Product Information
Full details
The Gelert Packaway Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult male hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable, lightweight weather protection that doesn't occupy unnecessary space in their luggage. This jacket provides a robust 5000mm waterproof rating and sealed seams to keep you dry during unexpected downpours, though its lightweight material is best suited for light-to-moderate rain rather than extreme, long-term torrential storm conditions.

FAQs
Is the jacket machine washable?
We recommend hand washing with a technical fabric cleaner to maintain the integrity of the waterproof coating.
Can this jacket be used in winter?
It is an effective outer shell for wind and rain, but it does not provide insulation, so it should be worn over appropriate warm base layers.
What is the sizing like?
This specific model is sized as an XXL; it is designed to fit over standard clothing layers comfortably.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is fixed for better water protection, though it is adjustable to fit securely.
Is the jacket breathable?
The lightweight polyester is designed for outdoor activities, but performance will depend on the humidity levels and your level of exertion.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric after long periods.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need reapplying with a technical spray treatment after heavy use.
The zip feels stiff or catches during operation.
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track and gently clean any dirt or grit from the teeth using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Gelert Packaway is designed for straightforward use. Simply pull it on over your standard hiking layers and secure the front full-zip fastening. To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, avoid machine washing with harsh detergents; instead, spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash in cool water with a technical fabric cleaner. Always allow the jacket to air dry completely before packing it away to prevent moisture buildup or fabric degradation.
