Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Kids' Pack It Packaway Jacket in blue is designed for young adventurers who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and lightweight wearability, making it easy to carry. A minor caveat is that its focus on packability might mean it's best suited for moderate to light rain rather than extreme downpours. The jacket utilizes advanced Isolite 15000 fabric, features taped seams for full waterproofing, and conveniently packs into its own stuff sack, making it an ideal companion for school, holidays, or spontaneous outdoor activities.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for waterproofing and breathability. It is lightweight and best suited for mild to moderate temperatures or as an outer layer over warmer clothing in colder conditions. It does not provide significant insulation on its own.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a liquid detergent and an extra rinse cycle. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powder detergents. Do not dry clean.

Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?

Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. This can also help to reactivate the DWR finish. Alternatively, you can hang it to dry.

What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?

Isolite 15000 refers to the fabric's performance rating, indicating it offers 15,000mm hydrostatic head (waterproofness) and good breathability, suitable for active use in wet weather.

How does the packaway feature work?

The jacket has an integrated stuff sack, usually a pocket that can be turned inside out. You fold the jacket neatly into this pocket, creating a compact bundle for easy storage and transport.

What is the typical lifespan of the waterproof treatment?

The durability of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment depends on usage and care. After several washes or significant wear, it may need to be reapplied using a specific re-waterproofing product to restore its performance.

Is this jacket suitable for snowboarding or skiing?

While waterproof and breathable, this jacket is a lightweight shell. It is not insulated and is designed more for general outdoor activities, hiking, or school use in wet weather rather than extreme snow sports where significant insulation and features like powder skirts are typically required.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof or water is soaking in.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a specific re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outerwear.

Jacket feels clammy inside even when not raining.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Wash according to care instructions and consider an extra rinse cycle. Check that the breathability has not been compromised by fabric softeners.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or a pencil lead (graphite) rubbed along the teeth.

Jacket's packaway function is difficult.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold it neatly following the original folds if possible, and then stuff it into the integrated sack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure it is fully opened and allowed to air before first use if it has been packed away for an extended period.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with wearing over various layers of clothing, such as t-shirts, jumpers, or fleeces, depending on the weather conditions. Its unisex design makes it suitable for all children.

Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C, preferably on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure an extra rinse cycle is used to remove all detergent residues.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not dry clean.
  4. Re-waterproofing: For enhanced water repellency, consider using a specific spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer suitable for technical outdoor clothing after several washes.
