Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for active women seeking a blend of warmth, flexibility, and weather protection during outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit lies in its ability to keep you comfortable and moving freely, even in changeable conditions, thanks to its advanced stretch panels and water-repellent finish. A minor caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain may require additional protection. This jacket features a lightweight polyamide construction with strategic stretch inserts, down-touch insulation, and essential pockets for convenience.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The Andreson Hybrid Jacket provides warmth with its insulation, but it is designed as a versatile piece for cool to mild weather or as a mid-layer. For very cold conditions, additional insulating layers or a heavier jacket would be recommended.
How do I clean the Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with the zip fastened and pockets emptied, using a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore loft.
Will this jacket keep me dry in heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. It is not fully waterproof, so for prolonged or heavy rainfall, an additional waterproof outer layer is advisable.
What does 'Extol stretch' mean?
Extol stretch refers to strategically placed panels made from a flexible fabric blend that allows for greater freedom of movement, ensuring the jacket moves with you during activities.
Is the insulation made from recycled materials?
Yes, the WARMLOFT insulation used in this jacket is made from 100% recycled materials.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?
Yes, the breathable fabric and stretch panels make it suitable for active pursuits. However, for very strenuous activities in warmer weather, you might find it a bit warm, and layering might be more appropriate.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
The water-repellent finish can be maintained by washing the jacket according to care instructions and reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially if you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside after light rain
Ensure the water-repellent finish is still active. If not, consider a re-proofing treatment. Also, check that the DWR finish is the only protection; for heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer is recommended.
Reduced warmth after washing
Ensure the jacket is fully dry, preferably tumble-dried on low with tennis balls to restore insulation loft. Avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade insulation performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket is not repelling water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and then apply a DWR re-proofer according to the product instructions. Avoid using fabric conditioner during washing.
