The Regatta Highton Stretch women's waterproof trousers are designed for adult females seeking reliable protection from rainfall during outdoor activities. Their key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable coverage with added stretch for comfort and freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that they are unlined, which may be less ideal for very cold conditions without appropriate layering. These trousers feature Isotex 15000 recycled polyester fabric, taped seams for full waterproof protection, a part-elasticated waistband, two zipped side pockets, and zip openings at the ankle for easy boot access. They are available in various lengths to ensure a good fit.

No, the Regatta Highton Stretch trousers are unlined. They are designed as a waterproof and breathable outer shell, intended to be worn over other clothing for warmth.
Isotex 15000 refers to Regatta's proprietary fabric technology. The '15000' indicates a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours, signifying good performance in rain and comfort during activity.
The trousers are available in Short, Regular, and Long lengths. It is recommended to measure your inside leg or consult a size guide to determine which length will provide the best fit for your height.
While the stretch fabric and breathability are beneficial, these are designed primarily for hiking and walking. For high-intensity running, specialized running gear might offer better performance and fit.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead up and roll off the surface of the trousers, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining its breathability and comfort in light to moderate rain. It also helps the fabric shed dirt.
The need for re-proofing depends on usage and care. Generally, re-proofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface or if the fabric begins to feel damp internally during use. Typically, this might be after several washes or a season of regular use.
This guide focuses on the Blue, Size 12 variant. The Highton range is often available in other colours; please check the product listing or Regatta's official website for the full range of colours and sizes.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers and apply a suitable re-proofer. If the fabric itself is damaged or compromised, professional repair or replacement may be needed.
This could be due to insufficient breathability or perspiration buildup. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability. Wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath can also help manage internal moisture.
Clean the zippers gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if necessary.
The part-elasticated waistband offers some adjustability. For a tighter fit, consider wearing a belt. If the fit is significantly off, check if a different size or length is available that might suit your body shape better.
Setup: These are pull-on trousers with a part-elasticated waistband. There is no complex setup required; simply pull them on. The ankle zips allow for easier fitting over footwear.
Compatibility: Designed for general outdoor activities and as a waterproof layer. They are compatible with most hiking boots and walking shoes. For colder weather, they are best worn over thermal base layers or leggings.
Care Instructions: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties:
