Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme winter weather?

It is designed for cold and wet conditions with THERMOGUARD insulation; however, in arctic conditions, you should pair it with additional thermal base layers.

Can I remove the hood?

No, the hood is permanently attached to the collar to ensure the seal remains waterproof.

Does the jacket come in different sizes?

Yes, it is available in various sizes; please check the specific variant details to confirm availability.

What is the ISOTEX 20,000 rating?

This indicates the jacket can withstand a water column of 20,000mm, classifying it as highly waterproof.

Should I tumble dry the jacket?

Check the garment care label inside the jacket. Generally, air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the taped seams and technical fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a specialized technical reproofer to restore water repellency.

Condensation builds up inside during high activity

Ensure you are using the correct layering system. Avoid cotton base layers that retain sweat, and adjust your front zipper to increase ventilation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Superior waterproof rating (20,000mm) for heavy rain
Breathable material prevents overheating during physical exertion
Stretch fabric allows for full range of motion
Multiple secure pockets for essential storage
Wire-peaked hood ensures visibility in poor weather

Cons

The wire in the hood may require occasional reshaping
Polyester material may hold onto odors after intense perspiration
More tailored fit may limit layering options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Regatta Highton jacket remains waterproof over time, adhere to the following guidelines:

Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the fabric surface.
Maintenance: Periodically re-treat the outer fabric with a waterproofing spray if you notice water no longer 'beads' on the surface.
Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure the hood wire is flattened or gently hung to prevent permanent creasing or damage to the internal structure.
Layering: Due to its athletic cut, opt for slim-fitting mid-layers like technical fleece or thin merino wool to take full advantage of the stretch properties.
