Full details

The Regatta Andreson Hybrid Jacket is designed for active kids, offering warmth and freedom of movement for school or outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight insulation and stretch panels, providing comfort without bulk. A potential consideration is that the water-repellent finish is primarily on the body and may not withstand heavy rain.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Andreson Hybrid Jacket provides good warmth for its weight thanks to Warmloft insulation, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions as a mid-layer or standalone piece in milder weather. For extreme cold or prolonged exposure to low temperatures, additional layers or a heavier jacket may be necessary.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat ironing or tumble drying. Do not dry clean.

Will the water-repellent finish last?

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish on the body helps shed light moisture. Like most DWR treatments, its effectiveness can decrease over time and with washing. You can re-apply a DWR treatment after cleaning if you notice reduced water repellency.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?

Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. However, air drying is also recommended and can help prolong the life of the fabric and its finishes.

What is the benefit of the Extol Stretch panels?

The Extol Stretch panels are made from a different, more flexible material that allows for a greater range of motion. This is particularly beneficial for active children who need to move freely while playing, running, or climbing.

Is there a size guide available?

Please refer to Regatta's official sizing chart for children's apparel, which can typically be found on their website or the retailer's product page, to ensure you select the correct size.

What is the difference between this and a fully waterproof jacket?

This jacket features a water-repellent finish on the body, meaning it will resist water penetration from light rain or splashes. A fully waterproof jacket is constructed with membranes and sealed seams to prevent water from entering, even in heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the Warmloft insulation is not compressed for extended periods. If the jacket has been washed, make sure it is fully dry, as dampness can affect insulation performance. Check that the main zipper is fully closed to prevent heat loss.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The jacket has a water-repellent finish primarily on the body. This is designed for light showers. For heavier rain, consider layering with a fully waterproof outer jacket. The water-repellent treatment may diminish over time; re-apply a suitable fabric treatment if necessary after washing according to care instructions.

Stretch panels feel restrictive.

Ensure the jacket is the correct size. If the panels feel tight, the jacket might be too small. Check that nothing is caught in the Extol Stretch panels.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. You can use a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zipper if needed.
