FAQs

Is the Regatta Orla Pack-It Jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, with Isolite 5000 waterproof fabric and taped seams, it offers complete waterproof protection against heavy rain.

Can I wear this jacket in colder temperatures?

The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection but offers limited insulation. For colder temperatures, it's best worn as an outer shell over warm base layers and fleeces.

Does the jacket come with its own storage bag?

Yes, the jacket is designed to pack into its own integrated storage bag, making it highly convenient for travel and portability.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood with a drawstring, allowing you to adjust it for a snug and protective fit.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging its waterproof properties?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a specialized technical wash for waterproof garments. Avoid using standard detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, and air dry completely.

What does 'breathability: 5,000 g/m²/24 hours' mean?

This rating indicates that the fabric allows 5,000 grams of water vapor to pass through one square meter of fabric over a 24-hour period. A higher number signifies better breathability, helping to keep you comfortable by allowing sweat to escape.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears to be losing its waterproof capabilities.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can impair the DWR finish. Wash with a technical wash designed for waterproof fabrics. If issues persist, consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray specifically for outdoor gear.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Check your layering; wearing too many non-breathable layers underneath can trap moisture. Ensure the jacket is clean, as clogged pores in the fabric can reduce breathability. Also, verify that all zips (if any, like pit zips not mentioned here but common) are closed to prevent water ingress.

Jacket is difficult to pack into its storage bag.

Practice folding the jacket neatly. Lay it flat, smooth out wrinkles, fold the sleeves inwards along the body, and then roll it tightly from the hem towards the hood. This methodical approach will make it easier to fit into the bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Regatta Orla Pack-It Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it from its storage bag, unfold, and wear. To pack it away, lay the jacket flat, fold the sleeves inwards, roll it tightly from the bottom up, and place it into the provided storage bag.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layering systems. Wear it over a fleece for added warmth in cooler weather or over a t-shirt for lightweight rain protection in milder conditions. Its sleek profile fits comfortably under larger, more insulated coats if extreme cold weather protection is needed as an emergency layer.

Care Instructions

Proper care will maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash specific for waterproof garments. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Storage: Store in its storage bag in a cool, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is clean and fully dry before long-term storage to prevent mildew.
