Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Highton Waterproof Trousers are designed for adult male hikers who require reliable protection against unpredictable weather in exposed environments. Utilizing ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric, these trousers offer a high-performance balance of waterproof shielding and breathability, allowing for comfortable movement on the trail. While they provide exceptional weather resistance through sealed seams and durable water repellency, users should note that the lightweight mesh lining is optimized for versatile hiking rather than extreme thermal insulation in sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
They are highly waterproof, but the mesh lining is thin. They are best used in winter when layered over thermal base layers.
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical gear cleaner. Avoid standard detergents and softeners.
What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?
It is a technical rating indicating that the fabric is waterproof up to 20,000mm of hydrostatic head pressure.
Do these trousers have pockets?
Yes, the trousers include practical pockets designed for secure storage on the trail.
Are the knees reinforced?
They feature an articulated knee design to allow for better movement, providing both comfort and durability.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating has worn off; wash the trousers with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing treatment.
Feeling damp inside the trousers
This is often caused by condensation from sweat rather than rain entry; ensure you are not wearing excessive layers and allow the garment to breathe.
Fit is loose around the waist
Utilize the partially elasticated waist features or use a belt to ensure a secure, sealed fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Highton Trousers, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a cool setting using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments. Avoid biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Line dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid tumble drying unless recommended by the care label, as heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore the factory finish.
- Compatibility: These trousers are designed to be worn over base layers in colder temperatures or directly on the skin. Ensure the waist fit is snug to prevent water from entering the top during heavy downpours.
