Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket - Purple

No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can shed light rain and mist, but it is not fully waterproof and will not withstand heavy downpours.

The jacket is primarily made of Nylon and Polyester, with Extol stretch panels for added flexibility.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using a mild liquid detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach or iron.

It provides good warmth for its weight, but for very cold conditions, it is best worn as part of a layering system with warmer mid-layers and a windproof/waterproof outer shell.

The product description does not specify a hood. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications for this feature.

It means the jacket is insulated with synthetic fibers that mimic the feel and warmth of down feathers but are often easier to care for and perform better when damp.

Yes, the stretch panels and breathable fabric make it suitable for activities like hiking and running where flexibility and moisture management are important. However, for very intense activities in wet weather, a dedicated waterproof shell might be necessary.

Layer with a thermal base layer or a fleece mid-layer for added insulation. Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully.

The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Consider using a specialized re-proofing spray after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Ensure you have the correct size jacket. If it's too tight, the stretch panels may be overextended. Check the fit against the brand's sizing guide.

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
