Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Junior Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for active children, offering warmth, flexibility, and protection against light weather. Its key benefit is keeping kids comfortable during outdoor play and school days with its lightweight insulation and stretch panels. A potential caveat is its water-repellent, not fully waterproof, nature, meaning it's best suited for dry or lightly damp conditions. Key features include Warmloft insulation, Extol Stretch panels, a water-repellent finish, an integrated hood, and zipped pockets.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes but is not designed for heavy downpours. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
How do I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket inside out using a mild detergent and with similar colours. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang it to dry.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth and loft of down feathers, providing excellent thermal properties without the bulk and is effective even when damp.
What are Extol Stretch panels?
Extol Stretch panels are made from a highly flexible fabric, typically a polyester-elastane blend, incorporated into the jacket's design to allow for greater freedom of movement during physical activities.
Can this jacket be used in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good warmth for its weight but is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it's recommended to wear it as part of a layering system with warmer base layers and mid-layers.
Does the jacket have a name label?
Yes, the jacket includes an address label inside, suitable for children up to 8 years old, to help identify ownership.
What is the benefit of the reflective strip?
The reflective strip is designed to enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk or dawn, improving safety for children when they are outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth.
Consider layering the jacket with a warmer base layer or fleece for colder conditions. The jacket is designed for moderate temperatures or as a layering piece.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The DWR finish can diminish over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Extol Stretch panels feel restrictive.
Ensure the jacket is the correct size. The stretch panels are designed to offer flexibility, but if the overall fit is too tight, they may feel restrictive. Check the size guide.
