Regatta Pack It Jacket III Waterproof - Blue - Size 2-3

This rating indicates the breathability of the fabric. It means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying good breathability for active wear.

The jacket is designed to be packaway. Fold it tightly and store it in a small bag or pocket until needed. This makes it ideal for carrying in a rucksack or emergency kit.

The jacket is waterproof and water repellent with taped seams, offering good protection for changeable weather. For prolonged exposure to very heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be considered.

Yes, the 'R' fit allows for some layering. It can be worn over a t-shirt or a thin fleece for added warmth, though very bulky layers might restrict movement.

Water repellent means the fabric resists water penetration to a certain extent, causing water to bead up and roll off. Waterproof means the fabric is designed to prevent water from passing through it entirely, often combined with sealed seams.

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Do not iron. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

This specific listing is for the 'Blue' variant in size 2-3. Other colour options and sizes may be available under different product listings, such as black or plaid patterns.

The water repellent finish may have worn off. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor apparel. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny drop of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

This can be due to internal condensation or the garment needing to be aired. Ensure the jacket is fully dry after washing and consider its breathability during high activity. If the issue persists, check for damage to seams or fabric.
