Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Pro packaway jacket is a technical solution for professionals who need reliable weather protection without the bulk of a traditional heavy coat. Engineered from Isolite fabric, this jacket ensures you remain dry and comfortable when the British weather inevitably takes a turn for the worse. Its primary strength lies in its portability; the entire garment can be compressed into its own stuff sack, making it an essential addition to any vehicle or tool bag for those unexpected downpours.
Key Features
- Waterproof and Breathable Isolite Fabric: This lightweight polyamide material keeps water out while allowing internal moisture to escape, preventing discomfort during physical exertion.
- Integral Hood with Adjusters: The fixed hood can be cinched down to provide a secure fit, ensuring visibility is maintained even in high winds.
- Taped Seams: Every internal junction is sealed to prevent water ingress through the stitching, ensuring total waterproof integrity.
- Packable Design: The jacket folds neatly into a provided stuff sack, saving space in your kit and making it easy to carry at all times.
- Zipped Lower Pockets: Two secure pockets provide safe storage for small essentials, protected from the elements by reliable zip closures.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyamide, this jacket is designed for durability and flexibility. The fabric features a durable water-repellent finish that causes rain to bead on the surface rather than soaking in. Despite its lightweight nature, the windproof properties provide an effective barrier against the chill, while the elasticated cuffs ensure a snug fit that keeps drafts at bay. The performance is focused on mobility; it moves with the wearer rather than restricting them, which is vital when working on-site or navigating a busy environment.
Why No Customisation?
This specific jacket is sold without customisation to preserve its technical performance. Adding embroidery would involve piercing the Isolite fabric with thousands of needles, which would compromise the taped seams and allow water to leak through the design. To ensure you receive the full benefit of the waterproof rating and windproof performance, we provide this garment as-is.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for tradespeople who spend much of their day outdoors but do not want to wear a heavy jacket when it is not raining. It is also an excellent choice for event staff, delivery drivers, and anyone attending outdoor festivals where weather conditions are unpredictable. Its discreet, professional appearance makes it a versatile addition to any work uniform.

Practical Advice
The Pro packaway jacket is designed to be worn over your existing workwear. We recommend checking our size guide, which covers chest sizes from 36" to 50", to ensure a comfortable fit that allows for layering over a fleece or sweatshirt during colder months. Because it is a lightweight shell, it provides protection from the elements rather than insulation, so plan your base layers accordingly.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of your jacket is essential for long-term performance. We recommend a cool machine wash using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a pure soap. Conventional detergents can strip the water-repellent coating and clog the breathable pores of the fabric.
Avoid the use of bleach, as this will chemically damage the polyamide structure and ruin the waterproof membrane. When drying, use a low tumble dry setting; the gentle heat can actually help reactivate the durable water-repellent finish. Do not iron this garment, as the high heat from a domestic iron will melt the synthetic fibers and destroy the jacket instantly. Similarly, dry cleaning should be avoided as the chemicals used are too harsh for the Isolite fabric.
