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.

'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The jacket is made from 100% Polyamide, which is known for its durability, lightweight properties, and quick-drying capabilities.
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleaching, high heat drying, and ironing. Close zippers before washing.
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.
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.
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.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This jacket is part of the Regatta 'Pack It' range, designed for general outdoor use. It is suitable for layering over other clothing. The sizing is provided in UK children's sizes, with specific measurements available for different age groups.
