Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Gilet is designed for adult women seeking versatile warmth and freedom of movement during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing core insulation without bulk, thanks to lightweight construction and stretch panels. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof. This gilet features a durable water-repellent finish, lightweight polyamide fabric, and advanced Extol stretch inserts for enhanced mobility, making it suitable for hiking, walking, and general outdoor wear.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The Andreson Hybrid Gilet provides lightweight insulation, making it best suited for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For extreme cold, additional thermal layers would be necessary.

How do I clean the gilet?

You can machine wash the gilet on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with tennis balls to help maintain insulation loft.

Will this gilet keep me dry in heavy rain?

The gilet features a durable water-repellent finish, which helps to shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and will not provide protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall. A waterproof outer jacket is recommended for such conditions.

What does 'hybrid' mean in the product name?

The 'hybrid' refers to the combination of insulated padded sections (for core warmth) and stretch fabric panels (for enhanced movement and breathability) found in the gilet's construction.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this gilet?

It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can negatively affect the performance of the water-repellent finish and the insulation's loft.

What is the insulation made of?

The insulation used is WARMLOFT, which is made from 100% recycled materials. It offers effective thermal performance while being environmentally conscious.

How do I restore the water repellency if it fades?

If the water-repellent finish seems less effective, you can re-treat the gilet using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific instructions.

Troubleshooting

Gilet not providing enough warmth

Ensure you are layering appropriately. This gilet is designed as a mid-layer or for moderate temperatures. Add a warmer base layer or an outer shell in colder conditions.

Water-repellent finish seems ineffective

The DWR finish can degrade over time. Re-treat the gilet with a suitable DWR re-proofer spray. Ensure you avoid fabric softeners during washing, as they can inhibit the DWR treatment.

Gilet feels bulky or restrictive

Check that you have selected the correct size. Ensure the stretch panels are aligned correctly and not constrained by other garments. The gilet is designed to be lightweight and flexible.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help ease stiffness.
