Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Softshell Trousers are designed for active children who need durable and comfortable legwear for outdoor adventures, school play, and casual outings. Featuring a rugged polyester softshell construction with a water-repellent finish, these trousers offer excellent protection against light rain and wind. While they provide great versatility and comfort for everyday wear, the fabric is primarily intended for light weather protection rather than extreme downpours or heavy mountain conditions.

FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish, meaning they protect against light rain. They are not fully waterproof and may soak through in heavy or prolonged downpours.
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they can be machine washed. It is recommended to use a cool cycle and avoid fabric softeners to protect the water-repellent finish.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
They provide good wind protection and durability, but for freezing temperatures, they should be layered with thermal leggings underneath.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are constructed from durable polyester, which is chosen for its strength and flexible nature.
How do I ensure the correct fit?
The part-elasticated waistband provides flexibility in the fit. Use the standard UK sizing guide for children (e.g., 9-10 years) to match your child's age group.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading off the fabric
The water-repellent coating has worn off. Consider using a wash-in re-proofer to restore the performance finish.
Waistband feels too loose after washing
Check if the elastic has become overstretched. Ensure the garment is not tumble-dried on high heat, which can damage elastic components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Softshell Trousers remain effective, proper maintenance is essential. While the trousers have a water-repellent finish, this can degrade over time with frequent washing. To care for them, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for outdoor clothing if possible. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-repellent properties. Always hang-dry the trousers in a well-ventilated area rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer to preserve the integrity of the polyester fibers.
