FAQs
What age group is the Regatta Pack It Jacket III suitable for?
This specific variant is sized for children aged 10 years (UK size 10). Regatta offers this jacket in a wide range of children's sizes.
Is the jacket fully waterproof or just water-repellent?
The jacket is described as water-repellent with taped seams. This means it is highly resistant to water and suitable for rain, but it is not rated as fully waterproof for extreme conditions like prolonged submersion or very heavy, driving rain.
How do I pack the jacket away?
The jacket is designed to be packaway. Typically, you would fold it neatly and then stuff it into its own integrated pouch or a small pocket, making it compact for storage.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and does not have significant insulation. It is best worn as a protective outer layer in mild or wet conditions. For cold weather, layer it over warm clothing like fleece or insulated jackets.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, which indicates a good level of moisture vapor transfer, helping to keep the wearer comfortable during activity.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Consider using a re-waterproofing treatment periodically to maintain its effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a dedicated DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment, following the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can also apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Child feels clammy or too warm while wearing the jacket.
Ensure the garment is worn over breathable layers. The jacket's breathability may be reduced if heavily layered with non-breathable materials. Open the full zip slightly for ventilation if needed.
Jacket feels slightly wet inside after prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
While water-repellent, this jacket is designed for moderate conditions. For prolonged heavy downpours, consider a jacket with a higher waterproof rating. Ensure all zippers and seams are properly closed.
