FAQs
What age group is this jacket intended for?
This jacket is designed for kids, with specific sizing available (e.g., 5-6 Years).
How do I clean the Regatta Pack It III jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Re-waterproof periodically.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. For winter use, it is recommended to layer it over warm clothing like fleece or insulated jackets for adequate warmth.
How does the packable feature work?
The jacket is designed to be folded and stuffed into its own integrated stuff sack, making it very compact and easy to carry in a backpack or bag.
What does 'Isotex 5000' or 'Isolite 15000' refer to?
These are Regatta's proprietary waterproof and breathable fabric technologies. The numbers indicate the hydrostatic head rating (higher number means more waterproof).
Can this jacket be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex, suitable for any child.
What should I do if the jacket's water repellency decreases?
The water repellency can be restored by cleaning the jacket and then applying a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Child feels clammy or warm inside
This jacket is designed to be breathable, but in very high exertion or humid conditions, adding an extra base layer or removing one might help. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, use a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant on the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket arrived wrinkled after being packed
Hang the jacket on a clothes hanger for a few hours. For persistent wrinkles, a very low heat iron on the reverse side, with a protective cloth, may be used carefully, but avoid direct high heat.
