Regatta Waterproof Highton IV Stretch Jacket - Red - XL

Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' indicates that the fabric can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure in hydrostatic head tests, signifying a high level of waterproofing.

The jacket is highly waterproof and wind-resistant, making it a good outer shell. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer with insulating mid-layers like fleece or down jackets to achieve sufficient warmth.

After washing and drying, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions. This helps to restore the water-repelling properties of the outer fabric.

Yes, the breathability and stretch features make it suitable for high-intensity activities. However, during very strenuous efforts, you may need to open zippers for maximum ventilation to prevent overheating.

Isotex 10000 offers good waterproofing and breathability, while Isotex 20000 provides a significantly higher level of protection against water penetration, making it more suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rain and extreme conditions.

Store the jacket in a clean, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in compressed states, which can damage the fabric's performance. Hanging it is often the best option.

Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. If performance has degraded, reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying according to care instructions.

This can happen if the garment's breathability is compromised. Ensure ventilation zippers (if present) are open, or consider removing an inner layer. Wash the jacket to remove any build-up that might be hindering breathability.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track. Avoid forcing the zipper.
