FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Pack-It Jacket III is primarily designed for waterproof protection. It is lightweight and does not offer significant insulation. For cold weather, layering thermal base layers or a fleece jacket underneath is recommended.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Ensure the jacket is dry. Starting from the bottom, fold or roll the jacket as compactly as possible. Then, push it into the integrated stuff sack, usually located in a pocket, and zip it closed.
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
Isolite 10000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '10000' typically indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking, signifying good waterproof performance.
Can I wash this jacket with regular detergent?
It is recommended to use a mild detergent specifically designed for outdoor technical wear. Harsh detergents or fabric softeners can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?
Re-apply DWR treatment when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. This typically occurs after several washes or prolonged use, depending on the conditions.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in adult men's sizes, typically ranging from M, L, XL, XXL, to XXXL. Please refer to the specific product listing for exact size availability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear after cleaning. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Dry thoroughly and consider a zipper lubricant if needed.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This could be due to condensation if worn in high humidity or during strenuous activity without adequate ventilation. Ensure the hood and cuffs are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, the breathability might be compromised; check care instructions and ensure proper cleaning.
