FAQs

What age range is this jacket designed for?

This specific product listing is for a Regatta Highton Hooded Waterproof Jacket in Red, size 7-8 years. The jacket is generally designed for kids.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using a liquid detergent for technical fabrics. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind but is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, layering with warm mid-layers like fleece is recommended.

What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?

ISOTEX 20000 refers to the jacket's performance rating: it is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm and breathable to 20,000g/m²/24hrs, indicating high levels of both water protection and vapor permeability.

Are there other color or size options available?

Yes, the Regatta Highton jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please check other product listings for specific variant availability.

How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?

Regular washing according to care instructions and the occasional application of a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product will help maintain the jacket's water repellency.

Can the hood be removed?

The jacket features a grown-on technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be removed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's specific guidelines. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Child feels damp inside the jacket

This could be due to high humidity or intense physical activity causing excessive perspiration. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening zippers slightly if possible, and check that the breathability of the fabric is not compromised by dirt or residue. If the issue persists, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers to the teeth. Move the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant.
