FAQs

Are these overtrousers suitable for very cold weather?

The overtrousers are unlined and primarily designed for waterproofing and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, layering thermal base layers or insulated trousers underneath is recommended.

How do I choose the correct size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing guide for accurate measurements. These are designed to be worn over other trousers, so consider if you need extra room depending on the thickness of your base layers.

Can I wear these for strenuous activities like running?

Yes, the stretch fabric and high breathability rating make them suitable for activities like trail running or cycling where moisture management is crucial. However, for intense running, dedicated running overtrousers might offer a more streamlined fit.

How durable are the ankle zips?

The zips are designed for practicality but like all zippers, they should be treated with care. Keeping them clean and free of debris will ensure longevity.

What is the difference between Isotex 10000 and higher ratings?

Isotex 10000 provides a good balance of waterproofing and breathability for general outdoor use. Higher ratings typically offer increased protection against heavier rain and higher levels of breathability for more extreme conditions or intense activities.

Can these be machine washed?

Yes, they can be machine washed at 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the fabric's performance.

Troubleshooting

Water ingress despite waterproof claims.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If taping is damaged, consider professional repair. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, as the original coating may have worn off.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy.

Clean the garment thoroughly to remove any accumulated dirt or residues that may block pores. Ensure you are not wearing excessively insulating layers underneath that could be generating too much moisture.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper for smoother operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Durable polyester stretch fabric for comfort and movement.
  • Practical features like ankle zips and secure pockets.
  • Lightweight and easy to pack.

Cons

  • Unlined design may provide limited warmth in very cold weather.
  • Stretch fabric, while comfortable, might be less abrasion-resistant than heavier materials.
  • Only two pockets available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These overtrousers require no specific setup. Simply put them on over your regular clothing. Ensure the ankle zips are closed before wearing and opened for easier donning and doffing.

Compatibility: Designed for general outdoor wear, these overtrousers are compatible with most hiking boots and casual footwear. The stretch fabric and relaxed fit accommodate various leg shapes.

Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, consider re-waterproofing every few washes using a suitable spray or wash-in product, following the product's instructions.
