Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Kids' Pack It Jacket III is designed for young adventurers who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and lightweight coverage that packs away easily, making it ideal for school, travel, or spontaneous outdoor play. A minor consideration is that while waterproof, it is best suited for moderate rain rather than prolonged heavy downpours. This jacket utilizes advanced Isolite 15000 fabric with taped seams to ensure children stay dry and comfortable, and its packable design makes it incredibly convenient.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket offers good protection against moderate rain due to its Isolite 10000 fabric and taped seams. For very heavy or prolonged downpours, a more specialized technical shell might be needed.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Avoid using fabric softeners.
Can I put the jacket in the tumble dryer?
No, the jacket should not be put in a tumble dryer. It should be air-dried away from direct heat to preserve its waterproof and breathable properties.
Where is the stuff sack located?
The jacket packs into its own integrated stuff sack. Look for a small, zipped pocket within the jacket (often on the side seam or inside) where it can be folded and stored.
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
'Isolite 10000' refers to the waterproof and breathability rating of the fabric. '10000' typically indicates a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hr (MVTR - Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate).
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a shell jacket, meaning it is designed to protect from wind and rain. It does not have built-in insulation. You can layer warmer clothing underneath for colder weather.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in various kids' sizes. Please refer to the size chart or product listing for specific available sizes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Avoid wearing non-breathable layers underneath.
Seams appear to be leaking
Check if the taped seams are intact. For minor damage, a seam sealer for outdoor gear may help. If the damage is significant, the jacket's waterproof integrity may be compromised.
