FAQs

Is the Regatta Orla Pack-It Jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is made with waterproof Isolite 5000 fabric and features fully taped seams, ensuring complete waterproof protection against rain.

How breathable is this jacket?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 5,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it allows a good amount of moisture vapor to escape, helping to keep you comfortable during activity.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket is a lightweight shell designed for waterproof and breathable protection, not insulation. For cold weather, it should be worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers like fleeces or down jackets.

How do I pack the jacket into its storage bag?

Lay the jacket flat, fold the sleeves inwards, and then fold or roll the main body of the jacket compactly to fit into the integrated storage bag. It's designed for easy portability.

Does the jacket have pockets?

The product description focuses on its shell and packable nature and does not specify pockets. Typically, minimalist pack-it jackets may have limited or no pockets to reduce bulk. > Info needed: Please check the product images or contact customer service for precise pocket details.

How should I wash the Orla Pack-It Jacket?

> Info needed: Always check the care label inside your specific jacket for detailed washing instructions. Generally, waterproof breathable garments should be washed on a gentle cycle with a technical cleaner and air-dried, avoiding fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp or clammy inside during activity.

This could indicate that your inner layers are not wicking moisture effectively, or that the jacket's breathability is being overwhelmed. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers. If the outer fabric is saturated, clean the jacket to restore its DWR coating.

Water is not beading on the jacket's surface anymore.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be worn off or contaminated. Clean the jacket according to the care instructions. If cleaning doesn't restore beading, re-apply a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof breathable fabrics.

Jacket is difficult to pack into its storage bag.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack. Lay it flat, smooth out all wrinkles, and fold neatly before rolling or stuffing it into the bag. Practice makes perfect – a systematic folding approach helps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Packing and Unpacking

The most notable 'setup' for this jacket is its packability. To pack the jacket:

  1. Lay the jacket flat and smooth it out.
  2. Fold the sleeves inward towards the center.
  3. Fold the jacket lengthwise into thirds or halves, depending on the size of the integrated storage bag.
  4. Roll or stuff the folded jacket into its designated storage bag. This ensures a compact and portable package.

To unpack, simply remove from the bag and shake gently to release any creases.

Compatibility

This jacket is a versatile shell designed to be worn over various layers. It is suitable for:

  • Layering: Wear over t-shirts, fleeces, or light sweaters depending on temperature.
  • Activities: Compatible with urban wear, light hiking gear, and travel outfits.
  • Climate: Best suited for mild to cool, wet conditions where waterproof protection and breathability are paramount, rather than warmth.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's performance and appearance.

> Info needed: Always refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for the most accurate washing and drying instructions. Generally, for waterproof and breathable fabrics, it is recommended to:

  • Wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics, or a mild detergent.
  • Wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C).
  • Do not use fabric softener, as it can impair the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
  • Air dry away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low setting might be possible, but always check the label.
  • Do not iron or dry clean.

Regular cleaning helps maintain the jacket's breathability and water repellency. Over time, you may need to re-proof the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
