Regatta Kids’ Highton Shell Jacket - Green

Isotex 20000 is Regatta's own waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' indicates a hydrostatic head of 20,000mm (waterproofness) and a breathability rating of 20,000g/m²/24hrs (moisture vapor transmission).

Yes, the Isotex 20000 fabric combined with taped seams makes it suitable for heavy rain. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish also helps to shed water effectively.

Refer to the Regatta size guide for children's jackets. Consider the child's chest measurement and height. Allow room for layering underneath if needed, but avoid excessive looseness that could hinder movement.

The hood is a grown-on technical hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached.

Re-proofing is recommended when you notice water no longer beads up on the surface or if the jacket's performance seems diminished. This typically occurs after frequent use or washing.

Taped seams means that a waterproof tape is applied over all the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from leaking through the tiny holes created by the sewing needle.

This jacket features a mesh lining for comfort and breathability but is not heavily insulated. It is designed to be worn as a waterproof shell, and additional layers can be added underneath for warmth in colder conditions.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a suitable re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a wax-based product.

While the jacket is breathable, high-intensity activity can generate internal moisture. Ensure the jacket is properly sized for air circulation. Check that all vents or openings are not completely sealed by other clothing layers.

Avoid harsh scrubbing on reflective areas during washing. If damage is minor, it may still offer some visibility. For significant damage, consider if the jacket's safety is compromised.
