Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Geo II Softshell Trousers are designed for adult women who enjoy hiking and outdoor activities in unpredictable weather. These trousers offer an excellent balance of weather protection and comfort thanks to their stretch fabric, though users should note that while they are water-resistant and windproof, they are intended for active use rather than heavy, sustained rainfall. Featuring a technical membrane and a highly functional design, these trousers provide the durability needed for rugged trails and the flexibility required for all-day comfort.

FAQs
Are these trousers completely waterproof?
They feature a 10,000mm waterproof rating and a windproof membrane, making them highly water-resistant, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof hard-shell trousers for torrential rain.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry these trousers to maintain the fabric properties and the waterproof coating.
Are they suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for cool, windy, or damp conditions. For sub-zero temperatures, you may want to wear a thermal base layer underneath for added warmth.
Do the pockets have zips?
Yes, the trousers include multiple zipped pockets at both the front and back for secure storage.
How do I choose the right size?
The trousers feature a partially elasticated waistband, providing a flexible fit. We recommend checking the size guide to match your standard UK dress size.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a technical waterproofing spray.
Feeling overheated during a hike
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking base layers underneath, as cotton can trap sweat and negate the trousers' breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trousers are designed for a standard fit, and the partially elasticated waist provides built-in flexibility for layering. To maintain the effectiveness of the water-resistant membrane, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Always wash in cool water using a technical detergent designed for softshell garments, and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and significantly reduce breathability. Air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the material and the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. If the trousers begin to "wet out" after prolonged use, consider re-treating the outer layer with a spray-on waterproofing agent to restore the water-beading properties.
