Regatta Kids’ Highton Shell Jacket - Green

Isotex 20000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure and has a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating it's highly waterproof and very breathable.

The jacket itself is waterproof and windproof, providing protection from the elements. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating clothing, such as a fleece or down jacket, to provide warmth.

Regularly follow the care instructions, especially regarding washing with mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Periodically reactivating the DWR finish (often by tumble drying) and applying a re-proofing treatment will help maintain its waterproof capabilities.

The hood is described as 'grown-on,' which typically means it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be removed.

The mesh lining in the body of the jacket adds comfort against the skin and helps to improve air circulation, contributing to the jacket's overall breathability.

This jacket is designed for children, with specific sizing and features like a printed name label available for ages up to 8 years. The product information mentions 'age 7+' for some features.

The reflective trims are designed to enhance visibility. While generally durable for normal wear and tear, they should be cared for according to the washing instructions to prolong their effectiveness.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Try tumble drying the jacket on a low heat setting, as this can reactivate the finish. If that doesn't help, consider using a specific re-proofing spray designed for outdoor gear.

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket's vents (if any) are open and that the child isn't overdressed. The breathability of the Isotex fabric should help manage moisture, but very high activity levels can still lead to internal dampness.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Try gently pulling the fabric away from the zipper track. You can also use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant on the teeth to help it glide more smoothly.

Follow the washing instructions carefully: machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. For stubborn stains, pre-treat the area gently before washing.
