FAQs

What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?

Isotex 20000 refers to Regatta's own fabric technology that provides a waterproof and breathable rating. '20000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Regatta size guide for children's clothing. The jacket is designed for active wear, so consider if your child will need space for layering underneath when selecting a size.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket itself is waterproof and windproof, providing a good outer shell. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating items like fleece or thermal tops underneath to maintain warmth.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the jacket features a grown-on technical hood with elastication, allowing for some adjustment to improve fit and protection against the weather.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?

Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener. After washing, you can re-apply a DWR finish using a spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof clothing to restore water repellency.

Are there other color options available?

The Regatta Highton jacket is available in a range of colours, including Red and Purple, with variations in specific models.

What is the benefit of the taped seams?

Taped seams reinforce the jacket's waterproof capability. They cover the stitches, preventing water from seeping through the needle holes, ensuring complete protection during heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a specific re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth.

Child feels cold or damp inside the jacket.

Ensure the jacket is zipped up completely and that the hem and cuffs are adjusted properly to prevent drafts. Consider adding an extra insulating layer underneath for colder conditions.
