Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton IV Stretch Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during challenging hikes and mountain activities. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable comfort, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in any downpour. A potential consideration is that while it offers robust weather protection, users might need to layer appropriately for extreme cold. This jacket features Isotex 20000 fabric, taped seams, and a technical hood for comprehensive coverage against the elements.

FAQs

What does Isotex 20000 mean?

Isotex 20000 indicates the fabric's performance rating, meaning it can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure before leaking and allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, signifying good waterproofing and breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain, but for extreme cold, it is designed to be layered. Adding a warm fleece or insulated mid-layer underneath will provide necessary warmth.

How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?

Proper care is essential. Wash using technical detergents, avoid fabric softeners, and re-apply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain the water-repellent surface.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than hiking?

Yes, its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for various outdoor activities like camping, cycling in the rain, or general everyday wear during inclement weather.

What is the stretch feature for?

The stretch construction allows the fabric to move with you, providing enhanced comfort and freedom of movement during dynamic activities like climbing, scrambling, or reaching.

How should I dry the jacket after washing?

It is best to tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang it to air dry. Avoid high heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can damage the fabric's performance features.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Water seeping through seams

Ensure seams are not damaged. For minor leaks, a seam sealer can sometimes be applied. If the fabric itself is compromised, professional repair or replacement may be necessary.

Reduced breathability

The jacket's membrane may be clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Ensure no fabric softener was used.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a small amount of silicone spray to the zipper track.
