Regatta 'Pack-It III' Waterproof Packaway Jacket - Teal - M

No, the Regatta Pack-It III is an unlined waterproof shell jacket. It is designed for weather protection and relies on layering for warmth.

Ensure the jacket is as dry as possible. Start by loosely folding or scrunching it, then push it into the integrated stuff sack. Once mostly inside, smooth it down to fill the sack completely and close the drawstring.

Isotex 5000 is Regatta's waterproof, breathable, and windproof fabric technology. The '5000' refers to its hydrostatic head rating, indicating its resistance to water penetration.

As a shell jacket, it provides protection from wind and rain but little insulation. For cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate thermal clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated mid-layer.

The frequency depends on usage and care. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. Typically, this may be needed every few washes or after heavy use.

The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, meaning it can allow 15,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If a section of tape appears damaged, professional repair might be necessary. Avoid machine washing on high heat as it can degrade seam tape.

This can occur if the breathability is overwhelmed by intense exertion or high humidity. Ensure all vents (if any) are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. A DWR reapplication can also help maintain breathability.
