Product Information
Full details
The Gelert Packaway Waterproof Jacket is designed for active adults who need reliable, lightweight rain protection while hiking or traveling. Its primary benefit is its highly portable, packable design that does not sacrifice weather resistance, featuring 5000 mm waterproofing and sealed seams; however, users should note that as a lightweight layer, it is primarily intended for rain defense rather than extreme thermal insulation.

FAQs
Is the jacket breathable?
While it is a functional waterproof layer, it is designed primarily for rain defense and may feel less breathable during high-exertion activities compared to specialized technical gear.
Does it come with a stuff sack?
The jacket is designed as a packable unit, meaning it is intended to fold into its own pocket or a compact bundle without needing a separate stuff sack.
Can I wear a fleece underneath?
Yes, the cut allows for layering, but ensure you select the correct size to maintain comfort while wearing mid-layers underneath.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but always follow the specific care instructions on the internal label. Use a gentle cycle and avoid fabric softeners.
What does 5000 mm waterproof mean?
This rating indicates the jacket can withstand a water column of 5000 mm before water begins to penetrate, which is generally sufficient for standard hiking and rain showers.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak through the fabric
Check if the jacket requires a wash to remove dirt or oil buildup, which can interfere with the DWR coating. If the coating is worn, consider applying a garment-specific water-repellent spray.
Hood keeps falling down during movement
Adjust the integrated drawstrings or toggles on the hood to tighten it securely around your head to prevent it from shifting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for immediate use. To maintain the 5000 mm waterproofing performance, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the protective coating. After wet use, allow the jacket to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before packing it away. Do not store the jacket while it is damp, as this may cause mold or damage the material over time. Regular cleaning should be done according to the garment care label, typically involving a cool wash cycle.
