Regatta Highton IV Stretch Jacket - Red - L

Isotex 10000 offers a good balance of waterproof protection and breathability, making it suitable for active use in wet weather without causing excessive overheating.

The jacket itself provides weather protection. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating garments like fleeces or thermal tops.

If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply a DWR treatment.

While robust, the Isotex 10000 rating is moderate. For extreme, prolonged exposure to severe weather conditions, higher-rated waterproof fabrics might be considered. However, it is excellent for typical hiking and mountain trails.

Taped seams means that a waterproof tape has been applied over the stitches on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from leaking through the tiny holes made by the sewing needle.

Yes, the breathability of the Isotex 10000 fabric is designed to allow moisture vapor from sweat to escape, helping to keep you more comfortable during strenuous activity.

This specific product listing is for the Red variant in size L. Other colors and sizes may be available through different product listings or retailers.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a specific DWR treatment designed for waterproof outerwear after cleaning the jacket according to care instructions.

Ensure the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, contact customer support. If the issue is persistent water penetration despite intact seams, consider re-waterproofing the fabric.

This can be due to insufficient breathability if the internal moisture cannot escape. Ensure the inner layers are not trapping moisture and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt can block pores.

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax specifically for zippers.
