Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Highton II Long Walking Shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfort and performance during outdoor activities. Their key benefit lies in the ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric, offering exceptional flexibility and quick-drying properties, ideal for changeable weather conditions. A minor caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof. These versatile shorts feature UPF 50+ sun protection, a part-elasticated waist for a secure fit, and multiple pockets, including a zipped leg pocket, for convenient storage.

FAQs
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection.
Are these shorts fully waterproof?
No, the shorts have a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that repels light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Regatta size guide for men's waist measurements (UK sizing) to select the best fit.
Can I wear these in very hot weather?
The quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for warm weather, but they are long shorts, so consider personal preference for breathability in extreme heat.
What is ISOFLEX fabric?
ISOFLEX is Regatta's active stretch fabric, designed to provide flexibility, durability, and comfort for outdoor activities. It's often made with recycled materials.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
Avoid using fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Re-apply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain optimal performance.
Are these shorts suitable for trekking?
Yes, the stretch fabric, quick-drying properties, and comfortable fit make them very suitable for trekking and hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
This can happen after several washes. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor clothing or washing with a technical fabric wash.
Shorts feel tight at the waist.
Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but a snug fit is expected for security during activity.
Fabric feels less flexible after washing.
Avoid using fabric conditioners, as they can stiffen technical fabrics. If stiffness persists, try a gentle tumble dry on a low heat.
Zipper on the leg pocket is stiff.
Gently work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of your shorts:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the water-repellent finish.
