Product Information
Full details
The Korda Hybrid Jacket is designed for adult anglers who require a balance between thermal insulation and active mobility during cold-weather fishing. It serves as an ideal outer layer or mid-layer, featuring hollow fibre insulation in the core for heat retention and fleece construction in the arms for ease of movement; however, it is best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions rather than heavy, sustained rain.

FAQs
Is the Hybrid Jacket waterproof?
No, it is designed for windproofing and thermal retention. It is not fully waterproof and should be paired with a shell during heavy rain.
How should I store this jacket?
Store on a wide-shouldered hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulder panels.
Can I wear this under a waterproof parka?
Yes, its low-profile design makes it an excellent mid-layer for extreme cold conditions.
Does the hood adjust?
The hood is designed for a snug fit to trap heat, moving with the head to maintain visibility while spotting.
Is the XXL size generous?
The XXL is designed to allow for layering underneath, providing a comfortable fit for larger frames.
Troubleshooting
Zip becomes stiff or difficult to pull
Check for fabric stuck in the teeth. If clean, apply a small amount of clear candle wax to the teeth to lubricate the track.
Pilling on the fleece arms
Use a fabric shaver or a dedicated lint remover to gently lift away surface bobbles without damaging the underlying weave.
Loss of loft in the core
After washing, hang the jacket and gently shake it to help the hollow fibre insulation redistribute and recover its loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Korda Hybrid Jacket, avoid exposing the fleece panels to sharp objects or thick vegetation to prevent pilling and snagging. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent, preferably inside out, to protect the outer surface. Do not use fabric softeners, as these can affect the performance of the technical materials. Always allow the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibres and zipper components. Ensure zips are fully closed before washing to prevent snagging on other items.
