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

Isotex 20000 is Regatta's own waterproof, breathable and windproof technology. The '20000' rating signifies that the fabric can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure in a hydrostatic head test, indicating high levels of waterproof protection.

The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind, but it is a shell jacket and does not include insulation. For very cold weather, it is best worn over warm layers like a fleece or jumper.

Regular cleaning and periodic re-proofing with a suitable product are essential. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.

The grown-on technical hood is permanently attached to the jacket and designed to offer comprehensive protection against wind and rain, fitting snugly around the head and neck.

Based on the description, this jacket features external zipped pockets (two lower, two chest) but does not explicitly mention internal pockets.

Yes, the jacket is made from 100% polyester stretch fabric, which allows for greater freedom of movement during active use.

The printed name label is included for sizes up to age 8. For older children, you will need to add your own label.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable wash-in or spray-on re-proofer, following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash and re-proof if necessary.

Avoid excessive heat during washing or drying. Minor peeling can sometimes be carefully adhered with a fabric-safe adhesive, but significant damage may affect visibility.
