FAQs

What does 'packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be easily folded into a small size, often into its own pocket or a separate pouch, making it very portable.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water repellent and features taped seams, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged or very heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproofing rating might be more appropriate.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the product description for a sizing guide that lists chest measurements for different age groups. It is recommended to measure your child and compare it to the provided dimensions.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for rain protection and is lightweight. For cold weather, it can be worn as an outer layer over insulating clothing such as fleece or jumpers.

What is the breathability rating?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, indicating good airflow to help keep the wearer comfortable during activity.

How should I clean the jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with fasteners closed. Avoid bleaching, dry cleaning, and use a low heat for tumble drying and ironing.

What colours is this jacket available in?

This specific product listing is for the black colour. However, the Regatta Pack It III jacket is often available in other colours like powder lilac, green, and blue, depending on the retailer and season.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not completely waterproof.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the storm flap is secured. Check that seams are intact. For heavy rain, consider a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating.

Child feels clammy or too warm.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath and that the full zip is open slightly if needed. The moisture-wicking properties work best when there is air circulation.

Hood does not stay up.

The elasticated edge is designed for a snug fit. Ensure the hood is pulled forward over the head. If it continuously slips, it might be due to the hairstyle or headwear underneath.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Follow the care instructions carefully. Tumble drying on a low heat or ironing on a low setting can help restore the fabric's feel. Avoid harsh detergents.
