Regatta Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket - Peach Bloom - 8

The Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket provides lightweight insulation and water repellency, making it suitable for mild winter conditions or as a layering piece. For extreme cold or heavy snow, you would need a more heavily insulated and fully waterproof jacket.

No, this jacket features a water-repellent coating designed to handle light rain and moisture, not heavy downpours. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams would be required.

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart, often found on the product page. The jacket is designed to be bulk-free, so consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath when making your selection.

Info needed: Specific pocket details are not provided. Please check the product images or detailed description for pocket configuration (e.g., zipped hand pockets, internal pockets).

Info needed: The type of insulation is described as 'lightweight insulation' made of polyester. To confirm if it's entirely synthetic and therefore vegan-friendly, please check the detailed product specifications or contact customer support.

The water-repellent coating (DWR) will naturally diminish over time with wear and washing. Regular proper washing and occasional re-application with a DWR treatment product will help maintain its effectiveness.

Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. This jacket is lightweight; for colder temperatures, a base layer and a mid-layer might be necessary. Also, check that the zipper is fully closed to trap warmth.

The water-repellent coating (DWR) may need to be reactivated or re-applied. Wash the jacket as per care instructions, then consider using a DWR restoration spray or wash-in product suitable for technical outerwear.

Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The Extol stretch fabric should allow for comfortable movement. If newly washed, ensure all detergent residue has been thoroughly rinsed out, as residue can affect fabric feel. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before storage. If the odor persists, a specialized athletic garment cleaner might be helpful, but avoid strong chemicals.
