Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a 1500mm waterproof rating with taped seams, which makes it highly effective against rain, though it is not intended for high-pressure water environments.
How do I pack the jacket?
Fold the jacket neatly and slide it into the matching storage bag included with the purchase.
Does it have a warm lining?
No, the Pakka II is a lightweight shell designed for rain and wind protection; it is best worn over layers in colder temperatures.
Can this be machine washed?
Yes, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs are elasticated, providing a snug, comfortable fit that seals out wind and rain without needing manual adjustment.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket for consistent coverage.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
This often means the water-repellent coating needs refreshing. Clean the jacket and use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically for synthetic technical fabrics.
Difficulty zipping the front
Check the internal stormflap to ensure the fabric has not become caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the flap away and zip carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Pakka II is designed for simple, immediate use. To pack the jacket away, fold it neatly and insert it into the included storage bag; compressing it helps remove trapped air for a smaller footprint. To maintain the waterproof coating, wash the jacket on a cool cycle using mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can strip away the breathable finish. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it for long periods to prevent mildew. The garment is compatible with various layering styles, fitting comfortably over standard sweaters or light sweatshirts.
