Product Information

Full details

The Gelert Packaway Hooded Jacket is designed for adult females seeking reliable weather protection during outdoor activities and travel. Its key benefit is its waterproof and packable nature, ensuring you stay dry and can easily store it when not needed. A potential caveat is its focus on being a lightweight shell, meaning additional layers may be necessary for significant warmth. This jacket offers essential rain protection, a toggle-adjustable hood, and a storm flap, all while folding into a compact form for ultimate convenience.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers reliable rain protection due to its waterproof technology and moisture-repelling treatment. While suitable for rain, it is a lightweight shell and may not provide the same level of protection as a heavy-duty rain suit in extreme downpours.

How do I pack the jacket into its compact form?

To pack the jacket, turn it inside out and fold it neatly. It typically folds into an integrated pocket or a separate small pouch, making it easy to store in a bag.

Can I wear a thick jumper underneath?

Yes, the jacket is designed with a comfortable fit that allows space for layering. You can comfortably wear a lighter jumper or fleece underneath for added warmth.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester, which ensures durability and long-lasting wear.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Does the hood offer adjustable fit?

Yes, the hood features toggles that allow you to adjust the fit for better coverage and comfort against wind and rain.

What does 'Packaway' mean?

'Packaway' refers to the jacket's ability to be easily folded and stored into a compact size, ideal for carrying when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

Clean the jacket to remove dirt and oils that can affect performance. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper track and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax for smoother operation.

Hood toggles are loose or not holding their position.

Check if the toggles are damaged. If they are functional, ensure the drawstrings are threaded correctly and tightened securely. Some toggles may have a locking mechanism to be engaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack it and wear it. To pack it away, turn the jacket inside out and fold it into its designated compact form, often a small pouch or integrated pocket.

Compatibility: While the jacket is a standalone piece, it pairs well with base layers or mid-layers for added warmth. It is suitable for adult female wearers and is designed for general outdoor use.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating. Re-waterproofing treatments can be applied periodically according to product instructions if performance diminishes.
