Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton IV Stretch Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult males engaging in high-level hiking and outdoor exploration. Its primary benefit is providing robust waterproof and breathable protection while allowing for agile movement, ensuring comfort during challenging treks. A potential caveat is that while highly functional, its technical design might be more than required for casual day hikes. Key features include Isotex 20000 fabric for superior weather resistance, a technical wire-peaked hood for adjustable coverage, multiple secure zip pockets, and adjustable cuffs and hem for a personalized fit.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of the Isotex 20000 fabric?

Isotex 20000 indicates the fabric can withstand a 20,000mm hydrostatic head of water, offering excellent waterproof protection.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, layering with a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket, is recommended.

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

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Re-proof the jacket periodically if water repellency decreases.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is integrated and features a technical wire peak for adjustability, but it is not detachable.

What does 'taped seams' mean for the jacket's performance?

Taped seams mean that the stitching lines are sealed with waterproof tape, preventing water from entering through the needle holes and ensuring the jacket is fully waterproof.

How should I adjust the hem and cuffs?

The hem has a shock cord system that can be tightened or loosened to seal out wind and rain. The cuffs typically have hook-and-loop fasteners for adjustable closure.

What is the benefit of the stretch fabric?

The stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement, making it easier and more comfortable to perform dynamic activities like hiking, climbing, and trekking without feeling restricted by the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zippers. Check that the fabric's breathability hasn't been compromised by dirt; clean according to care instructions. If breathability is reduced after washing, a re-proofing treatment may be needed.

Water seeps through seams

Verify that all seams are properly taped and intact. If taping appears damaged, contact customer support. Ensure zippers are fully closed.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Ensure drawcords are not tangled. Check that the wire peak is not bent. Gently work the drawcords to loosen or tighten.

Zippers are stiff

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
