Product Information
Full details
The Gelert Packaway Waterproof Jacket is designed for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable, lightweight weather protection that doesn't occupy much space in a backpack. Providing 5000mm waterproofing and essential features like sealed seams, it is an ideal choice for unpredictable weather; however, users should note that it is intended as a lightweight shell rather than a heavy-duty thermal winter coat.

Troubleshooting
Jacket feels wet inside
This is often caused by trapped body perspiration; ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers for better breathability.
Water soaking into the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a specialized water-repellent spray to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains effective, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The L-size jacket is designed for adult males; ensure you have enough room underneath for layering if needed.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its packable form to prevent moisture buildup or odor.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the sealed seams. If the jacket loses its water-repellent properties over time, you can apply a standard technical wash-in waterproofing treatment.
