Regatta Brindel Hooded Pack-It Waterproof Jacket - Floral - Size: 8

The Regatta Brindel jacket is ideal for light to moderate rain showers. While it offers waterproof protection with taped seams, it's designed for convenience and portability rather than prolonged use in heavy downpours.

Regular washing with a suitable detergent (avoiding fabric softeners and bleach) and periodic re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish will help maintain its waterproof capabilities.

Yes, the elasticated cuffs and hem, along with the adjustable hood, help to provide protection against wind as well as rain.

The jacket is made from lightweight ISOLITE 15000 100% polyamide fabric, with a polyester mesh lining.

This jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. While it can be worn over other layers for added warmth, it does not have significant insulation and is best suited for milder temperatures when rain protection is needed.

The jacket packs down into its own dedicated lower pocket, making it very compact and easy to carry in a bag or backpack when not in use.

The ISOLITE 15000 fabric has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to escape.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof outerwear.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

This can happen if the fabric's pores are blocked by dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions, ensuring a thorough rinse. Check that the mesh lining is clean.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or loosely bunch the jacket first, then stuff it into the designated pocket. It may take a few tries to get it to fit neatly.
