Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton Stretch Padded Jacket is designed for adult women who require a reliable outer layer for cold and wet outdoor environments. Featuring high-performance ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric and THERMOGUARD insulation, it provides an excellent balance of waterproof protection, warmth, and freedom of movement. While it excels in inclement weather, users should note that the integrated padding makes it a bulkier garment compared to lightweight rain shells, which may affect packability for minimalist hikers.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Please use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners.

What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?

It is a performance standard indicating the fabric is both highly waterproof up to 20,000mm hydrostatic head and breathable.

Can I remove the hood?

The product description indicates an integrated wired hood, which is not designed to be detachable.

Does the insulation lose warmth when wet?

No, the THERMOGUARD synthetic insulation is designed to retain warmth even in damp conditions.

How should I store this jacket to protect the padding?

Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it in a small storage bag for extended periods.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets have zipped closures for security, but we recommend keeping sensitive electronics in the internal security pocket for extra protection.

Troubleshooting

Water beginning to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may need refreshing. Use a specialized technical re-proofing spray after washing the garment.

Moisture buildup inside during high activity

While breathable, the jacket is insulated. Adjust your layers underneath to manage temperature better or utilize the front zip to vent excess heat.

Hood keeps falling forward

Adjust the rear and side toggles to tighten the fit, and ensure the wire peak is bent to follow the curvature of your forehead.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating (ISOTEX 20000)
  • Stretch fabric allows for excellent mobility
  • Effective thermal insulation for winter conditions
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs for a custom fit
  • Multiple secure zipped pockets

Cons

  • Heavier and bulkier than non-padded shells
  • Requires more space in a backpack
  • Not intended for high-intensity summer activities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, always close all zippers and fasten the hook-and-loop cuffs before washing. Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof, breathable fabrics rather than standard biological detergents, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry away from direct heat sources to reactivate the water repellency. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a confined space to prevent mildew buildup. For the best fit, ensure the internal drawcord at the hem is adjusted to suit your torso length, preventing cold air from entering from beneath.
