Product Information
Full details
The Gelert Packaway Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable, lightweight rain protection that won't take up valuable space in their pack. This jacket offers a solid 5000mm waterproof rating and sealed seams to keep you dry during unexpected downpours; however, because it is designed primarily for portability and packability, it may not provide the same level of thermal insulation or heavy-duty abrasion resistance as thicker, multi-layer technical shells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always shake off excess water before packing it away. When cleaning, avoid harsh detergents that can degrade the waterproof coating; a gentle rinse or wipe with a damp cloth is often sufficient. If washing, use a dedicated technical gear cleaner and a gentle cycle. For best results, store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent mildew growth. The generous sizing, including options up to XXXXL, allows for comfortable layering over lightweight mid-layers or fleeces.
