FAQs

How waterproof is the Regatta Pack-It III Jacket?

It features Regatta's Isolite 5000 fabric, which is waterproof, and has taped seams. This provides reliable protection against light to moderate rain, making it suitable for unexpected showers and general wet weather.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

The Pack-It III is a lightweight shell designed primarily for waterproof and breathable protection, not insulation. For warmth in winter, you will need to wear appropriate thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers underneath it.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, it is typically machine washable. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions, but generally, use a cold wash with a technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics and avoid fabric softeners.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket is equipped with side pockets for convenient storage of small essentials.

What does 'packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the jacket can be folded and stored neatly into its own integrated pocket or stuff sack, making it very compact and easy to carry when not being worn.

What is Isolite 5000 fabric?

Isolite 5000 is a Regatta-developed lightweight polyester fabric that is both waterproof and breathable. The '5000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its level of waterproofness.

What is the fit of the jacket?

This jacket features a 'Regular fit,' which is designed for comfort and allows for standard layering without being too tight or too loose.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels clammy inside despite being breathable.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers that wick moisture. Overheating or wearing non-breathable layers underneath can reduce the jacket's effective breathability. Slow down your activity level if possible.

Water is not beading off the fabric; it's soaking in.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be revitalized. Follow the care instructions, and if the issue persists after washing, consider applying a dedicated DWR reproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Zipper is stiff or stuck.

Gently try to clear any fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like beeswax or a silicone-based product) can help smooth its operation. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket is difficult to pack away into its own bag.

Practice makes perfect. Try to fold the jacket neatly and consistently. Expel as much air as possible as you fold and stuff it into the bag. Start from one end and compress tightly.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the toggle cord(s) on the hood to create a tighter fit around your face and head. This helps prevent the hood from blowing off in windy conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and portable due to its packaway design.
  • Reliable waterproof and breathable performance with Isolite 5000 fabric and taped seams.
  • Versatile for a wide range of outdoor activities like hiking, walking, and festivals.
  • Offers quick and convenient protection against sudden changes in weather.
  • Side pockets provide practical storage for small items.
  • Easy to layer over other clothing for adaptable warmth.

Cons

  • Provides minimal insulation, requiring additional layers for warmth in cold conditions.
  • The regular fit might be snug if worn over bulky mid-layers.
  • Material (Polyester) may not offer the same heavy-duty abrasion resistance as more robust outdoor jackets.
  • Info needed: Specific hydrostatic head and breathability ratings for precise performance metrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpacking: When first used, unfold the jacket from its stuff sack.
  2. Adjust Fit: Zip up the front. Adjust the toggle hood for a snug fit around your head if required.
  3. Cuffs: The elasticated cuffs will naturally provide a comfortable seal around your wrists.

Compatibility

  • Layering: This jacket is designed as an outer shell. For warmth in colder weather, layer appropriate base and mid-layers (e.g., fleece, thermal tops) underneath. Its regular fit accommodates light to medium layering.
  • Activities: Suitable for hiking, walking, cycling (light use), dog walking, festivals, and general outdoor pursuits.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your waterproof jacket:

  1. Washing: Always refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash cold with a technical wash designed for waterproof breathable fabrics. Avoid biological detergents, fabric softeners, and bleach, as these can compromise the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Drying: Line dry away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry unless specifically instructed by the care label, and only on a low heat setting if allowed.
  3. Reproofing: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the fabric may wear off, causing water to 'wet out' rather than bead. You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in reproofing product designed for waterproof outerwear.
  4. Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it into its stuff sack or storing it. Store in a cool, dry place.
