FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but always check the care label and use a gentle detergent without fabric softeners.
Does it provide warmth in winter?
The Pakka II is a lightweight waterproof shell and does not contain heavy insulation. It is best used as a rain layer over warmer clothing.
What does a 1500mm waterproof rating mean?
This rating indicates the jacket is water-resistant and suitable for light to moderate rain showers.
Can I iron the jacket?
It is generally not recommended to iron waterproof jackets as high heat can damage the fabric membrane and taped seams.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the Pakka II features a grown-on hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Use a specialized waterproofing wash-in treatment to restore the repellent properties.
Difficulty folding the jacket into the bag
Fold the jacket vertically first, then roll it tightly starting from the bottom to ensure it fits easily into the pouch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof performance, ensure the full zip is always closed during use. After rainy outings, allow the jacket to air dry completely on a hanger before folding it into its packaway bag to prevent moisture buildup or odor. If the jacket becomes dirty, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof garments to preserve the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the breathable properties of the IsoDry fabric. Keep the jacket stored in its bag in a cool, dry place when not in use.
