Gelert Packaway Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Beige - Animal

The Gelert Packaway Hooded Jacket is designed as a waterproof shell. While it can be layered over warmer clothing like jumpers or fleeces for cold weather, it does not provide significant insulation on its own.

Ensure the jacket is dry. Fold the sleeves and body neatly, then roll or fold it tightly before stuffing it into its integrated pouch or a separate small bag.

The jacket is made from 100% polyester, providing durability and water-repellent properties.

Yes, its lightweight and waterproof features make it ideal for hiking, especially in unpredictable weather conditions. It offers protection without adding significant weight.

Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

'Packaway' refers to the jacket's ability to be easily folded and stored into a small, compact size, making it convenient for carrying when not in use.

The hood is toggle-adjustable for a snug fit and includes a storm flap over the zip, providing good protection against rain and wind.

Ensure the hood toggle and cuffs are tightened. For prolonged exposure, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers. Reapply waterproofing treatment if the fabric absorbs water instead of repelling it.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear any obstructions. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specific zipper lubricant if the issue persists.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold the jacket neatly following the internal stitching lines or original folds. Start by folding sleeves, then the main body, and finally stuffing it into its designated pouch or a small bag.
