Regatta Andreson Hybrid Gilet - Blue - 16

The Andreson Hybrid gilet has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can resist light rain or splashes. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.

This gilet is best suited for mild to cool weather. It provides core warmth and is ideal as an outer layer on its own in moderate conditions or as a mid-layer in colder weather.

Refer to the brand's sizing chart. The gilet is designed for a comfortable fit that allows for layering underneath. The stretch panels offer some flexibility.

Yes, the Extol Stretch panels are designed to enhance agility and freedom of movement, making it suitable for activities like hiking, walking, and other outdoor pursuits.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, wash separately, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners.

To minimize clumping, use a low heat tumble dry setting and gently shake the gilet after drying to help redistribute the insulation. Avoid high heat.

This gilet uses synthetic Warmloft insulation which offers good warmth and compressibility, similar to down but performs better when damp. Down offers a superior warmth-to-weight ratio but loses insulation when wet.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Extol Stretch panels are designed to allow movement, but a size too small can still restrict motion.

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider applying a reproofing spray suitable for synthetic and polyamide clothing after washing according to care instructions.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialised zipper lubricant if necessary.

Ensure you are following the specific washing and drying instructions, particularly avoiding fabric softeners and using a low heat tumble dry or air dry. Gently shake the gilet after drying to help redistribute the insulation.
