Full details
The Regatta Junior Andreson Hybrid jacket is designed for active kids who need warmth and flexibility without bulk. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation and freedom of movement for school or weekend adventures.

This lightweight jacket features Warmloft insulation for heat retention, Extol Stretch panels for unrestricted movement, a water-repellent body, and integrated hood.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket has a durable water-repellent finish on the body, which helps to repel light rain and splashes, but it is not fully waterproof.
How warm is the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft insulation is designed to provide good warmth without adding bulk, making it suitable for cooler days and active use.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
While it provides good warmth, it is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold or extreme weather, an additional insulating layer or a heavier jacket may be necessary.
What is the purpose of the Extol Stretch panels?
The Extol Stretch panels are made of a flexible material that allows for greater freedom of movement, ensuring comfort during active play and sports.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash inside out with similar colours using a liquid detergent, on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softener and do not use biological powder.
How should I dry the jacket?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with a couple of tennis balls, to help restore the insulation. Remove promptly once dry.
Does the jacket have a name label?
Yes, it includes an integrated name label, which is useful for identification, particularly for school use. This label is designed for children up to 8 years old.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses its loft or warmth
Ensure the jacket is properly dried after washing, using a low heat tumble dry with tennis balls to help restore the insulation's fluffiness.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish can be restored by re-applying a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear after washing.
Zip is stiff or difficult to use
Gently work the zip back and forth. You can use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to ease its movement. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip.
