Product Information

Full details

This Regatta 'Pack It' jacket is designed for adventurous kids who need reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is offering waterproof, breathable comfort that packs away small for easy transport. A potential consideration is that while highly water-resistant, it's intended for general outdoor use rather than extreme downpours. Key features include waterproof fabric, taped seams, a packable design, and an integrated hood.

FAQs

What type of fabric is used for waterproofing?

The jacket uses Regatta's Isotex 5000 or Isolite 15000 waterproof fabric, known for its waterproof, breathable, and quick-drying properties.

How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?

Start by folding the jacket neatly. Begin rolling it tightly from the bottom hem upwards. Once rolled, place it into the provided stuff sack and compress it.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is typically integrated and designed to provide general coverage. While some models might have a simple elasticated edge, extensive adjustability features are usually found on more technical outerwear.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. It is designed to keep rain out and allow breathability. For cold weather, it's best layered over warm clothing like fleece or insulated mid-layers.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry naturally. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams ensure that water cannot penetrate through the stitching holes, significantly improving the jacket's overall waterproofing performance.

Does this jacket come with a stuff sack?

Yes, the 'Pack It' jacket is designed to be packable and typically includes its own integrated or separate stuff sack for convenient storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment.

Water seems to be leaking through seams

Check if the taped seams are still adhered properly. If they are peeling, professional repair might be needed, or the jacket may need replacement if leaks persist.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can then lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Jacket feels less breathable

The jacket may require cleaning to remove residues that can block pores. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and rinsing thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing for everyday rain and outdoor activities.
  • Highly breathable, preventing overheating during play.
  • Extremely compact when packed, ideal for school bags or travel.
  • Durable construction suitable for active children.
  • Provides good value for a reliable waterproof jacket.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or extreme weather.
  • The hood might offer limited adjustability for some head sizes.
  • The packable nature means it might lack some of the more robust features of a heavy-duty jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The jacket requires no setup. Simply remove it from its packaging and unfold. If the jacket has been packed away, it may need a gentle shake to expand. The hood can be pulled up as needed.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for children and is unisex. It can be worn over regular clothing or light layers.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine washable at 40°C. Use a mild liquid detergent.
  • Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  • Drying: Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Waterproof Treatment: For best results, re-waterproof periodically using a suitable fabric treatment spray, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners or conditioners, as these can affect the fabric's performance.
