Regatta Highton IV Stretch Waterproof Jacket - Red - XXXXL

Isotex 20000 is a waterproof and breathable coating technology. The '20000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand a column of water 20,000mm high before leaking, signifying excellent waterproofing.

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer insulating garments underneath. It provides windproof protection but does not have built-in insulation.

The frequency of re-proofing depends on usage and how often the jacket is washed. It's advisable to re-proof when water no longer beads on the surface but instead soaks into the fabric, typically after several washes or heavy use.

Yes, the jacket is fully waterproof and suitable for any level of rain, from light showers to heavy downpours. Its breathability also makes it comfortable for use in milder, wet conditions.

Taped seams are strips of waterproof tape applied to the inside of the jacket's seams. They prevent water from penetrating through the tiny holes made by the stitching, ensuring the jacket remains completely waterproof.

Refer to the Regatta size chart for specific measurements related to XXXXL. Consider the intended use; if layering thick items underneath, ensure there is enough room. The jacket's stretch fabric offers some flexibility.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is adjusted. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need re-application. Check that all seams are intact. Wash and re-proof according to care instructions.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog pores. Check for blockages in vents if present. Consider if the external temperature is too high for the jacket's intended use.

Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Inspect seams for damage. Minor fraying might not affect waterproofing, but significant damage may require professional repair or replacement. Ensure the jacket is not being subjected to excessive abrasion.
