Full details
The Regatta Highton Monochrome Waterproof Jacket is an ideal choice for active kids who need reliable protection during wet and windy outdoor adventures. Featuring advanced Isotex 20000 fabric, this jacket offers a high level of waterproof and breathable performance to keep children dry and comfortable. While it provides excellent weatherproofing, parents should note that it is designed primarily for layering, so it may need to be paired with a fleece for use in colder, sub-zero winter temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is recommended to use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner to protect the waterproof membrane.
Does the hood detach?
The jacket features a fixed hooded neckline for maximum waterproof coverage and durability.
Will this keep my child warm in winter?
The jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. It will block wind and rain effectively but should be paired with an insulating layer, like a fleece, for warmth in cold weather.
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
This indicates the fabric is tested to hold out 20,000mm of water pressure, making it highly waterproof and suitable for heavy, persistent rain.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed with zip closures to keep items secure, but they are not fully submersible; it is best to keep electronics in a waterproof bag inside the pocket during heavy downpours.
How do I adjust the fit?
Use the adjustable cuffs at the wrists and the shockcord toggle located at the bottom hem to cinch the jacket closer to the body.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a specialized cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket
Ensure the child is wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers instead of cotton. If the activity level is very high, loosen the cuffs slightly to increase airflow.
Zip is sticking or difficult to move
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Gently clean the zip track with a soft brush and ensure no loose threads are interfering with the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the jacket's waterproof properties, it is essential to follow proper care instructions. Wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics, avoiding biological detergents or fabric softeners that can strip the DWR coating. Always hang the jacket to air dry rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer. To maintain the 'beading' effect of the water, you may choose to re-apply a DWR spray treatment after several heavy washes. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard mid-layers, such as a fleece or light sweater, allowing it to transition through different seasons effectively.
