Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket in White, size XL, is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, warm, and flexible outerwear option. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation and water resistance without compromising mobility, making it ideal for active outdoor pursuits. A potential caveat is its specific denier rating (20D) which might be less robust for extremely harsh environments compared to heavier-duty jackets.

FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for mild to cool conditions, offering warmth and flexibility for active use. It's great for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, or as a mid-layer in winter. The DWR finish provides protection against light rain.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls to restore loft. Do not iron.
Is the filling made from real down?
No, the filling is Faux Down and Warmloft, which are synthetic alternatives designed to mimic the warmth and loft of natural down, often using recycled materials.
Will this jacket keep me dry in heavy rain?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which resists light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
Can I layer this jacket with other clothing?
Yes, its lightweight and flexible design makes it an excellent layering piece. You can wear it over base layers or thinner mid-layers, and under a waterproof shell for added protection.
What does 'Extol Stretch' mean for the fit?
Extol Stretch refers to fabric technology that allows for greater elasticity and freedom of movement. This means the jacket will stretch with your body, preventing restriction during physical activities.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
After several washes, the DWR finish may diminish. You can restore it by cleaning the jacket and then applying a specific DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the insulation has regained its loft. Try tumble drying on a low heat with dryer balls to help re-fluff the Faux Down and Warmloft filling. Check that the DWR finish is still effective; re-apply if necessary.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment as per the product's guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
The jacket's fit feels restrictive.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that do not add excessive bulk. The Extol Stretch fabric provides flexibility, but very tight underlayers can still limit movement.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. It is recommended to run an extra rinse cycle to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of balls to help restore loft to the filling. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, apply a re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment after several washes, following the product's instructions.
- Ironing: Do not iron. The heat can damage the fabric and insulation.
