This Regatta Pack It III Waterproof Jacket in Pink, size 7-8, is designed for active kids who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is being lightweight and packable, making it easy to carry on any adventure. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, it's primarily designed for light to moderate rain rather than prolonged downpours. Key features include waterproof and breathable fabric, taped seams, and a grown-on hood, ensuring comfort and dryness during outdoor play.

The jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and wind protection. While it can be layered over warm clothing, it does not provide significant insulation on its own and is best suited for mild to cool conditions or as an outer shell.
It is very easy to pack. The jacket is designed to fold down small, making it convenient to carry in a backpack, school bag, or even a pocket for unexpected weather changes.
This rating indicates how much water vapor can pass through the fabric per square meter over a 24-hour period. A rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs means the jacket is moderately breathable, suitable for active use and helping to prevent a build-up of moisture inside.
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, and do not iron or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry.
Waterproof means the fabric will prevent water from passing through, even under pressure. Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to shed water, preventing it from soaking in easily, but it may not withstand prolonged or heavy rain as effectively as a fully waterproof material.
The size 7-8 is intended for children typically aged between 7 and 8 years old, based on standard children's sizing. It's always recommended to check specific size charts if available.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and detergent residue. Re-apply a water-repellent finish using a suitable product designed for outdoor wear, following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
The grown-on hood has elastication to help it fit. Ensure it is pulled down fully over the head. If the elastic feels loose, it may indicate wear over time.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a dedicated zipper lubricant can help, applied carefully to the teeth.
This could be due to high humidity or the garment reaching its breathability limit during intense activity. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and the hood is used to prevent external moisture ingress. If the dampness persists, check the care instructions and ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the package.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for children and suitable for a range of outdoor activities. It can be layered over other clothing for added warmth.
Care Instructions:
Always follow the care label inside the garment for best results. Using a technical wash can help maintain the fabric's water-repellent properties.
