Product Information
Full details
This Regatta Waterproof Jacket Pack It III is designed for active kids who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is its lightweight, packable design that makes it easy to carry for unexpected showers. A potential consideration is that it's primarily designed for water repellency rather than heavy-duty waterproofing for prolonged downpours. The jacket features a breathable, moisture-wicking construction with a grown-on elasticated hood and full zip fastening.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water repellent with taped seams, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged or very heavy downpours, a jacket with higher waterproof ratings might be more appropriate.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
Can I put this jacket in the tumble dryer?
Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. This can also help to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
What does 'packaway' mean?
Packaway means the jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a very small size, making it easy to carry in a bag or pocket for convenience.
What is the breathability rating (g/m²/24hrs)?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, which allows a moderate amount of moisture vapor to escape.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the size guide provided, which often includes measurements for different age groups. For example, the 3-4 Years size has a chest measurement of approximately 21.5 inches.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for weather protection and is not heavily insulated. It can be layered over warmer clothing for cooler conditions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water repellent.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Re-proof the jacket using a suitable technical fabric re-proofer following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move.
Check the fabric around the zip for any snags. Gently try to move the zip up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zip teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure all vents (if any) are open and consider washing the jacket with a technical cleaner designed for outdoor gear to remove residue that might be blocking pores. Avoid using fabric softener.
