Product Information

Full details

This Regatta Pack It Jacket III Waterproof Packaway is designed for active kids who need reliable protection from the elements without compromising on comfort or portability. Its key benefit is its lightweight, packable design, making it ideal for unpredictable weather. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it may not offer the same level of heavy-duty waterproofing as a jacket designed for extreme conditions. This jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, featuring a breathable, moisture-wicking fabric with taped seams and a grown-on elasticated hood for full coverage. It is designed to be lightweight and easily packable, perfect for stowing away until needed.

FAQs

What does 'Packaway' mean?

'Packaway' means the jacket is designed to be easily folded or rolled into a compact size, making it simple to carry in a bag when not in use.

What is the breathability rating 5000g/m²/24hrs?

This rating indicates the amount of water vapor (in grams) that can pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period. A higher number means better breathability, helping to keep the wearer dry from sweat.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is water-repellent with taped seams, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged or very heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.

How do I find the correct size?

Refer to the provided measurements for different age groups. For example, size 7-8 Years corresponds to a chest measurement of 36.5 inches. It's recommended to measure your child's chest and compare it to the guide.

Can this jacket be worn over a thick jumper?

The fit is described as 'Regular'. While it can be layered over lighter clothing, wearing it over very thick jumpers may feel restrictive. It is best suited as an outer layer for mild to cool weather or as protection against rain.

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, which is known for its durability, lightweight properties, and quick-drying capabilities.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleaching, high heat drying, and ironing. Close zippers before washing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider using a reproofing spray suitable for polyamide or polyester fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying any treatment, as dirt can affect performance.

Seams appear to be leaking

While seams are taped, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wear may compromise their integrity. For light showers, the taped seams should hold. If persistent leaking occurs, consider a more heavy-duty waterproof jacket.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent portability due to its lightweight and packable nature.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for prolonged heavy rainfall.
