Its key benefit is keeping young adventurers dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.

FAQs

What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?

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 (breathability).

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket itself is waterproof and wind-resistant. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warm mid-layers like fleece or insulated jackets to provide sufficient warmth.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is a grown-on technical hood and is permanently attached to the jacket.

How do I know which size to choose?

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart for children's sizes. The jacket is designed for children aged 5-6 years in this specific variant. It is recommended to measure your child for the best fit.

Will the printed name label last?

The printed name label is designed for children up to age 8. While generally durable, repeated harsh washing may cause some fading over time.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

It is recommended to re-proof the jacket when water no longer beads up on the surface, typically after several washes or significant use. Following the care instructions for washing and drying will help maintain the DWR finish.

What is the difference between this and a non-hooded version?

The primary difference is the integrated technical hood, providing comprehensive weather protection for the head and neck, which is absent in non-hooded versions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure the DWR finish is still active. If not, re-proof the jacket. Check that all seams are intact and that the zippers are fully closed.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions and consider a wash-in re-proofer.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a little soap, then dry thoroughly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper to help it glide smoothly.

Reflective trims are peeling

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. If peeling occurs, consider a fabric glue specifically designed for outdoor wear, but note that this is a cosmetic issue and does not affect the jacket's performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Regatta Highton Hooded Waterproof Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal comfort and protection.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with various base and mid-layers for added warmth depending on the weather conditions. It is suitable for unisex children.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all traces of detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry.
  4. Re-proofing: For best results, re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in proofer, following the product's instructions. This helps to maintain the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
