Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Clumber Hybrid Jacket in blue, size 8, is designed for active adult women seeking a blend of warmth, flexibility, and protection for outdoor activities. Its key benefit is providing comfortable insulation and water repellency without restricting movement, making it ideal for hikes and walks. A potential caveat is that its water-repellent finish is best suited for light rain, not prolonged downpours. This jacket features Warmloft insulation for coziness, Extol stretch panels for enhanced mobility, and a water-repellent finish to shield against light showers.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall. For such conditions, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the product's size chart for accurate measurements. The Clumber Hybrid Jacket is designed for an active fit, so consider your preferred layering amount when selecting your size. This guide is for Size 8.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good insulation for moderate cold. For extremely cold temperatures, it is designed to be layered effectively with warmer mid-layers or an outer shell for added protection.
What is the difference between water-repellent and waterproof?
Water-repellent means the fabric resists water penetration to some extent, causing water to bead up and roll off. Waterproof means the fabric is designed to prevent water from passing through entirely, even under pressure. This jacket is water-repellent.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, you may notice the water-repellent finish diminishing after several washes or significant wear. Reapplying a waterproofing treatment every season or when water no longer beads effectively is recommended.
Can the stretch panels be damaged?
The Extol stretch panels are durable but can be snagged by sharp objects. Avoid rough contact with abrasive surfaces to maintain their integrity and performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the insulation is not compressed. If packed tightly, gently fluff it. For colder conditions, consider layering with an additional insulating piece.
Water-repellent finish is not working effectively
The finish may have worn off over time. Consider re-waterproofing the jacket using a specialized spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel, following product instructions carefully. Avoid using fabric softener during washes.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check the zipper track for any debris or fabric obstruction. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket loses its shape after washing
Ensure the jacket is washed on a gentle cycle and dried according to care instructions. Avoid harsh wringing or prolonged exposure to high heat during drying.
