FAQs
What does 'Isolite 5000' and '5,000mm water column' mean?
Isolite 5000 refers to Regatta's lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric technology. A 5,000mm water column rating indicates the fabric's resistance to water pressure; it means a column of water 5,000 millimeters high can be placed on the fabric before water starts to seep through. This provides reliable protection in moderate rain.
Is this jacket suitable for cold weather?
The Regatta Pack-It III is a lightweight waterproof shell, primarily designed for rain protection and breathability. It offers very minimal insulation. For cold weather, you would need to wear insulating layers underneath, but it is not intended for extreme cold conditions.
How do I know what size to choose?
The jacket features a standard fit, designed to be worn comfortably over typical clothing. For best results, we recommend checking the Regatta size guide (if available) and comparing it to your usual jacket size. If you plan on significant layering, consider sizing up.
Does it have internal pockets?
The product description mentions two convenient external pockets. There are no internal pockets explicitly stated for this model.
Can I use this jacket for active sports like running?
Yes, its lightweight and breathable design makes it suitable for moderately active pursuits like hiking, fast walking, or light jogging in the rain. However, for high-intensity running, you might prefer jackets with even higher breathability ratings or specific ventilation features.
What is the jacket made from?
The Regatta Pack-It III Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% polyamide material, which contributes to its lightweight and durable waterproof properties.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem fully waterproof anymore.
Ensure all zippers are completely closed and the hood is properly adjusted. Over time, the outer fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. While the Isolite 5000 fabric provides internal waterproofing, re-treating the outer surface with a spray-on or wash-in DWR product can restore its original water-shedding properties.
Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket.
While breathable, the jacket works best with appropriate layering. Ensure your base and mid-layers are wicking fabrics that move moisture away from your body. Avoid cotton, which retains moisture. Adjust activity level if necessary, or open the main zipper slightly for ventilation if conditions allow.
Difficulty packing the jacket back into its bag.
Practice makes perfect! Lay the jacket flat, fold the sleeves inward, and then fold the sides towards the center, making a long, narrow rectangle. Start rolling tightly from the bottom hem towards the hood. Squeeze out air as you roll, then carefully stuff it into the bag.
Jacket appears wrinkled after unpacking.
This is normal for a pack-away item. The wrinkles will naturally relax with wear. Hanging the jacket in a humid environment (like a bathroom during a shower) can help speed up the process.
Pros and Cons

- Packs conveniently into its own bag for easy storage.
- Versatile for a wide range of outdoor activities and changeable weather.
Cons
- Offers limited insulation; not suitable as a primary cold-weather jacket.

- Durability, while good for its class, may not match heavy-duty shell jackets.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Remove the jacket from its integrated stuff sack. It may be slightly creased initially, but this will smooth out with wear.
- Wear: Put on the jacket over your base layers or mid-layers. The standard fit is designed for comfortable movement.
- Adjust Hood: Pull on the hood for additional head protection if needed. Ensure it's positioned comfortably.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for versatility. It pairs well with light to medium base and mid-layers, making it suitable for temperate to mild cool weather. Its lightweight nature means it can be comfortably worn over anything from a t-shirt to a thin fleece.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Regatta Pack-It III Jacket.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Use a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
- Drying: Hang to air dry, away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low setting is generally acceptable for polyamide, but air drying is preferred to preserve fabric integrity and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating if present.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching & Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean.
- Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it into its stuff sack for storage to prevent mildew.
