FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide excellent waterproof protection. However, they are lightweight, so you may need thermal base layers underneath in cold weather.
How should I wash them?
Use a specialized technical cleaner for waterproof gear. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof membrane.
Can I use these for cycling?
The articulated knees and stretch fabric offer good mobility, but ensure the hem does not get caught in the drivetrain.
What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?
It is a performance rating indicating the fabric is highly waterproof and breathable, capable of handling significant water pressure.
Do these trousers come with pockets?
Yes, they feature practical pockets designed for secure storage of hiking essentials.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the surface fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a DWR re-proofing spray, then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate.
Internal condensation build-up
Ensure you are layering appropriately; synthetic or merino base layers work better than cotton for wicking moisture away from the skin.
Fabric snagged or small tear
Use a specialized waterproof repair patch or gear-specific adhesive tape to seal the area and maintain the garment's integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Highton Trousers last, always follow the care label instructions. Wash them using a technical garment cleaner rather than standard detergents, which can damage the DWR coating. Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, use a re-proofing spray to restore the water-repellent finish. When storing, keep them clean and dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent mildew. These trousers are designed to be worn over standard base layers or as a standalone shell; their standard waist sizing makes them compatible with most hiking belts if you require a tighter fit.
