FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Regatta Pack It Jacket III is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. It offers excellent protection from the elements but provides minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is best worn over warm layers like fleece or a jumper.
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Locate the integrated stuff sack (often a pocket that turns inside out). Start by folding or scrunching the jacket into a compact shape, then push it into the stuff sack. Zip or secure the sack once the jacket is inside.
What does 'Isolite 15000' mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's technical fabric performance standard. The '15000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 15,000mm high before leaking. This signifies good to excellent waterproofing.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. It is crucial to avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Please refer to the retailer or Regatta's official website for specific warranty information, as this can vary by region and purchase date.
Is the jacket fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is described as waterproof, featuring Isolite 15000 fabric and taped seams, which offer a high level of protection against rain.
What ages does the 'Kids' sizing typically cover?
The 'Kids' sizing generally covers a range from approximately 5 years up to 14 years. Specific size charts should be consulted for exact measurements (e.g., 5-6 Years, 7-8 Years, 9-10 Years, 11-12 Years, 14 Years).
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider re-proofing the jacket with a suitable product designed for technical outerwear.
Jacket is not breathable / child feels clammy
Make sure the jacket is not too tight and that the inner layers are also breathable. Wash the jacket to remove any residue that might be blocking the pores of the fabric. Check that all vents (if any) are open.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper area with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth.
Jacket smells after use
Wash the jacket promptly after use, following the recommended care instructions. Ensure it is fully dry before storing.
