Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Pakka II Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer for active children who need reliable protection during unpredictable outdoor play. Featuring advanced IsoDry technology and a 1500mm waterproof rating, it keeps kids dry while remaining highly packable for school bags or travel. While it excels at shielding against wind and rain, it is designed primarily as a lightweight shell and may require additional insulating layers for extreme cold or heavy mountain conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

It is rated for 1500mm, which is effective for light to moderate rain showers. It is not intended for prolonged exposure to torrential downpours.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

No, it is recommended to air dry the jacket to preserve the integrity of the taped seams and waterproof coating.

Does the hood detach?

No, this model features a grown-on (fixed) hood designed to provide immediate protection and reduce weight.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to fold into its own dedicated internal bag or pocket, allowing it to become a compact pouch.

Is it windproof?

Yes, the dense weave of the IsoDry fabric provides excellent protection against cold winds.

What age does size 7-8 fit?

This size is typically designed for children aged 7 to 8 years old, though it is always best to check the fit against the child's height and build.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking through the fabric

The DWR coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical waterproof wash-in treatment to restore the water-beading performance.

Zip feels stiff or sticks

Clean any dirt or debris from the zip teeth using a soft brush. Ensure no fabric is caught in the stormflap.

Jacket feels damp inside

This is often caused by condensation during high-exertion activities. Ensure the child is not wearing too many synthetic layers, which can trap sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Pakka II remains effective, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry, as extreme heat may damage the waterproof seams.
  3. Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its pack-away bag to prevent mold or mildew.
  4. Compatibility: This jacket is designed to be worn over standard casual clothing or school uniforms. Its slim profile allows it to be worn under larger winter coats if added layering is needed during freezing conditions.
