Full details
This Regatta Kids' Pack-It Jacket III is designed for young adventurers who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, breathable comfort that keeps kids dry during rainy-day activities.

FAQs
What does Isolite 15000 mean?
Isolite 15000 refers to Regatta's fabric technology that offers a high level of waterproofing (15000mm rating) and breathability, suitable for wet weather conditions.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is designed for waterproof protection and is lightweight. For cold winter weather, it is recommended to layer warm clothing underneath, such as fleece or insulated garments.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or tumble drying.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
No, tumble drying is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric. Always air dry.
What is the DWR finish?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a special coating applied to the outer fabric that makes water bead up and roll off, helping to keep the jacket dry and breathable.
How large is the stuff sack?
The jacket packs into its own integrated stuff sack, making it compact and easy to carry in a backpack. The exact dimensions of the packed jacket are not specified but are designed for portability.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a grown-on hood with elastication around the edge to provide a secure fit and protection from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof anymore.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear following the product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is adjusted to prevent drafts. If the child is very active, some internal condensation is normal due to body moisture, but the breathability should manage it. Check that vents, if present, are not blocked.
Difficult to pack into its stuff sack.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to stuff it. Small children might need assistance to pack it neatly.
