FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The Regatta Pack-It Jacket III is an unlined, waterproof shell. It provides protection from wind and rain but offers no insulation. For colder weather, it should be worn over warm layers like fleeces or insulated jackets.
How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying the jacket, you can apply a wash-in or spray-on water-repellent treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions. This helps maintain the DWR finish and optimal performance.
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
Isolite 10000 refers to the fabric technology used, indicating a waterproof rating of 10,000mm and a breathability rating of 10,000/m²/24 hours. This means it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and allows 10,000g of water vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours.
Can this jacket be worn by boys and girls?
While the product information specifies gender in some variants, the core design of the Pack-It Jacket III is generally unisex and suitable for any child needing waterproof protection.
What is the benefit of taped seams?
Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied over the stitches on the inside of the jacket. They prevent water from seeping through the needle holes, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Wash the jacket as needed, for example, when it becomes dirty or its water-repellent properties appear diminished. Follow the care instructions to maintain its performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Check if the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be reapplied. Wash according to care instructions, as detergent residue can affect performance.
Jacket feels damp inside after wear
This can be due to internal condensation. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing away.
Jacket is difficult to pack down small
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold it neatly following any existing creases or fold lines to achieve maximum compactness.
