FAQs
Is the Regatta Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket fully waterproof?
No, this jacket has a water-repellent coating which causes light rain to bead off the surface. It offers good protection in light showers but is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy or prolonged downpours.
How should I wash this jacket?
The jacket is Machine Washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What kind of insulation does it use?
It uses Warmloft insulation, which is a highly compressible, synthetic down-touch fill. It's designed to provide warmth efficiently without adding significant bulk.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
The Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket features lightweight insulation. While warm for its weight, for very cold winter conditions, it's best used as a mid-layer underneath a warmer outer shell, or for milder winter days.
What is Extol Stretch fabric?
Extol Stretch is an ergonomic and flexible fabric used in the jacket's design. It provides exceptional freedom of movement and comfort, making the jacket ideal for active use.
Is this jacket environmentally friendly?
Yes, parts of this jacket are made from recycled plastic bottles, aligning with sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact.
What sizes are available?
This particular model is available in UK women's dress size 10, with other variants available in sizes up to 24 and various colors.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. This jacket features lightweight insulation and is designed for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer. Check that the fit is snug but not restrictive, allowing trapped air to insulate effectively.
Water no longer beads off the surface effectively
The water-repellent coating can diminish over time with wear and washing. To restore it, ensure the jacket is clean and consider using a 'wash-in' or 'spray-on' DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to move
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. If still stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite (e.g., from a pencil lead) along the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket appears flat or compressed after washing/storage
The Warmloft insulation may clump slightly after washing or extended compression. To restore its loft, gently tumble dry on a low heat with a few clean tennis balls, or manually fluff the jacket by hand after drying. Avoid storing it tightly compressed for long periods.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Regatta Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: The jacket is Machine Washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish and insulation performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or ideally, hang dry away from direct heat. For best results with the Warmloft insulation, periodically fluff the jacket during drying or after it's dry to restore loft.
- Do Not Bleach: Avoid using bleach.
- Do Not Iron: Ironing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric and coatings.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. When not in use for extended periods, avoid compressing it for too long to help maintain the insulation's loft.
