FAQs
Is this set machine washable?
It is recommended to wipe it clean with a damp cloth to preserve the waterproof coating. If machine washing is necessary, use a delicate cycle with a technical detergent.
Can these be worn over jeans?
Yes, the trousers are designed as over-trousers with a loose fit to accommodate clothing underneath.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a packaway design that stows into the collar of the jacket.
Are the trousers elasticated?
Yes, the over-trousers feature an elasticated waistband for a comfortable and secure fit over regular pants.
What does 1500mm waterproof mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 1500mm column of water before moisture begins to penetrate, suitable for light-to-moderate rain.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through during heavy rain
The 1500mm rating is for light rain; avoid extended exposure to downpours and re-apply a DWR spray if the fabric stops beading water.
Difficulty folding into the carry bag
Ensure all air is smoothed out of the jacket and trousers while rolling them tightly rather than folding them in squares.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Pakka set, always allow the gear to air dry completely before packing it into the storage bag. Do not store the item while damp, as this can encourage mildew. When cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe off surface mud. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. If the water-repellent performance begins to fade over time, you can re-treat the nylon fabric with a commercially available DWR spray wash to restore its original functionality.
