FAQs
How waterproof is the Regatta Pack-It III Jacket?
This jacket features Isolite 5000 fabric with a 5000g/m²/24hrs water resistant rating and taped seams. This provides reliable protection against light to moderate rain and moisture, making it suitable for sudden showers, but it is not designed for heavy, prolonged downpours.
Is the jacket breathable for active use?
Yes, the jacket is designed with breathable Isolite fabric and includes a mesh lining to promote air circulation and ventilation. This helps manage moisture and prevent you from feeling clammy or overheating during light to moderate activity.
How compact is the jacket when packed?
The Regatta Pack-It III is specifically designed to be lightweight and highly packable. It folds easily into its own integrated storage bag, making it very compact and convenient to carry in a backpack, suitcase, or even a larger pocket.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is constructed from 100% Polyester, a durable and lightweight fabric commonly used for waterproof and breathable outerwear.
Does this jacket have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify the number or type of pockets on the Regatta Pack-It III Jacket. Please refer to product images or the physical garment for details on pocket availability.
Can I wear this jacket in colder weather?
The Regatta Pack-It III is a lightweight outer shell primarily designed for rain protection and breathability. While it offers some wind resistance, for colder weather, it should be layered over appropriate insulating mid-layers for warmth, as it does not provide significant insulation on its own.
What does 'taped seams' mean and why is it important?
Taped seams mean that a waterproof tape is applied over the stitching on the inside of the jacket. This is crucial because sewing needles create tiny holes in the fabric, which could allow water to leak through. Taping seals these holes, significantly enhancing the jacket's overall waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be seeping through the jacket
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. The jacket's 5000g/m²/24hrs water resistant rating is for light to moderate rain; for heavy, prolonged downpours, more robust protection may be required. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off; consider re-applying a technical DWR treatment.
Jacket feels clammy or uncomfortable inside
Despite its breathable design, intense physical activity can still generate internal moisture. Ensure you're not overdressed underneath. You can also try ventilating by partially unzipping the front, if conditions allow, to increase airflow.
Difficulty packing the jacket back into its integrated bag
Lay the jacket flat and smooth it out. Fold the sleeves neatly inwards. Then, fold the body of the jacket vertically to match the width of the bag's opening. Finally, roll or fold it tightly and systematically into the storage bag. Avoid simply stuffing it in.
The jacket's hood does not stay up or cover adequately
The Regatta Pack-It III features a pull-on hood. Ensure it is fully pulled over your head. While it offers basic protection, it might not have adjustable drawcords (Info needed: confirm hood adjustment features). If it consistently falls, try wearing a cap underneath to add structure.

Compatibility

It is made from Polyester and is intended to be worn as an outer shell, suitable for layering over light to medium base layers depending on the ambient temperature and activity level.
Care
> Info needed: Specific washing, drying, and general care instructions are essential for maintaining the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties over time. Always refer to the care label inside your jacket for the most accurate guidance. General recommendations for polyester waterproof jackets often include:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool (e.g., 30°C) gentle cycle with a technical outerwear cleaner, avoiding conventional detergents which can impair water repellency.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low setting may be an option if specified on the care label, but air drying is generally safer to preserve coatings.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or iron the jacket, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
