FAQs

What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?

Isotex 20000 refers to the jacket's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric is waterproof to a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm and has a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24 hours, indicating high performance in keeping the wearer dry both from external rain and internal moisture.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?

Regular care according to the instructions is key. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane and reduce breathability and water repellency. Reapply a DWR treatment if water no longer beads on the surface.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind, but it is not heavily insulated. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over warm layers like fleece or thermal tops.

Can the hood be detached?

The hood is described as 'grown on,' which typically means it is permanently attached and cannot be detached.

What ages is the printed name label suitable for?

The printed name label is included and suitable for children up to age 8.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with zippers closed and hook and loop fastenings secured. Wash separately and avoid bleach, fabric softener, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low and iron on a low setting.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Regatta Highton jacket is available in various colors, including Red.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the durable water repellent (DWR) finish is still effective. If the DWR has worn off, consider a re-proofing treatment. Check zippers are fully closed.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can be due to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully to utilize its breathability features. Consider wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap, then rinse. Apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil along the zipper teeth.

Reflective trims are peeling

Avoid high heat in the dryer and harsh detergents. If peeling occurs, avoid further abrasion to the trims. Gentle ironing on a low setting might help re-adhere minor peeling, but direct heat should be avoided.
