Regatta Professional Prolite Stretch Trousers - Black - 42

No, these trousers are not fully waterproof. They feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they will repel light rain and splashes, but they are not designed to be submerged or worn in heavy, continuous downpours.

The Regatta Professional Prolite Stretch Trousers are made from 100% Polyester, with a 272g weight, ensuring durability and appropriate performance for outdoor use.

No, these trousers are designed with no external logo branding, offering a clean and professional appearance.

To maintain the DWR finish, wash the trousers on a gentle cycle with a technical wash (avoiding fabric softeners), and then air dry them. If the repellency diminishes over time, you can re-treat them with a suitable DWR re-treatment product.

They are wind resistant, which helps in cooler conditions. However, for very cold weather, they are best used as an outer layer with appropriate thermal base layers underneath, as they do not provide significant insulation on their own.

Yes, their durable construction, practical features, and lack of external branding make them suitable for professional outdoor work settings where comfort, durability, and a discreet appearance are valued.

Wash the trousers following the care instructions, ensuring no fabric softener is used. If the issue persists, re-treat the fabric with a DWR spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel. This often restores the water-shedding properties.

Ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The part elasticated waist provides some flexibility, but an ill-fitting size can still cause discomfort. If the size is correct, ensure you're not wearing overly bulky layers underneath that might restrict the stretch fabric's performance.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully try to free it. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper lubricant can sometimes help it run more smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Review your care routine. Harsh washing detergents, high heat drying, or frequent use of fabric softeners can degrade the polyester fabric and its properties over time. Adhering to the recommended gentle washing and air-drying helps preserve fabric integrity.
