Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Gilet is designed for adult women seeking versatile core warmth without unnecessary bulk during outdoor activities like hiking, walking, or weekend adventures. Its key benefit lies in the combination of advanced stretch panels for freedom of movement and a water-repellent finish with lightweight insulation for protection against the elements. A potential caveat is its lightweight construction, which may offer less insulation than a fully padded jacket in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this gilet warm enough for winter?
The Andreson Hybrid Gilet provides core warmth with its lightweight insulation, making it ideal for cooler conditions. For very cold winter weather, it is best used as a layering piece over a warm base layer and under a more insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
How do I clean the gilet?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry. Do not iron or dry clean. Always fasten zips before washing.
What does 'hybrid' mean in this context?
The 'hybrid' refers to the combination of different materials used in its construction: a lightweight, water-repellent polyamide for the main body and Extol Stretch knitted fabric for enhanced mobility in specific areas.
Can this gilet be worn by men?
This specific product is designed as women's apparel. Please check for men's specific Regatta gilets if needed.
How effective is the water-repellent finish?
The finish provides protection against light rain and moisture. It is not intended for prolonged exposure to heavy rain; for such conditions, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
What are the benefits of the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and compressibility of down but performs better when damp and is easier to care for. It provides excellent warmth without adding significant weight or bulk.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The Extol Stretch panels should offer flexibility, but if there is overall tightness, a larger size may be needed.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing. Consider reapplying a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Lubricating the zipper with graphite (pencil lead) or a specialised zipper lubricant can help.
