Regatta Orla Kiely Pack-It Jacket - Green Tropical, Floral, 12

The Regatta Orla Kiely Pack-It Jacket features Isolite 5000 fabric and taped seams, providing reliable waterproof protection for light to moderate rain showers. For prolonged exposure to very heavy downpours, while it offers good protection, no lightweight 'pack-it' shell is designed for extreme torrential rain over extended periods without additional robust layering.

The jacket is designed to be packable into itself, typically a designated internal pocket. Info needed: [Confirm if it packs into its own pocket or if a separate pouch is included in the purchase.]

This jacket is a lightweight shell designed primarily for waterproof and breathable protection, not for warmth. For colder temperatures, it should be layered over insulating garments like a fleece or thermal top to provide the necessary warmth.

Yes, you can machine wash it cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning to maintain its waterproof and breathable properties and avoid damage to the fabric coating.

The Regatta Orla Kiely Pack-It Jacket is made from durable Polyester fabric, which contributes to its lightweight and quick-drying characteristics.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR re-proofing treatment for waterproof, breathable fabrics.

Ensure you are not overdressed underneath the jacket, as breathability can be overwhelmed by excessive internal moisture. Also, check that the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog pores and reduce breathability. If the issue persists after cleaning, re-proofing may also help.

Practice folding it tightly. Start by laying it flat, fold the sleeves in, then fold the sides inward to match the width of the hood. Roll or fold from the bottom up. Over time, the fabric may soften slightly, making it easier to pack. Ensure all air is squeezed out before final compression.
