FAQs
What age range is this jacket suitable for?
This specific variant is for children aged 5-6 years. Regatta offers the Highton jacket in a range of sizes for kids.
How do I clean the Regatta Highton jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C using liquid detergent. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron. Avoid fabric softener.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. It is designed for layering, so for colder winter weather, add warm layers underneath such as fleece or insulated clothing.
What does 'Isotex 20000' mean?
Isotex 20000 is Regatta's waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' rating indicates a high level of performance, meaning it can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure and offers a breathability rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours.
Can the hood be detached?
The hood is described as 'grown-on', meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed for visibility but can be susceptible to wear and tear over time, especially with frequent washing or abrasive contact. Proper care, as outlined in the care instructions, will help prolong their lifespan.
What are the chest pockets for?
The two zipped chest pockets are intended for secure storage of small items. They are positioned for easy access while wearing the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a specific re-proofer spray designed for technical outerwear. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can affect water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Child feels clammy or sweaty inside the jacket.
While the jacket is breathable, excessive activity can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture. Check that ventilation (if any) is open and that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.
Reflective trims are peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat drying and ironing, as these can damage the reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, carefully try to re-adhere with a fabric glue designed for outdoor gear, but be aware that this may compromise the reflectivity. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
