FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Pack-It III Jacket is designed primarily for rain protection. While it can be layered over other clothing for warmth, it does not offer significant insulation on its own and is best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions.
How do I make sure the jacket is truly waterproof?
The jacket features Isolite 15000 waterproof and breathable fabric with taped seams. For continued performance, follow the care instructions to maintain the DWR finish and fabric integrity.
What does 'packaway' mean?
Packaway means the jacket can be folded and stored very compactly into its own integrated stuff sack. This makes it highly portable and convenient to carry when not needed.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like running?
Yes, the jacket is breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities in wet conditions. The Isolite 15000 fabric helps manage moisture build-up.
What are the washing instructions?
The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C, using a non-biological detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry on low heat, or dry clean. Iron on a low heat setting.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features adjustable drawcords with toggles. Pull or loosen these cords to tighten or loosen the hood around your face for a secure fit.
What size should I order?
Refer to the Regatta sizing guide for accurate measurements. Consider if you plan to wear thicker layers underneath, which may require sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly according to care instructions. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplying. Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for technical outerwear.
Hood is too loose or too tight
Adjust the drawcords on the hood to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the toggles are properly secured after adjustment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This may be due to condensation, a common issue with breathable fabrics during high exertion. Ensure you are not overheating and allow for ventilation if possible. Check that the fabric's breathability has not been compromised by dirt or detergent residue; re-wash if necessary.
