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. Built with ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric, these trousers provide excellent waterproof performance and breathability while maintaining comfort through an articulated knee design. While they are highly durable and versatile for trail use, users should be aware that the polyester construction is tailored specifically for moisture-heavy environments rather than high-intensity aerobic activities where lighter fabrics might be preferred.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, their waterproof construction is ideal for wet winter conditions, though you may want to layer thermal leggings underneath if temperatures drop significantly.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry the trousers. High heat can damage the waterproof membrane and the taped seams.
How do I measure for the right size?
Measure your waist at the narrowest point and consult the size guide. Given the partially elasticated waist, these provide some flexibility in fit.
Is the material noisy when walking?
The fabric is designed for outdoor performance, so it is quieter than traditional heavy-duty waterproof trousers, though some rustle is inherent to technical waterproof textiles.
What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?
It refers to a high-specification waterproof and breathable fabric that can withstand 20,000mm of water pressure, offering a very high level of protection.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and re-apply a DWR spray to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside the trousers
Ensure you are not wearing excessive underlayers that trap moisture. The trousers are breathable, but high exertion may overwhelm the moisture transport system if base layers are not moisture-wicking.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High waterproof rating (ISOTEX 20000) for severe weather
- Excellent freedom of movement via articulated knees
- Breathable material prevents overheating
- Durable polyester construction
- Secure storage with zippered pockets
Cons
- Polyester can feel slightly heavier than specialized synthetic blends
- Limited to a specific aesthetic profile
- Requires regular DWR re-treatment to maintain performance
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the garment, wash with a mild detergent that does not contain fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. The trousers are compatible with most hiking boots and can be layered over base-layer leggings during colder months for added warmth. Always air dry the trousers away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the breathable membrane and sealed seams. Re-apply a DWR spray treatment periodically to ensure water continues to bead off the outer layer efficiently.
