Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Pakka II Waterproof Jacket is an ideal choice for active kids who need reliable protection during outdoor play in unpredictable weather. Utilizing proprietary IsoDry fabric and fully taped seams, it offers a functional 1500mm waterproof rating that keeps moisture at bay while remaining lightweight. While it is highly practical for light rain and general outdoor activities, it is worth noting that its 1500mm rating is best suited for moderate showers rather than extreme, prolonged downpours.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
It is rated at 1500mm, which is excellent for light to moderate rain showers, but it is not intended for extreme, prolonged torrential downpours.
Does it come with a storage bag?
Yes, it includes a convenient packaway bag for easy storage.
How do I clean the jacket?
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the waterproof coating.
Is the hood removable?
No, the jacket features a grown-on hood, which means it is permanently attached to the collar.
Can this be worn in winter?
The jacket is a thin, waterproof shell. It can be worn in winter if layered correctly over warm sweaters or fleece garments.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking through the fabric.
Check if the jacket requires a wash to remove dirt or a re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the outer coating.
The zip feels stiff or catches.
Ensure the fabric storm flap is not trapped in the zip teeth and clear any debris from the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the Pakka II is straightforward: simply unfold it from its storage bag and zip up. To maintain the waterproof efficacy of the IsoDry fabric, ensure you follow these care guidelines: wash on a gentle cycle at low temperatures and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent coating. It is recommended to air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface after a season of heavy use, you may apply a specialized waterproof re-proofer spray to maintain its performance.
