Regatta’s Highton IV sits in the brand’s walking and hiking range, competing with mainstream waterproof shells from the likes of Berghaus and Trespass. It’s aimed at people who want proper wet weather protection without the stiff, crinkly feel you can get from cheaper rain jackets. The ISOTEX fabric is built to keep rain out while still letting sweat escape, so it suits changeable UK conditions and higher effort hill days.
Who is this jacket for?
If you hike, dog walk, commute on foot, or spend time outdoors in showery weather, the Highton IV makes sense. The stretch construction is there for freedom of movement, so it feels less restrictive when you are reaching, climbing stiles, or carrying a pack. A hooded design helps when the weather turns quickly, and the broad size range up to 5XL is useful if you struggle to find outdoor shells that fit comfortably.
- ISOTEX 20000: higher waterproof rating for sustained rain, with breathability to reduce clamminess on the move
- Stretch fabric: better mobility than rigid shells for active walking
- Hooded cut: extra coverage for wind and sudden downpours
