Regatta Highton Jacket - Red

Isotex 20000 is a performance fabric technology used by Regatta. The '20000' rating indicates a high level of waterproofing (20,000mm hydrostatic head) and breathability (20,000 g/m²/24 hours), designed to keep the wearer dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.

Consult the Regatta size chart for children's jackets. Measure your child's chest, waist, and height, and compare these measurements to the chart. Consider the age range indicated for the jacket, and if possible, check specific garment measurements. It's often advisable to size up if your child is between sizes or has a larger build, especially if planning to wear thick layers underneath.

The jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. While it has a mesh lining, it does not provide significant insulation on its own. For cold weather, it's recommended to layer the Highton jacket over warm mid-layers such as fleece or insulated tops.

Re-waterproofing is recommended when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear. Following the care instructions for washing and drying will help maintain the DWR finish for as long as possible.

Yes, the grown-on technical hood has elastication around the face and the opening, and it also features a high collar for added protection. This allows for a more secure fit to shield the child from wind and rain.

Taped seams means that the seams where the fabric panels are joined are sealed with a special waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes made during stitching, ensuring the jacket remains fully waterproof.

The reflective trims are designed to be durable, but like all trims, they can degrade with excessive abrasion or harsh cleaning. Follow the recommended care instructions, avoiding bleach and high heat, to preserve their reflectivity.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment using a spray or wash-in product suitable for outdoor apparel, following the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-treatment.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no dirt or debris is present. Allow to dry completely. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

This could be due to reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash according to care instructions. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised over time with heavy use.

Reflective trims can be susceptible to abrasion. Avoid harsh scrubbing during cleaning. If minor peeling occurs, continue to use as normal. Significant damage may affect visibility.
