Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Highton Waterproof Trousers are designed for adult male hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection against unpredictable weather conditions. Featuring ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric, these trousers excel at keeping you dry while maintaining breathability for high-exertion activities. While they offer excellent waterproof performance, they are primarily intended for wet weather usage and may feel slightly heavier than non-waterproof technical trekking trousers during warm, dry conditions.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide excellent wind and rain protection, though you should pair them with thermal base layers for insulation in freezing temperatures.
Can I machine wash these?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner and avoid fabric softeners.
Do they provide stretch for climbing?
Yes, the fabric is designed with stretch capabilities and articulated knees to accommodate high-stepping and climbing movements.
What is ISOTEX 20000?
It is a high-performance, waterproof, and breathable fabric technology used by Regatta to ensure total protection in severe weather.
Are the pockets fully waterproof?
The pockets are zipped for security, but we recommend keeping sensitive electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket for maximum protection.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the fabric.
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer to restore water beading.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating.
This is often due to moisture build-up from perspiration; ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your waterproof trousers, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, technical cleaning solution specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid using standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the sealed seams.
- Re-proofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR spray to restore the outer fabric's performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the trousers are completely dry before folding to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
