Regatta Pack It Jacket - Orange - 9-10 Years

This specific product listing is for the Regatta Pack It Jacket III in Orange, size 9-10 years. Regatta offers this model in a range of sizes for different age groups.

Locate the integrated stuff sack (often a small pocket that turns inside out). Empty the jacket of air, fold it neatly, and push it into the sack. Zip it up to keep it compact.

The jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. While it is breathable, it is not heavily insulated. For cold weather, it is recommended to wear warm layers underneath.

Based on the product description, the hood is an integral part of the jacket's design and is not typically removable.

Isolite 15000 fabric provides a high level of waterproofing and breathability, keeping the wearer dry from both external rain and internal perspiration during activity.

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing. Ensure zippers are closed and fastenings are secured before washing.

Taped seams means that the stitching lines where fabric panels are joined are sealed with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes, significantly enhancing the jacket's waterproof performance.

Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions. Waterproofing treatments may need to be reapplied periodically; consider using a fabric-specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. Applying a small amount of wax or a silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth can help.

This could be due to the garment's breathability being overwhelmed by high activity or humidity. Ensure the jacket is fully dried after use and consider if layering underneath is trapping moisture.
