FAQs
What is Isolite 10000 fabric?
Isolite 10000 is Regatta's own fabric technology that offers excellent waterproof and breathable performance, rated to withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allow 10,000g/m²/24hrs of moisture vapor to pass through.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. It is lightweight and offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers like fleece or a warm mid-layer.
How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, or if the jacket feels clammy even in dry conditions, it's time to consider re-proofing.
Is the hood detachable?
The product description indicates an adjustable hood, but does not specify if it is detachable. Typically, packaway jackets have fixed, adjustable hoods.
What sizes are available for this jacket?
This specific product listing is for size S. However, the Regatta Waterproof Pack-It III Jacket is available in a range of sizes, including M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL.
How compact is the jacket when packed?
The jacket is designed to pack neatly into its own stuff sack, making it very compact and easy to carry in a bag or pocket, ready for unexpected weather.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure all seams are intact. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for nylon and breathable fabrics. Check that zippers are fully closed and any toggles are tightened.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
The jacket may require cleaning to remove body oils and dirt that can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Ensure you are not wearing excessive insulating layers underneath in mild conditions, which can lead to condensation.
Stitching is coming undone.
For minor loose threads, carefully trim them. If significant stitching has come undone, especially on seams, it may compromise waterproofing and structural integrity. Contact customer support for potential repair options.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
