Product Information

Full details

The Gelert Packaway Hooded Jacket is designed for adult women seeking reliable weather protection that is both lightweight and highly portable. Its key benefit is its ability to pack into a compact form, making it ideal for travel and unpredictable weather. A potential caveat is that while it offers rain protection, it may not be suitable for heavy downpours or extreme cold without additional layers. This jacket features waterproof technology, a toggle-adjustable hood, storm flap, and elastic cuffs for comfort and coverage, all constructed from 100% Polyester.

FAQs

What material is the jacket made of?

The Gelert Packaway Hooded Jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

How do I pack the jacket for storage?

The jacket is designed to fold into a compact form. Locate the internal pocket or the designated packing area and follow the internal instructions or simply fold it neatly to fit.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers reliable rain protection with its waterproof technology and moisture-repelling treatment. However, for prolonged or very heavy downpours, additional waterproof gear might be advisable.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

The jacket is a lightweight shell and does not provide significant insulation on its own. It is designed to be layered, so you can wear a jumper or fleece underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.

How should I clean the jacket?

It is machine washable at a low temperature (30°C/40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying and ironing.

What if the jacket's color is not what I expected?

Colors can sometimes appear differently on screens. If you are unhappy with the color, please refer to the return policy of the retailer.

Does the hood offer full coverage?

Yes, the hood is toggle-adjustable and designed to offer full coverage along with elastic cuffs to help shield you from the elements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

The waterproof treatment may have worn off. Consider reproofing the jacket with a suitable outdoor fabric spray or wash. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect water repellency.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside after wearing

This could be due to condensation if worn in very humid conditions, or if the garment is not breathable enough for intense activity. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated if possible, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Elastic cuffs have lost their tightness

Elastic can degrade over time with wear and washing. There is no simple fix for worn-out elastic; consider professional repair if this is a significant issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent portability due to its packable design.
  • Provides reliable protection against rain and wind.
  • Adjustable hood and storm flap enhance weather defense.
  • Durable polyester material ensures longevity.
  • Suitable for layering with a jumper for extra warmth.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient insulation for very cold weather.
  • Primarily designed for rain protection, not extreme downpours.
  • Style may be basic for those seeking high-fashion outerwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack it from its compact form and wear it.

Compatibility:

While not explicitly stated, the jacket is designed for adult women. Its unisex construction means it can be worn by anyone looking for basic weather protection. It is compatible with layering, allowing you to wear sweaters or fleece jackets underneath for added warmth.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine washable at a low temperature (typically 30°C or 40°C). Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. It is best to air dry the jacket, preferably on a hanger.
  3. Ironing: Avoid ironing. If necessary, use a very low heat setting and iron on the reverse side.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding and packing away to prevent mildew.
