Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid men's bodywarmer is designed for active adults seeking a lightweight yet durable layer for on-the-go wear. Its key benefit is providing core insulation without restricting movement, thanks to its stretch side panels and Warmloft insulation. A potential consideration is its water-repellent finish, which may not suffice for heavy downpours. This gilet features a polyamide main body, Warmloft down-touch insulation, Extol Stretch warm-backed knitted fabric, and secure zip pockets.

FAQs
Is this bodywarmer suitable for very cold weather?
The Andreson Hybrid Bodywarmer provides good core insulation but is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments and a waterproof outer shell is recommended.
How do I clean the bodywarmer?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore insulation loft.
What does 'Warmloft down-touch insulation' mean?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation designed to mimic the warmth and compressibility of down feathers, offering excellent thermal performance even when damp, without using animal products.
Can I wear this in the rain?
The bodywarmer has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers or splashes. For prolonged or heavy rain, a waterproof jacket should be worn over it.
What are the stretch panels for?
The Extol Stretch panels on the sides are made from a flexible fabric that enhances freedom of movement, allowing the gilet to adapt to your body's motion during active pursuits.
How compressible is this bodywarmer?
It is designed to be highly compressible, making it easy to pack into a backpack or travel bag without taking up much space.
What material is the main body made of?
The main body of the gilet is made from lightweight but durable polyamide.
Troubleshooting
Reduced insulation effectiveness
Ensure the insulation is not compressed for long periods. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat with tennis balls to restore loft.
Water repellent finish is no longer effective
Reapply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Garment feels too tight or restrictive
Check the sizing chart against your measurements. Consider if a larger size or a different Regatta model might be more suitable for your needs.
