Full details
The Regatta Clumber Hybrid Jacket in Orange (XL) is designed for adult males seeking lightweight, insulating, and flexible outerwear for outdoor layering. Its key benefit is providing warmth without bulk, thanks to Warmloft insulation, combined with excellent mobility from Extol Stretch panels.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket has a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which protects against light rain and splashes. It is not fully waterproof and should be paired with a waterproof outer shell in heavy or prolonged wet conditions.
How warm is the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft insulation provides excellent warmth without the bulk of traditional fillings. The jacket is designed for layering, so its warmth can be adjusted by adding or removing base layers and outer shells.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
As a layering piece, it can contribute to warmth in cold temperatures when combined with appropriate base and mid-layers, and a windproof/waterproof outer shell. It may not be sufficient as a standalone jacket in extreme cold.
How do I care for the Extol Stretch panels?
The Extol Stretch panels are made from a durable polyester blend. Follow the general care instructions for the jacket, avoiding high heat and harsh chemicals, to maintain their flexibility and performance.
What is the purpose of the internal safety tape for the zipper?
The internal safety tape provides a clean finish behind the main zipper, preventing the zipper teeth from catching on or damaging the garment underneath, and can also help to reduce drafts.
Can this jacket be worn for high-intensity sports?
Yes, the Extol Stretch panels are designed for high-intensity activities, offering freedom of movement. The jacket's lightweight and breathable nature also makes it suitable for such activities, especially when used as a mid-layer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the jacket is zipped up correctly. Check if the stretch binding on the collar, cuffs, and hem is causing discomfort; adjust if necessary.
Water repellency seems reduced
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Wash the jacket following care instructions and consider using a DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor clothing.
Insulation feels flat or less warm
Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat with clean tennis balls to help re-fluff the insulation and restore loft.
Zippers are difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant can help.
