Regatta Highton Waterproof Jacket - Red - 14 Years

Isotex 20000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability rating. '20000' indicates that the fabric can withstand a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and has a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24hours.

Refer to the Regatta size guide for children's clothing. The jacket is designed for ages 7+, so consider the child's height and build. The description mentions a printed name label for ages up to 8, suggesting a fit consideration for younger users.

Yes, it can be worn in cold weather. The jacket itself provides waterproof and windproof protection. For colder temperatures, layer it over warm clothing like a fleece or insulated mid-layer.

The product description states it has a 'Grown on technical hood', which means it is attached to the jacket and not detachable.

The reflective trims should be cared for during washing according to the general care instructions. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the trims. Washing at 30°C with a mild detergent is recommended.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, preventing the outer material from becoming saturated and maintaining the jacket's breathability and comfort.

With an Isotex 20000 rating and taped seams, this jacket is designed to offer excellent protection in heavy rain for extended periods.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear after washing the jacket.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

This could be due to insufficient breathability. Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath and check that the fabric's breathability hasn't been compromised by detergent residue. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.

Ensure the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, contact customer support. Minor wear might be improved by re-applying a seam sealer, but this is often a sign of significant wear and tear.
