FAQs

What is the primary material of this gilet?

The main body is typically made from Nylon or Polyester, with advanced Extol stretch panels for flexibility.

Is this gilet suitable for heavy rain?

The gilet has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy downpours.

Can I wear this in winter?

The Andreson Hybrid gilet provides core warmth and is excellent for layering. It can be part of a winter system when worn over insulating layers and under a waterproof/windproof outer shell, but it is not designed as a standalone winter jacket.

How do I wash the gilet?

You can machine wash it with similar colours, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Iron on a low heat if necessary.

What does 'Hybrid' refer to in the product name?

The 'Hybrid' refers to the combination of insulated body panels and stretch fabric panels, offering both warmth and unrestricted movement.

Is this gilet available in other colours and sizes?

Yes, the Regatta Andreson Hybrid Gilet is available in various colours and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The Extol stretch panels are designed for movement, so if it feels tight, a larger size might be needed.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing, following the product's instructions.

Insulation not as warm as expected.

Consider layering the gilet over a warmer base layer or fleece for added insulation in colder conditions. The gilet is designed for moderate warmth.
