Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for active adults seeking a versatile, lightweight, and packable outer layer for mild to cool weather. Its key benefit lies in its combination of warmth from insulation and freedom of movement thanks to stretch panels. A potential caveat is its limited protection in heavy rain due to its water-repellent finish rather than full waterproofing. This jacket features a 100% lightweight polyamide main body with EXTOL STRETCH inserts for enhanced flexibility, durable water-repellent finish, and WARMLOFT insulation for effective warmth without bulk. It's easily compressible for storage and includes practical features like an integrated hood and zippered pockets.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for its weight, suitable for mild to cool conditions. For very cold winter weather, it is best used as a layering piece over other warm garments and potentially under a waterproof shell.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What does 'hybrid' mean in the context of this jacket?
The 'hybrid' nature refers to the combination of different materials and functionalities. It features insulated body panels for warmth and stretch fabric panels for mobility, offering a balance of protection and freedom of movement.
How effective is the water-repellent finish?
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish is effective against light rain and moisture, causing water to bead and roll off. It is not a substitute for a fully waterproof jacket and will not provide protection in prolonged heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket for intense aerobic activities?
Yes, the stretch inserts and lightweight fabric are designed to allow for good freedom of movement during moderate to high-intensity activities. However, for very high exertion, consider breathability needs.
Is the insulation made from recycled materials?
Yes, the WARMLOFT insulation used in this jacket is made from 100% recycled materials.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
The jacket is easily compressible. You can fold or roll it tightly and store it in a backpack or gear bag. Avoid storing it compressed for extended periods to maintain insulation loft.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there are no fabric snags in the zipper track. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil lead) to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels less water-repellent after washing
The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
Insulation appears clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the insulation.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Check the size guide before purchasing. For minor adjustments, use the hood and hem drawcords (if applicable) for a more customized fit.
