FAQs
What does Isotex 20000 mean?
Isotex 20000 is a waterproof and breathable fabric technology. The '20000' refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating it can withstand a water column of 20,000mm, and also a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it's highly effective at keeping you dry from both external rain and internal perspiration.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warm insulation, such as a fleece or down jacket, to provide sufficient warmth.
How do I reapply the DWR coating?
After washing and drying the jacket, you can apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Follow the specific instructions on the waterproofing product you choose. Ensure the garment is clean and dry before application.
Can I wear this jacket for everyday use?
Yes, while designed for strenuous activities, its waterproof and breathable features make it a practical choice for everyday wear in wet or windy conditions.
What sizes are available?
The Regatta Highton IV Stretch Jacket is available in a range of adult sizes, including S, L, XL, XXL, XXXL, and XXXXL. Please check the product listing for the most current size availability.
Does the hood detach?
The hood on the Highton IV Stretch Jacket is typically integrated and not detachable, designed to provide comprehensive weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the seams
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off, reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment as per the product instructions.
Jacket feels less breathable than before
The jacket's pores may be blocked by dirt or detergent residue. Wash the jacket using a specialized technical cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper for smoother operation.
