FAQs
Is the Regatta Andreson VIII Hybrid Jacket waterproof?
No, this jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, meaning it will repel light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What kind of insulation does it use?
It uses Warmloft down-touch water repellent insulation, which is a lightweight synthetic fill designed to provide warmth similar to natural down, even in damp conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in winter?
Yes, for mild winter days or as a layering piece under a heavier shell in colder conditions. Its lightweight insulation is designed for warmth without bulk, making it versatile for varying temperatures. For extreme cold, additional layers are recommended.
How should I clean my jacket?
Close all zippers and use a mild detergent suitable for technical fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to restore loft, or air dry. Check the internal care label for specific instructions. > Info needed: Specific washing temperature.
Is the jacket environmentally friendly?
Yes, the jacket is made with recycled content, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
How easily can I pack this jacket?
The jacket is designed to be highly compressible. It can be easily packed away into a small space in your backpack or luggage, making it convenient for travel and varying weather.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It's ideal for a range of activities including walking, hiking, general outdoor adventures, and everyday casual wear in cool to mild conditions where flexibility and lightweight warmth are desired.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature. This is a lightweight insulation jacket; for very cold conditions, wear a base layer and/or a fleece underneath. Ensure the jacket is clean and the insulation has fully lofted (not compressed).
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting (if permissible) to reactivate the DWR. If this doesn't work, consider using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor garments.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or a graphite pencil) to the teeth to smooth its operation. Always zip and unzip carefully to prevent damage.
Jacket appears flat or insulation is clumped after washing
This can happen if the insulation isn't properly fluffed during drying. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and loft the Warmloft insulation evenly.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket, particularly its water-repellent finish and insulation.
- Washing: Generally, technical outdoor garments like this should be washed gently. Close all zippers before washing. Use a mild detergent designed for technical outerwear, or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
> Info needed: Specific machine wash temperature and cycle recommendations.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff the insulation and restore loft. Alternatively, lay flat to air dry away from direct heat.
> Info needed: Specific tumble dry instructions or if air drying is preferred.
- Storage: Store your jacket clean and completely dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods when not in use, as this can affect the insulation's loft.
- Reactivating Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. You can reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat, or reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor gear.
