Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton Stretch Padded Jacket is a versatile choice for adult women seeking reliable protection during cold, wet-weather adventures. Featuring high-performance ISOTEX 20000 waterproof fabric and THERMOGUARD insulation, it provides an excellent balance of warmth and mobility. While it is highly capable in inclement conditions, users should note that the technical insulation adds a slight bulk compared to unlined shells, making it better suited for colder climates rather than mild, active days.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it is made with ISOTEX 20000 fabric and features taped seams for complete waterproof protection.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature using a cleaner designed for waterproof outerwear.

What is the purpose of the wire-peaked hood?

The wire-peaked hood allows you to shape the brim, preventing it from drooping over your eyes and ensuring clear visibility during rain.

Is the insulation bulky?

It uses THERMOGUARD insulation, which is designed to be lightweight and efficient, though it is naturally thicker than an unlined jacket.

Is the jacket suitable for hiking?

Yes, the stretch fabric is specifically chosen to facilitate movement, making it ideal for hiking and outdoor activity.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating may need refreshing; apply a re-proofing spray designed for technical waterproof fabrics after cleaning.

Condensation building up inside

Ensure you are using appropriate, breathable base layers to allow moisture-wicking; avoid wearing heavy cotton underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof rating of ISOTEX 20000
  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio from THERMOGUARD insulation
  • Wire-peaked hood enhances visibility in stormy conditions
  • High-stretch material allows for unrestricted movement
  • Multiple secure pockets for essential items

Cons

  • Heavier than non-insulated rain shells
  • May be too warm for high-intensity activity in mild temperatures
  • Polyester material requires specific care to maintain waterproof coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, avoid using heavy fabric softeners during laundering as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. The jacket is designed for standard layering; consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to manage sweat during high-exertion activities. For cleaning, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a dedicated technical cleaner, and always air dry to protect the integrity of the taped seams and insulation.
