Regatta Highton Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Red

Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's specific waterproof and breathable fabric technology. '20000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours.

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, layering warm clothing underneath is recommended. It is not insulated on its own.

The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C. It is recommended to wash inside out using a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, preventing it from soaking in and maintaining the jacket's breathability and lightweight feel.

Yes, the breathable and waterproof nature of the fabric, combined with its stretch properties, makes it suitable for many active pursuits where weather protection is needed.

The provided product information highlights multiple red variants, often differing in specific sizing or minor design details (like 'Hooded' or specific MPN codes). Always check the specific product title and attributes for precise details on the model you are viewing.

The grown-on technical hood features a high collar and elastication for adjustable coverage, designed to protect the head and face from rain and wind.

Ensure the durable water repellent (DWR) finish is intact. If it has worn off, consider re-applying a suitable DWR treatment as per product instructions. Also, check that all seams are intact and zippers are fully closed.

Adjust the elasticated sections of the hood and the high collar to achieve a secure fit. Ensure the hood is fully pulled up and secured around the face.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it is stuck on fabric, carefully free the fabric. You can try applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the breathability of the fabric is not compromised by dirt or residue. Check for adequate ventilation if possible (e.g., slightly open cuffs if appropriate for the activity).
