FAQs

What kind of activities is the Highton Stretch Waterproof Shell best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for high-level hikes, outdoor exploration, trekking, and any strenuous outdoor activities where reliable waterproof, breathable, and agile protection is required.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure yourself accurately. Pay attention to chest circumference, waist, and sleeve length. Consider layering needs when making your selection. The jacket does offer some adjustability at the cuffs and hem.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Highton Stretch Waterproof Shell is designed as a waterproof and windproof outer layer. For very cold weather, it is intended to be worn over insulating layers such as fleece or down jackets to provide warmth.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent. It is crucial to avoid fabric softeners and powder detergents.

How do I reactivate the waterproof coating?

After washing, tumble drying on a low heat setting for about 15-20 minutes typically reactivates the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. You can also iron on a low setting without steam.

What does Isotex 10000 mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathable rating. It indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure and has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24h.

What is the purpose of the wire peak on the hood?

The wire peak on the technical hood helps to stiffen the brim, keeping it shaped and effectively diverting rain away from your face, which helps maintain peripheral vision and comfort in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the existing DWR. If this is insufficient, consider applying a new DWR treatment spray or wash-in product.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the jacket is clean. Detergent residue, dirt, or oils can clog the fabric's pores. Wash using a technical cleaner or liquid detergent and an extra rinse cycle. Avoid fabric softeners.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid using oily substances that can stain the fabric.

Seam tape is peeling

This may indicate a manufacturing defect or excessive wear. For minor peeling, a fabric adhesive designed for outdoor gear might offer a temporary fix. For significant peeling, contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for active use.
  • Durable construction with ripstop fabric and taped seams.
  • High degree of adjustability for personalized fit and comfort.
  • Designed for freedom of movement, suitable for strenuous activities.
  • Practical storage with secure zip pockets.

Cons

  • Sizing may require careful attention for optimal fit.

  • Specific wash care instructions are important to maintain waterproof properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Its primary compatibility is with outdoor activities and varying weather conditions. To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, proper care is essential:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C. Use a specific technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the machine performs an extra rinse cycle to remove all detergent residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for approximately 15-20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low, gentle setting without steam after drying to further enhance the DWR treatment. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
  5. Re-waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric to ensure optimal water repellency.
