Product Information
Full details
The Gelert Packaway Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult male hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable rain protection that doesn't sacrifice pack space. Its key benefit is the lightweight, packable construction paired with 5000 mm waterproofing to keep you dry in unexpected downpours. Note that while it excels in portability, it is a lightweight shell and may require additional insulating layers for extreme cold weather conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a 5000 mm waterproof rating and sealed seams to prevent water penetration during standard outdoor activities.
Does it come with a storage bag?
The jacket is designed as a packable unit, meaning it is constructed to fold into its own pocket or a compact shape for easy carrying.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, wash on a gentle, cool cycle with mild soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Is it suitable for winter sports?
It is a lightweight waterproof shell. While it will keep you dry, it does not offer insulation, so it is best used as an outer layer over warm clothes.
What material is it made of?
The jacket is constructed from durable, lightweight polyester.
How do I choose the right size?
This model follows standard adult male sizing; it is recommended to size up if you intend to wear thick mid-layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be worn off; apply a waterproof treatment spray to restore the water-beading effect.
Zippers feel stuck or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and clean any dirt or debris from the zipper track using a soft brush.
Jacket feels damp inside
This is likely due to condensation from sweat; ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers to improve airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, always ensure it is completely dry before folding it into its packaway state to prevent mildew. When cleaning, use a mild detergent and wash on a gentle cycle; avoid using harsh chemicals or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof coating. To maintain the 5000 mm waterproof integrity over time, consider using a technical garment re-proofer if you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
