FAQs
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
Isotex 20000 refers to the fabric's waterproof and breathability rating. It means the fabric can withstand a water column of 20,000mm and has a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good protection from rain and good moisture vapor transfer.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C with similar colors using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Does the hood have an adjustable drawstring?
The jacket features a grown-on technical hood with elastication around the face for a snug fit, rather than a separate drawstring.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Highton jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.
What is the purpose of the reflective trims?
The 360 reflective trims are designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk, dawn, or overcast weather, enhancing the child's safety outdoors.
Can the water-repellent finish be restored?
Yes, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can be restored by using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer after washing, following the product's specific instructions.
Is there a name label inside?
Yes, there is a printed name label inside the jacket, which is included for sizes up to age 8.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not keeping water out
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the care instructions. Ensure all seams are intact and zips are fully closed.
Child feels too warm or sweaty
While breathable, heavy exertion can still lead to some moisture build-up. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate layers underneath and that the jacket's ventilation (e.g., unzipping the main zipper) is utilized when needed.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow them to dry. Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth. Avoid forcing the zip.
