Full details
The Regatta Clumber Hybrid Jacket in Orange (Medium) is designed for adult males seeking a lightweight, insulating, and flexible outer layer for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to Warmloft insulation, while Extol Stretch panels ensure freedom of movement.

FAQs
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the performance of down, offering excellent warmth without significant weight or bulk, and it retains insulating properties even when damp.
What does 'Extol Stretch' mean?
Extol Stretch refers to the use of flexible, ergonomic fabric panels in key areas of the jacket. These panels allow for greater freedom of movement, essential for active outdoor pursuits.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish which is effective against light showers. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for heavy or prolonged rain conditions. A dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended for such weather.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good insulation for its weight, but for very cold temperatures, it is best used as a mid-layer, worn over warmer base layers and potentially under a more insulated or waterproof outer shell.
What are the dimensions of the zipped pockets?
Specific pocket dimensions are not provided, but they are designed to hold common personal items such as a phone, keys, or wallet.
How compressible is the jacket?
The jacket is made from lightweight 20D polyamide fabric and is designed to be easily compressible, allowing it to be packed down compactly for travel or storage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels bulky.
Ensure you are wearing the correct size. The jacket is designed to be lightweight; excessive bulk might indicate it's too small or not properly zipped.
Zippers are stiff or snagging.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the internal safety tape is not obstructing the zipper.
Reduced water repellency.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can diminish over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic outerwear after washing.
Insulation feels uneven.
After washing and drying, gently shake the jacket to redistribute the Warmloft insulation. Avoid over-drying or high heat, which can cause clumping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: While designed as a layering piece, it is compatible with other outdoor apparel such as base layers and waterproof shells. The men's Medium size is designed to fit an average adult male frame.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
- Ironing: Do not iron. If creases occur, a cool iron may be used very carefully on the polyamide areas only, avoiding the stretch panels and insulation.
