FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Regatta Pack-It III Jacket is a shell jacket designed for waterproofing and wind resistance, not for insulation. It is intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent or technical wash. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
Can I put this in a washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable following the care instructions provided (gentle cycle, mild detergent, cool tumble dry or air dry).
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
Isolite 10000 refers to the fabric's performance rating. '10000' typically indicates a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24h, signifying good protection against rain and reasonable breathability.
How small does it pack down?
The jacket is designed to pack neatly into its own dedicated stuff sack, making it very compact and easy to carry in a bag or pocket.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.
Can this jacket be worn over a thick fleece?
While it can be worn over a fleece, it is designed for a packable, lightweight fit. Wearing it over very bulky layers might feel restrictive. For over a standard fleece, it should be adequate.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof/breathable fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. If still stuck, apply a graphite pencil tip or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper area regularly.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This could be due to a lack of breathability if heavily soiled or if the DWR needs refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider reapplying DWR. Ensure the internal layers are not trapping moisture.
