Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Andreson Hybrid women's bodywarmer is designed for active adults seeking versatile core warmth without bulk. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight, water-repellent polyamide with highly compressible Warmloft insulation and agile Extol Stretch panels, making it ideal for packing and dynamic movement. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so heavy rain may require additional protection. It features zip pockets for secure storage of essentials, offering comfort and freedom for outdoor adventures.

FAQs
Is the Andreson Hybrid Gilet waterproof?
The gilet has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can shed light rain and moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and will not provide complete protection in heavy downpours.
How do I clean the gilet?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent, closing zippers before washing. Tumble dry on a low heat. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The gilet provides core warmth, but for very cold conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer underneath a waterproof or insulated outer jacket.
What makes it 'hybrid'?
The 'hybrid' design refers to the combination of different materials: the water-repellent polyamide body with Warmloft insulation, and the Extol Stretch panels for enhanced movement and breathability.
Is this gilet suitable for hiking?
Yes, it is highly suitable for hiking due to its lightweight, packable nature, warmth, and the freedom of movement provided by the stretch panels.
How do I restore the loft of the insulation after washing?
After washing and drying, gently pat or shake the gilet to help redistribute and restore the loft of the Warmloft insulation.
What are the benefits of the Extol Stretch panels?
The Extol Stretch panels are made from a warm-backed knitted fabric that allows the garment to move with you, enhancing agility and comfort during active pursuits.
Troubleshooting
Gilet feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the Warmloft insulation has been restored to its full loft by gently patting or shaking it after washing and drying. If layering, ensure your base layers are appropriate for the temperature.
Water repellency is reduced.
The water-repellent finish may naturally diminish over time. Consider using a re-proofer suitable for synthetic clothing after cleaning, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stuck, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Avoid using fabric softener, which can affect the insulation and water-repellent properties. Ensure the garment is rinsed thoroughly. Tumble drying on a low heat can help restore softness.
