Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Pakka II Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer for children aged 7-8 who enjoy outdoor activities in unpredictable weather. Engineered with IsoDry fabric technology and taped seams, it provides reliable protection against rain while remaining lightweight enough to pack away into its own bag for easy transport. While it offers excellent value for wet-weather commutes or playground play, the 1500mm waterproof rating is best suited for light to moderate rain rather than heavy, sustained downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter snow?
This jacket is primarily a shell designed for rain. It does not provide significant insulation, so it is best used as an outer layer over warm mid-layers like fleece or sweaters.
How do I store the jacket in its bag?
The easiest method is to fold the jacket loosely and feed it into the bag, rather than trying to fold it into a precise square.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane and seam taping.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs are elasticated for a snug, comfortable fit that keeps out the elements, but they do not feature velcro adjusters.
What is the waterproof rating?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 1500mm, which is suitable for general wet-weather play and light rain showers.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on re-proofing treatment.
Zip feels stuck or difficult to move.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the stormflap area. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush.
Hood keeps falling down.
Utilize the adjustable toggles on the hood to tighten the fit around the child's head for a more secure seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance over time, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Hang dry in a well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry unless specified by the care label, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the taped seams for signs of peeling. If the water-repellent effect diminishes, use a re-proofing spray designed for technical outdoor gear.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its packaway bag to prevent mildew and odors.
