Regatta Highton Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Purple - Kids - 9-10

Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' indicates a hydrostatic head rating of 20,000mm, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high before leaking, and a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, signifying good moisture vapour transmission.

The jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and windproofing. While it has a lining, it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, which typically matches UK children's sizes to age ranges. The product information states this specific jacket is for ages 9-10 (UK size 9-10).

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

The reflective trims are designed to be durable for normal wear and tear. However, excessive abrasion or improper washing may affect their reflectivity over time.

The elasticated shockcord hem allows you to cinch the bottom of the jacket tighter, creating a snugger fit. This helps to prevent wind and rain from entering the jacket from the bottom.

Yes, the jacket is ideal for children, especially for use during the school day, commutes, and outdoor play, offering protection from the elements.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat setting. For enhanced protection, consider applying a specific DWR re-proofing spray after washing and drying.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can then lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (by rubbing the lead along the teeth) or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Check if the taped seams are intact. If any part of the tape appears to be peeling or damaged, the waterproof integrity may be compromised. Contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.
