RegattaMen's Pack It Jkt III Jacket

This item is adequate for it's purpose but is very much a dumbing down of the previous version which appears to no longer be available. The previous version, which I still have, is of a better quality with two deep inside pockets and two deep, zipped outside pockets. This newer version has two outside pockets only, with neither zip nor velcro fastening to them and seem designed to let the rain into them. It's generally not as good a fit either, compared to the previous version. It protects adequately from the rain but it remains a huge disappointment from it's predecessor. Definitely not a case of 'new and improved'. There are better emergency wet weather jackets out there.

Went on a 5 hour hike with this coat & was generally impressed. Fit well, I'm a slim 5'11/6" & decided to go for size M which was perfect for me. Got caught in some really tough conditions - flash raining & high speed winds, and this coat kept me dry & warm! The carry bag was an extra little bonus that I liked, easy to travel with. Only reason I won't give this 5* is the pockets aren't zipped so can't really keep any belongings safe. Also one of the pocket seems had teared slightly.Overall pleased with the coat & will use it on my next hike.

This is an excellent lightweight jacket and having worn it in heavy rain, I can confirm it really is waterproof. What’s more, it didn’t make me sweat much. Very impressed. I recommend it strongly.

Super Jacke, leicht, wind- und wasserdicht, atmungsaktiv..sehr angenehm zu tragen...Das kleine Aber....Waschen der Jacke geht nicht...trotz Handwäsche ist die Wasserdichte hin...sie lässt dann Regen durch wie ein Sieb

An infinitely poorer implementation than the previous version. Sure, it's more lightweight, but in the same manner as single use plastic is to something a bit more sturdy. It claims to be waterproof, but leaked at the zip on its first use. It feels very cheap and flimsy, with a hint that the first stretch will rip it. The main problem versus the superior previous version is the removal of the internal pockets. The next problem is the gaping flaps that call themselves exterior pockets. They are not waterproof and flood easily. Any items stored in these pockets will get wet and most likely will fall out as there is no fastener whatsoever.Avoid this if you can, otherwise prepare for a wafer thin plastic bag-esque jacket which allows water in an promotes sweat.
