Regatta Orla Kiely Pack-It Jacket - Green Tropical, Size 10

No, the Regatta Orla Kiely Pack-It Jacket is a lightweight shell designed for waterproof and breathable protection, not insulation. For warmth in cold conditions, it should be worn over insulating layers like a fleece or thermal top.

The jacket follows standard UK women's dress sizing. It's recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart (if available) and consider if you intend to wear thick layers underneath, which might warrant sizing up.

Info needed: The product description does not explicitly specify if this jacket has pockets. Pack-it jackets often have minimal pockets (sometimes one internal or external) to maintain their lightweight and packable nature. Please check the product details or images for visual confirmation.

Isolite 5000 is a lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric technology developed by Regatta. The '5000' typically refers to a hydrostatic head of 5000mm, indicating its waterproof rating, while also allowing moisture vapor to escape for comfort.

Yes, it can typically be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. However, it's crucial to use a technical wash specifically designed for waterproof fabrics and avoid standard detergents, bleach, or fabric softener. Always refer to the jacket's internal care label for precise instructions.

No, it is strongly recommended not to tumble dry this jacket. High heat can damage the waterproof coating and taped seams. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat.

First, ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. If water is soaking into the fabric, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reapplication. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR reproofing product.

This often indicates that the jacket's breathability is being overwhelmed, possibly due to high activity levels or incorrect layering. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture. If temperatures are warm and activity is high, open the main zipper slightly for ventilation if possible (though pack-it jackets often lack pit zips).

Practice folding the jacket neatly. Lay it flat, fold the sleeves inward, and then roll or fold it tightly from the bottom up. For pack-it jackets, a consistent folding technique is key to achieving the smallest packed size. Look for any internal stuff sack or pocket if available for packing.
