Regatta Highton Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Red - 9-10 Years

ISOTEX 20000 is a Regatta-specific waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' rating indicates its high level of waterproofness and breathability, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure and allows a substantial amount of moisture vapor to pass through.

Machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang it to air dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

The jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over insulating garments like a fleece or warm mid-layer. The jacket itself does not provide significant insulation.

Taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over the stitching on the inside of the garment. This seals the tiny holes made by the needle during manufacturing, ensuring that water cannot seep through the seams.

No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood and is permanently attached to the jacket.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. This finish helps water bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, preventing it from becoming saturated and maintaining the jacket's breathability and lightweight feel in light rain or splashes.

The jacket features a printed name label suitable for ages up to 8 years. For older children, you may wish to use a sew-in label or permanent marker on the inside fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment.

Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, allowing for some air circulation. If the weather is very cold, excessive sweating might contribute to dampness; consider adjusting the layers underneath.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Apply a wax-based product or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.

Check that the drawcords are not tangled and that the stoppers are functioning correctly. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned before tightening.
