FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
The Pack-It Jacket III is designed as a waterproof shell and does not feature significant insulation. It is intended to be worn over other layers for warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing.
What does 'Isolite 10000' mean?
Isolite 10000 refers to Regatta's specific fabric technology, indicating a hydrostatic head of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before it starts to leak, signifying good waterproofness.
Can I wear this in heavy storms?
While the jacket offers good waterproofness for its category, it is best suited for moderate rain. For extreme conditions, a jacket with higher waterproof ratings and more robust features might be necessary.
How small does it pack down?
The jacket packs neatly into its own integrated stuff sack, making it very compact and easy to carry in a bag or pocket.
What sizes are available?

Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable to provide a better fit and enhanced protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur if the garment is heavily soiled or if the DWR has failed. Ensure the jacket is clean and that the breathability of the fabric is not compromised.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is free of debris. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper treatment if necessary.
