Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket - White - M

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket provides good insulation for mild to cool conditions. For very cold or snowy weather, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more robust, insulated, and waterproof outer jacket.

Warmloft is a synthetic insulation made from Faux Down and recycled materials. It offers good warmth even when damp and is often more compressible and easier to care for than natural down, though it may not reach the same extreme temperature ratings.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Typically, reapplying a DWR treatment every few washes or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface will maintain its effectiveness.

Yes, the Extol Stretch fabric and lightweight design make it suitable for many active pursuits. However, for very strenuous activities where heavy sweating is expected, ensure you have appropriate moisture-wicking base layers.

The 'Hybrid' designation typically refers to the jacket combining different materials or constructions. In this case, it likely combines insulated panels (for warmth) with stretch panels (for mobility), often in a quilted design.

For a size Medium (M), the chest measurement is approximately 40 inches.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the size guide provided. The Extol Stretch panels should offer flexibility, but if it feels genuinely tight, a larger size might be needed.

The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended. Reapply a DWR treatment to the jacket to restore water repellency if it has diminished.

Avoid using fabric softener, as it can impair the insulation's loft and the DWR finish. Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing; tumble drying on a low heat with a dryer ball can help restore loft.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
