The Gelert Packaway Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for kids who need reliable protection during unpredictable weather on school trips or outdoor excursions. Its primary benefit is the highly portable, lightweight packable design that ensures children are never caught unprepared in the rain, though it is specifically optimized for light to moderate downpours rather than extreme mountain conditions. Made from durable polyester with a 5000 mm waterproof rating, this jacket balances essential weather resistance with ease of use for active youngsters.

No, this is a lightweight waterproof shell designed to keep you dry and act as a windbreaker; it does not feature heavy thermal insulation.
Yes, it is machine washable at 40 degrees. It is recommended to use a mild detergent.
This rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000 mm column of water over a day before moisture begins to penetrate the surface.
Yes, it features an integrated hood to protect the head from rain.
Yes, its packable nature makes it ideal for keeping in a school bag for unpredictable weather.
The pockets are zipped to keep items secure, but they are not strictly sealed waterproof compartments, so avoid keeping moisture-sensitive electronics in them during heavy rain.
The DWR finish may have worn off; wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR-safe re-proofing spray.
Check for fabric stuck in the teeth. Gently clean any dirt or debris from the zipper track using a soft brush.
Ensure the garment is hung in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to dry completely.
The Gelert Packaway jacket is designed for immediate use right out of the box; there is no complex setup required beyond ensuring the correct size is chosen for the child. To maintain the waterproof efficacy, the jacket is machine washable at 40 degrees. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as these can degrade the DWR coating over time. When not in use, ensure the jacket is fully dry before packing it away into its compact state to prevent mildew or odors. If the water repellent properties seem to fade after many washes, a standard re-proofing spray can be applied to the exterior fabric to restore performance.
