Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Lyle IV Packaway Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable weather protection on outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is offering waterproof and breathable performance with the convenience of packing into its own pocket, making it ideal for unpredictable weather. A minor caveat is that its packaway functionality might slightly reduce the garment's overall aesthetic compared to a non-packable jacket. This jacket utilizes Isolite 15000 fabric and taped seams to shield you from rain, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable. Its packaway feature allows it to convert into a compact belt bag when not in use, perfect for easy portability.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the Isolite 15000 fabric?

The '15000' in Isolite 15000 refers to a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, indicating a high level of waterproof protection suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This is a shell jacket and does not provide insulation on its own. It is designed to protect from rain and wind. For cold weather, layer a warm insulating jacket (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

What does 'packaway' mean?

Packaway means the jacket can be folded and stored inside its own pocket, turning it into a compact, portable item, often worn as a belt bag.

Is the jacket suitable for high-exertion activities?

The jacket is breathable, making it suitable for moderate exertion. For very strenuous activities where high breathability is critical, consider jackets with higher vent-to-weight ratios.

What maintenance is needed for the waterproofing?

Regular cleaning with appropriate detergents helps maintain the fabric's properties. After several washes, you may need to re-apply a waterproofing treatment to ensure optimal water repellency.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor fabrics. Check that all seams are intact.

Packaway pocket is difficult to use

Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and as flat as possible before attempting to stuff it into the pocket. Make sure there are no obstructions within the pocket.

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood adjustment cord is loose

Locate the cord lock and ensure it is properly engaged. If the cord is frayed, you may need to trim and re-melt the end or replace the cord.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for variable weather.
  • Highly convenient packaway design for easy storage and transport.
  • Durable construction with taped seams for long-lasting protection.
  • Suitable for a range of outdoor activities, from hiking to daily commuting.
  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.

Cons

  • May not offer insulation for very cold conditions; layering is recommended.
  • The packaway feature might add slight bulk compared to a standard jacket.
  • The orange color option, while visible, may not suit all style preferences.
  • Waterproof rating might not be sufficient for extreme, prolonged downpours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Regatta Lyle IV Packaway Jacket requires minimal setup. Upon receiving the jacket, ensure all zippers are functional and the hood is properly attached. The primary setup involves understanding how to utilize the packaway feature. To pack the jacket, turn it inside out, fold it into a compact shape, and then tuck it into its designated internal pocket, which then becomes a belt bag when secured.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed for general outdoor use. While it's compatible with most outdoor attire, consider layering with a fleece or insulating jacket for colder temperatures, as this is a shell jacket.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not dry clean.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, apply a specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment after several washes, following the product's instructions.
