Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Pakka II Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer for active children aged 5-6 who need reliable, portable weather protection. Utilizing IsoDry fabric technology, this jacket offers a 1500mm waterproof rating and taped seams to ensure kids stay dry during unexpected downpours; however, it is designed primarily as a lightweight shell, meaning it does not provide significant thermal insulation for extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle. Avoid fabric softeners.
Does this jacket have an insulated lining?
No, it is designed as a lightweight, unlined waterproof shell.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Pakka II features a fixed, grown-on hood.
What does a 1500mm waterproof rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand 1500mm of water pressure over a 24-hour period, which is sufficient for light to moderate rain showers.
Can this be worn in the snow?
While it can block wind and light snow, it is not insulated and will not provide warmth in freezing conditions.
How do I store the jacket when not in use?
Fold or roll it carefully and place it into the included packaway bag for compact storage.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric
If the water repellency decreases, the DWR coating may need refreshing with a dedicated spray-on waterproofing treatment after washing.
Difficulty stuffing jacket into the bag
Ensure the jacket is folded rather than bunched; compress the air out as you roll it to fit easily back into the pouch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for the Pakka II; simply unzip the carry bag and wear. The jacket is compatible with most standard casual wear, making it versatile for daily use. To maintain the waterproof properties of the IsoDry fabric, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners. We recommend a gentle wash in cold water and allowing the jacket to air dry in the shade to prevent potential damage to the taped seams. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it back into the storage bag to prevent odors or mildew.
