Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Remove the jacket from its integrated stuff sack. It may be slightly creased initially, but this will smooth out with wear.
- Wear: Put on the jacket over your base layers or mid-layers. The standard fit is designed for comfortable movement.
- Adjust Hood: Pull on the hood for additional head protection if needed. Ensure it's positioned comfortably.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for versatility. It pairs well with light to medium base and mid-layers, making it suitable for temperate to mild cool weather. Its lightweight nature means it can be comfortably worn over anything from a t-shirt to a thin fleece.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Regatta Pack-It III Jacket.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild liquid detergent. Use a gentle cycle. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's breathability and water repellency.
- Drying: Hang to air dry, away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low setting is generally acceptable for polyamide, but air drying is preferred to preserve fabric integrity and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating if present.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Bleaching & Dry Cleaning: Do not bleach or dry clean.
- Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it into its stuff sack for storage to prevent mildew.
