inches chest). Other sizes such as S, M, L, XXL, and XXXL are available in different color variants.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Consider layering with additional thermal clothing underneath. Check if the DWR finish needs reapplication if it's not repelling water effectively.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Water is soaking through the fabric quickly

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic outerwear. For heavy rain, use a waterproof outer shell in conjunction with this jacket.

Jacket appears to have lost some loft or insulation

Ensure the jacket is washed and dried according to care instructions. Low heat tumble drying with tennis balls can help restore loft to the faux down filling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly compressible, making it easy to pack.
  • Offers a good balance of warmth and breathability due to the hybrid construction.
  • The Extol Stretch panels provide excellent freedom of movement.
  • Durable Water Repellent finish offers protection against light rain.
  • Made with recycled filling materials, appealing to environmentally conscious consumers.
  • Features a comfortable hood and secure zipped pockets.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof; may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
  • The outer fabric's low denier (20D) might be susceptible to snags or tears from rough use.
  • While warm, it may not be sufficient as a standalone outer layer in extreme cold without additional insulation.
  • The filling is faux down, which may not offer the same long-term loft retention as natural down.
  • Available in limited color options for this specific variant (Blue).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required. Ensure the zippers are fully functional before use.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed for general outdoor and casual use. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for added warmth in colder conditions. It can be worn as an outer layer in dry or lightly wet conditions, or as a thermal layer under a waterproof shell.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent. Wash separately or with similar colours.
  2. Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the garment is fully dry before storing.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. Any print or trim should not be ironed.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners or conditioners, as they can affect the DWR finish and insulation performance.
