Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Pack It III Waterproof Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable protection from changeable weather. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable, and moisture-wicking performance in a lightweight, packable design. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is most effective in light to moderate rain due to its 5000mm rating. This jacket features a grown-on hood with elastication, full zip fastening with a storm flap, taped seams, and a comfortable high-neckline, making it a practical choice for outdoor adventures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, which is suitable for light to moderate rain. For very heavy or prolonged downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.

How does the 'packaway' feature work?

The jacket is designed to be lightweight and compressible. It can be folded or rolled into a small size, making it easy to store in a backpack or bag for convenience.

What does 'moisture wicking' mean?

Moisture-wicking fabric pulls sweat and moisture away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it can evaporate. This helps keep the wearer dry and comfortable.

Can this jacket be worn in warm weather?

Yes, due to its breathable and lightweight nature, it can be worn in warmer, wet weather. However, in very hot and humid conditions, it may become warm when worn.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the product sizing guide or the specific size options available (e.g., 1-2 Years, 5-6 Years, 9-10 Years). It's often recommended to check measurements against the child's current clothing for the best fit.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proofing is generally recommended after several washes or when you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface. Follow the instructions on the re-proofer product you choose.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider applying a re-proofer spray or wash designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Jacket feels damp inside, not from rain

This could be due to the garment not breathing effectively or due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can clog the pores of the fabric. If the issue persists, it might indicate the limits of the breathability rating for very high-exertion activities.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for active children.
  • Lightweight and easily packable for on-the-go convenience.
  • Moisture-wicking properties enhance comfort during wear.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for extended protection.
  • Designed with practical features like a storm flap and elasticated hood.

Cons

  • Waterproof rating of 5000mm is suitable for light to moderate rain, may not be sufficient for heavy downpours.
  • As a packaway jacket, it prioritizes portability over extreme durability for very rough use.
  • The plaid pattern may not be suitable for all preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: The Regatta Pack It III Waterproof Jacket is designed for children and comes in various sizes (e.g., 1-2 Years, 5-6 Years, 9-10 Years) and gender-neutral or male/female fits, ensuring a suitable option for most young individuals. It is suitable for layering over other clothing.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a similar-colored load. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Detergent: Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof and breathable properties.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not dry clean.
  4. Re-proofing: For prolonged water repellency, consider using a specific waterproof re-proofer spray or wash after several washes, following the product's instructions.
