FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Isolite 15000 fabric?
Isolite 15000 fabric provides a balance of waterproof protection and breathability, keeping children dry from rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape, thus maintaining comfort during activity.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Lay the jacket flat, fold in the sleeves, and fold the main body from the bottom up until it's compact enough to fit into the integrated stuff sack, which is usually located in one of the pockets.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Pack-It Jacket III is designed as a lightweight, waterproof shell. It provides protection from rain but offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it should be layered over warmer clothing like fleece or thermal wear.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or hang dry.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. Re-apply a DWR finish when water no longer beads on the surface but instead soaks into the fabric. This is typically after several washes or when performance noticeably decreases.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that the seams of the jacket have been sealed with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes created during stitching, ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof.
Is this jacket suitable for very young children?
The jacket is designed for children and is available in various kids' sizes. Its lightweight and packable nature makes it practical for everyday use by children.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt and detergent residue. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish using a wash-in or spray-on product suitable for waterproof fabrics. Follow re-proofing product instructions carefully.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite no rain
This can be due to a lack of breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores. Try washing and re-proofing. Also, ensure only breathable layers are worn underneath.
Packaway stuff sack is difficult to use
Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and compactly before attempting to stuff it. Practice folding it in a consistent manner to achieve the smallest size for the sack.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. To utilize the packaway feature, lay the jacket flat, fold the sleeves in, and then fold the body in half or thirds, starting from the bottom hem, until it fits into the integrated stuff sack usually located in a pocket or attached to the jacket.
Compatibility:
This jacket is designed for general outdoor wear and is suitable for layering over other clothing. It is compatible with most children's outerwear and backpacks.
Care Instructions:
To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C, using a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can impair the fabric's performance.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Once dry, a gentle tumble dry for 20 minutes can help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, use a technical wash-in or spray-on re-proofer according to product instructions, typically after several washes.
