Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid women's bodywarmer is designed for active adults seeking lightweight core warmth and freedom of movement. Its key benefit is providing insulation without bulk, ideal for layering. A potential caveat is its water-repellent finish, which may not suffice in heavy downpours. Key features include durable polyamide with a water-repellent finish, Warmloft down-touch insulation for compressibility, and Extol Stretch panels for enhanced agility, alongside secure zip pockets for essentials.

FAQs

Is this gilet suitable for very cold weather?

The Andreson Hybrid gilet provides core warmth and is excellent for layering. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a warmer insulated jacket or a waterproof shell.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The gilet features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.

How should I store the gilet?

Due to its compressible insulation, the gilet can be rolled or folded tightly for storage or packing. Avoid storing it under heavy compression for extended periods to maintain the loft of the insulation.

What are the main benefits of the Extol Stretch panels?

The Extol Stretch panels are made from a highly flexible fabric that enhances freedom of movement. This is particularly useful during physical activities where agility is important.

What is Warmloft insulation?

Warmloft is a synthetic insulation technology that provides warmth similar to down but with the advantage of maintaining its insulating properties even when damp. It is also highly compressible.

What size should I order?

Please refer to the specific sizing chart provided by Regatta for accurate measurements. The product information indicates this is a women's UK size 26.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or sticking

Gently pull the zipper while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Insulation appears uneven after washing

Gently tumble dry the gilet on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to redistribute and re-fluff the insulation.

Water-repellent finish seems less effective

The water-repellent finish can degrade over time. Consider re-applying a technical water-repellent spray suitable for outdoor apparel after cleaning, following the product's instructions.
