Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton IV Stretch Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males undertaking high-level hikes and outdoor exploration. Its key benefit is providing waterproof, breathable, and agile protection in challenging weather conditions, thanks to its Isotex 10000 polyester ripstop and stretch fabric. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, its technical features may be more than required for casual outdoor activities.

FAQs

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. It means the fabric is waterproof to 10,000mm and breathable to 10,000g/m²/24hr, providing a good balance of protection and comfort for active use.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating mid-layers underneath.

How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's time to re-apply a DWR finish. You can test this by splashing a little water on the jacket.

Can I use a regular washing detergent?

It is recommended to use a technical wash or a mild liquid detergent. Harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane and the DWR coating.

What is the purpose of the wire-peaked hood?

The wire peak helps to maintain the hood's shape and keep it further away from your face, offering better visibility and protection from rain and wind, especially in harsh conditions.

Is the sizing UK or US sizing?

Regatta typically uses standard UK sizing for its apparel. It's always best to consult the brand's specific size chart for the most accurate fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure all vents are open and that the breathability isn't being overwhelmed by internal moisture (e.g., wearing cotton base layers). Check that the membrane is not blocked; clean as per care instructions.

Water is soaking through seams

Verify that all seams are properly taped. If the tape appears damaged or detached, contact the manufacturer. Ensure the DWR finish is intact; re-apply if necessary.

Jacket zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zippers with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Fit is too loose or too tight

Adjust the shock cord hem and the hook-and-loop cuffs for a more secure and personalized fit. Ensure you selected the correct size for your body type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for challenging weather.
  • Stretch fabric enhances mobility for active use.
  • Adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem offer personalized comfort and protection.
  • Durable ripstop material is built to withstand tough conditions.
  • Multiple secure pockets provide practical storage.

Cons

  • May be over-engineered for light outdoor activities or casual wear.
  • The technical features might require some adjustment for optimal use.
  • Polyester material may not offer the same natural feel as other fabrics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before engaging in activities.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear and can be layered over base layers and mid-layers. Its primary function is protection from the elements.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C with a technical wash or mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of old towels. This helps reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product according to the product's instructions, typically after cleaning and drying.
