FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Highton is a shell jacket. It is designed to be windproof and waterproof, so you should layer underneath it with a fleece or sweater for warmth.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is best to air dry the jacket. Excessive heat from a tumble dryer can damage the waterproof membrane and the taped seams.
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
Isotex 20000 is a high-performance fabric technology that offers a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure while remaining breathable.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the technical hood is fixed to the jacket to ensure the best seal against wind and rain.
How do I label the jacket?
There is a dedicated printed name label located inside the jacket. Use a permanent fabric marker to write the child's name clearly.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the outer shell
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Wash with a technical cleaner and treat with a spray-on or wash-in waterproofer.
Inner lining feels damp after activity
This is likely moisture buildup from sweat. Ensure the child is wearing breathable synthetic or wool base layers rather than cotton, which holds moisture against the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the jacket maintains its performance, avoid using heavy fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can strip the durable water-repellent (DWR) coating from the surface. Always fasten the zippers and use the hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs before washing to prevent damage to the fabric.
For best results, wash on a gentle cycle in cool water and hang dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. If the water stops beading on the surface after extensive use, consider applying a garment-safe waterproofing spray. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard layers, such as a fleece or long-sleeve base, providing a versatile shell that adapts to different seasonal needs.
