Regatta Great Outdoors Childrens/Kids Pack It Jacket III Waterproof Packaway - Green - 7-8

This rating indicates the amount of water vapor (in grams) that can pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period. A rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs suggests moderate breathability, suitable for general active use.

Refer to the 'Size Guide' section in the product description. It provides chest measurements in inches for different age groups. It's recommended to measure your child's chest and compare it to the guide.

The jacket is described as 'water repellent' with 'taped seams', which indicates it is designed to resist water penetration effectively, especially in showers. For extreme conditions or prolonged heavy rain, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more suitable.

The hood is described as 'Grown On', meaning it is attached to the jacket and cannot be removed.

The jacket is designed to be 'packaway', meaning it can be folded into its own pocket or a small pouch, making it very compact for storage in a backpack or bag.

The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, which is known for its durability and water-repellent qualities.

This is a lightweight shell jacket. It provides protection from wind and rain but offers minimal insulation. It can be layered over warmer clothing for added warmth in colder conditions.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider using a technical wash or re-waterproofer spray designed for outdoor clothing. Always follow the product instructions for application.

While water-repellent, this jacket is best suited for showers. For extended periods in heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating may be necessary. Ensure the full zip is securely fastened and the hood is properly adjusted.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialised zip lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
