Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Pack It III kids' waterproof jacket is designed for young adventurers needing reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering lightweight, waterproof, and breathable coverage that packs away easily, making it ideal for unpredictable weather during outdoor activities. A minor caveat is that its unlined nature may offer less insulation in very cold conditions. This jacket utilizes Isotex 5000 fabric with sealed seams for complete waterproof protection and a long-lasting water-repellent finish. It features a fixed elasticated hood, elasticated cuffs and waist for a snug fit, and two lower pockets. The jacket's standout feature is its ability to pack into an integrated tote for convenient storage.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of this jacket?
The main advantage is its excellent balance of being lightweight, fully waterproof, breathable, and highly packable, making it convenient for unpredictable weather and travel.
How do I pack the jacket into its bag?
The jacket typically packs into an integrated stuff sack. You usually turn the jacket inside out from a specific pocket or seam, then stuff the jacket into it and compress.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is designed primarily for waterproof protection and is unlined, offering minimal insulation. It is best worn as an outer shell over warmer layers during colder months.
What does Isotex 5000 mean?
Isotex 5000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable technology. The '5000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 5000mm, meaning it can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before leaking, and a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24 hours, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric.
Can this jacket be used for sports?
Yes, its breathable and waterproof properties make it suitable for various outdoor sports and activities where staying dry and comfortable is important.
How should I clean the jacket?
You should machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Reshape while damp and iron on a cool setting if needed. Remember to re-proof it occasionally to maintain water repellency.
What sizes are available?
This specific listing is for Kids Size 2-3. The Regatta Pack It jacket is available in a range of kids' sizes, and other colors and sizes may be available through different listings or sibling products.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions, typically after washing and drying the jacket.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists after cleaning and checking, contact customer support as there might be a manufacturing defect.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can happen if the jacket's breathability is overwhelmed by high activity levels or if the inner lining (if any) is damp. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and cuffs are secured. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
