Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Waterproof Jacket Pack It III is designed for adult females seeking reliable weather protection without bulk. Its key benefit is its lightweight, packaway design, making it ideal for travel or unpredictable weather. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, its breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs may be less suitable for high-intensity activities where maximum ventilation is required. It features Isolite 5000 fabric, taped seams, an adjustable hood, and practical side pockets.

FAQs
What does 'Isolite 5000' mean?
Isolite 5000 refers to Regatta's fabric technology that provides waterproof and breathable protection, with a rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs for breathability and a waterproof rating that ensures it keeps you dry.
How do I know if this jacket will fit me?
The jacket is available in various UK women's dress sizes. Refer to the product sizing chart and your own measurements to select the correct size. The described variant is a UK size 22.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It is lightweight and does not offer significant insulation. For cold weather, it's best used as an outer shell layered over warm mid-layers.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
What does 'packaway' mean?
'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a very compact size, making it easy to store in a small bag or pocket for travel or emergencies.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
You should re-waterproof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is starting to soak into the fabric. This typically depends on usage and care, but can be anywhere from several months to a year.
Are the taped seams durable?
Yes, the taped seams are designed to provide long-lasting waterproof integrity, preventing water from seeping through the stitch lines.
Troubleshooting
Jacket does not feel fully waterproof anymore
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a waterproofing treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur during high exertion. Ensure all zippers are closed except for ventilation points if available. Consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Jacket is taking a long time to dry
Ensure the jacket is not spun on a high setting. Hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Check care label for specific drying instructions.
