Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton Stretch Padded Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, high-performance outer layer for hiking and outdoor activities in cold, wet conditions. Its primary benefit is the combination of waterproof ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric and THERMOGUARD insulation, providing excellent protection against the elements while maintaining freedom of movement. One caveat to consider is that the insulation, while highly effective, adds a level of bulk compared to thin shell jackets, making it less packable for ultralight minimalist hiking.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for sub-zero temperatures?

It provides excellent insulation for cold weather, but for sub-zero conditions, it is best worn as part of a layering system including a base layer and fleece.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius using a technical cleaner designed for outdoor gear.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a fixed technical design to ensure maximum waterproof integrity.

Is the material noisy when walking?

The stretch material is quieter than traditional stiff 'crinkly' hardshells, making it more comfortable for active use.

What is the fit of the jacket?

The jacket is designed for an active fit, which provides enough room for standard mid-layers while remaining ergonomic.

Can I use this for skiing?

Yes, its waterproof and insulating properties make it capable for light skiing, though it is primarily designed for hiking and trekking.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a technical DWR spray to restore water repellency.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during strenuous activity

While the fabric is breathable, ensure you are not overdressing underneath. The jacket is designed to handle moisture vapor release, but excessive heat can overwhelm the system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-level waterproof rating (ISOTEX 20000)
  • Stretch fabric allows for excellent range of motion
  • Effective thermal retention via THERMOGUARD insulation
  • Technical hood design offers superior weather protection
  • Durable construction suitable for rugged outdoor use

Cons

  • Heavier and bulkier than non-insulated shell jackets
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproofing
  • Synthetic insulation can be less compressible than down

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Highton Stretch Padded Jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Washing: Use a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the fabric.
  2. Drying: Air dry the jacket whenever possible. Do not tumble dry on high heat, as this can damage the waterproof membranes.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically re-treat the outer fabric with a technical water-repellent spray if you notice water no longer beads off the surface.
  4. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it under heavy items for long periods to preserve the insulation loft.
