Regatta Pack-It III Waterproof Jacket - Brown

The jacket features Isolite 5000 fabric with taped seams, meaning it offers a hydrostatic head of 5000mm. This provides reliable waterproof protection against rain and showers.

Yes, the Isolite 5000 fabric is designed to be breathable, allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, which helps to keep you comfortable during activity and prevents clamminess.

First, ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry. Lay it flat, fold the sleeves inward, and then roll or fold the jacket compactly. Gently push it into its integrated stuff sack, starting from one end, until it's fully enclosed.

It's ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, attending festivals, light cycling, general outdoor pursuits, and as an emergency rain layer for travel or daily commuting.

The Regatta Pack-It III is primarily a lightweight waterproof and breathable shell jacket. It does not contain any specific insulating material, so it's best layered over warmer garments in colder conditions.

The product description mentions 'side pockets'. While the overall jacket is waterproof, specific waterproofing details for the pockets themselves (e.g., waterproof zippers or storm flaps) are not provided. It's generally best to store sensitive items in waterproof bags within the pockets for maximum protection.

Yes, the jacket is equipped with a toggle hood, allowing you to adjust the fit around your head for enhanced protection from wind and rain.

This can happen if the jacket's breathability is overwhelmed. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your body. Consider removing a mid-layer if you are overheating. Also, confirm the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is still effective; if water isn't beading on the surface, it may need re-treating.

Check the condition of the outer DWR coating. If water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading and rolling off, the DWR may need to be reapplied using a specialized product. Also, inspect for any damage or tears in the fabric or taped seams, especially after prolonged use.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold the jacket neatly and flat, then begin stuffing it into its bag from one end, pushing firmly but gently to expel air. Avoid excessive force which could damage the fabric.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Try lubricating the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil. Always zip up slowly and carefully.
