'Lyle IV' Waterproof Packaway Jacket - Green

Isotex 5000 is Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology, offering a good balance of protection from the elements and comfort during activity. The '5000' typically refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating its water resistance.

You can use a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the specific instructions provided with the re-proofing product, ensuring the jacket is clean before application.

While waterproof and wind-resistant, the Lyle IV jacket is lightweight and offers minimal insulation. It is best suited for milder weather or as an outer shell layer over insulating garments for colder conditions, but not for activities like skiing on its own.

The jacket is designed for a regular fit. It can accommodate a fleece or a thinner sweater. Wearing it over very bulky items may restrict movement.

'Packaway' means the jacket can be easily folded and stored within its own integrated bag or a dedicated pocket, making it very convenient for carrying when not in use.

Refer to the brand's size chart for specific measurements. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath, which might warrant a size up.

The jacket features a pull-on hood designed for extra protection. Adjustments depend on the specific model's design, but typically, hoods are designed to stay snug when pulled on.

Ensure the jacket's breathability is not compromised by dirt. Wash according to care instructions. Check that all zippers and closures are fully sealed during use.

Verify that the taped seams are intact. If damage is suspected, re-waterproofing treatments may help, or the jacket may need replacement if seams are significantly compromised.

Practice folding the jacket neatly before placing it in the bag. Ensure all air is squeezed out to fit it compactly.

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
