Regatta Pack-It III Waterproof Jacket - Brown

Isolite 5000 refers to Regatta's lightweight, waterproof, and breathable fabric technology. A 5,000mm water column rating indicates the fabric's resistance to water pressure; it means a column of water 5,000 millimeters high can be placed on the fabric before water starts to seep through. This provides reliable protection in moderate rain.

The Regatta Pack-It III is a lightweight waterproof shell, primarily designed for rain protection and breathability. It offers very minimal insulation. For cold weather, you would need to wear insulating layers underneath, but it is not intended for extreme cold conditions.

The jacket features a standard fit, designed to be worn comfortably over typical clothing. For best results, we recommend checking the Regatta size guide (if available) and comparing it to your usual jacket size. If you plan on significant layering, consider sizing up.

The product description mentions two convenient external pockets. There are no internal pockets explicitly stated for this model.

Yes, its lightweight and breathable design makes it suitable for moderately active pursuits like hiking, fast walking, or light jogging in the rain. However, for high-intensity running, you might prefer jackets with even higher breathability ratings or specific ventilation features.

The Regatta Pack-It III Waterproof Jacket is made from 100% polyamide material, which contributes to its lightweight and durable waterproof properties.

Ensure all zippers are completely closed and the hood is properly adjusted. Over time, the outer fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. While the Isolite 5000 fabric provides internal waterproofing, re-treating the outer surface with a spray-on or wash-in DWR product can restore its original water-shedding properties.

While breathable, the jacket works best with appropriate layering. Ensure your base and mid-layers are wicking fabrics that move moisture away from your body. Avoid cotton, which retains moisture. Adjust activity level if necessary, or open the main zipper slightly for ventilation if conditions allow.

Practice makes perfect! Lay the jacket flat, fold the sleeves inward, and then fold the sides towards the center, making a long, narrow rectangle. Start rolling tightly from the bottom hem towards the hood. Squeeze out air as you roll, then carefully stuff it into the bag.

This is normal for a pack-away item. The wrinkles will naturally relax with wear. Hanging the jacket in a humid environment (like a bathroom during a shower) can help speed up the process.
