FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the Regatta Orla Pack-It Jacket features `Isolite 5000` fabric and taped seams, providing reliable waterproof protection against rain.
How do I wash my jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with a technical outdoor cleaner or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying. Air dry thoroughly.
Does this jacket provide warmth?
The jacket is a lightweight shell designed for waterproofing and breathability, not insulation. For warmth, it should be worn over appropriate insulating layers.
What is `Isolite 5000`?
`Isolite 5000` is Regatta's lightweight waterproof and breathable fabric technology, with a hydrostatic head rating of 5000mm, indicating good water resistance.
Can I wear this jacket for hiking?
Absolutely. Its waterproof, breathable, and lightweight properties make it excellent for hiking, walking, and other outdoor activities where compact weather protection is needed.
Info needed: Does the jacket have pockets?
Info needed: The product description does not specify the presence or type of pockets. Given its 'Pack-It' design, storage features are typically minimalist to save weight and bulk.
Info needed: How small does it pack down?
Info needed: While described as 'packable' and 'can travel everywhere with you,' specific dimensions of the packed size are not provided. It is designed to compress significantly for easy transport.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a 'grown-on hood,' meaning it's integrated into the jacket design. Info needed: Specific adjustment mechanisms (e.g., drawcords, toggles) are not detailed, but it's designed for practical protection.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading off the jacket, and the fabric feels wet.
This indicates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket following care instructions and then apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proof treatment designed for waterproof garments.
I feel clammy or sweaty inside the jacket, even though it's not raining heavily.
While breathable, conditions like high humidity or intense activity can overwhelm the jacket's breathability. Ensure you're not wearing too many insulating layers underneath. Open the main zipper slightly or adjust the hood for better ventilation if possible.
The main zipper is stiff or difficult to pull.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush or damp cloth to remove any dirt or grit. For continued stiffness, apply a specialized zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) sparingly to the teeth.
The jacket retains a damp smell after drying.
Ensure the jacket is thoroughly air-dried in a well-ventilated area after washing. If the smell persists, re-wash using a technical garment cleaner designed to remove odors from performance fabrics, and ensure complete drying.
The packed size seems larger than expected or is difficult to compress.
Ensure all air is expelled from the jacket before attempting to pack it into its stuff sack (if provided). Roll the jacket tightly starting from the hood or hem to minimize its volume. Practice can improve compression efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Regatta Orla Pack-It Jacket requires no special setup. Simply unpack it from its carry pouch (if included) and put it on. Adjust the hood as needed for a comfortable fit and optimal protection.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer shell, making it highly compatible with various layering systems. Wear it over a base layer for active pursuits in mild conditions, or combine it with a fleece or insulated jacket for warmth in cooler, wet weather. Its versatile design pairs well with both outdoor activewear and casual daily attire. Always ensure the size allows for comfortable layering underneath without restricting movement.
Care: Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's waterproofing and breathability performance:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (around 30°C) with a technical outerwear cleaner, or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powder detergents, as these can clog the fabric's pores and impair its waterproof/breathable properties.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat. Ensure it is completely dry before packing away to prevent mildew.
- DWR Re-application: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric may wear off, causing water to soak into the fabric rather than bead off. You can restore this by applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment specifically designed for waterproof breathable garments.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Its packable nature means it can be stored compactly, but avoid prolonged compression to maintain fabric integrity.
