Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Pack It III waterproof jacket is designed for active kids aged 7-8 years, offering excellent protection from the elements during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is reliable waterproofing with taped seams and breathable fabric, making it suitable for hiking, walking, and festivals. A minor consideration is that while waterproof, it is a lightweight shell and may not provide significant warmth on its own.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Pack It III is a lightweight waterproof shell. It is designed to keep you dry and protected from wind and rain, but offers minimal insulation. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warm, insulating clothing.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Start by laying the jacket flat and smoothing out any wrinkles. Begin rolling the jacket tightly from the hem upwards. Once rolled, place it into the provided stuff sack and zip it closed.
What does 'Isotex 5000' mean?
Isotex 5000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '5000' rating indicates it can withstand 5000mm of water pressure, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain, and also refers to its breathability rating.
Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?
Yes, a small amount of mild liquid detergent can be used. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
What is the best way to re-waterproof the jacket?
After washing and rinsing thoroughly, you can apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment spray or wash-in product. Follow the specific instructions on the DWR product packaging.
What if the jacket's hood is too large?
The jacket features an integrated hood designed to fit over the head. While it cannot be adjusted in size, it is designed to stay securely in place during windy or wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or oils. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if necessary, following product instructions. Check that taped seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and body oils can clog the fabric's pores. Avoid wearing heavy cotton layers underneath, which can hold moisture.
