Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton Walking Over Trousers are designed for adult women seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Their key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable coverage, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential caveat is that they are unlined, which may affect comfort in very cold conditions without appropriate base layers. These trousers feature Isotex 15000 recycled polyester stretch fabric, a durable water-repellent finish, taped seams, and convenient zipped pockets.

FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

No, these trousers are unlined. They are designed as an outer shell to provide waterproof and breathable protection and should be layered over appropriate base or mid-layers for warmth.

How do I know which size to order?

These are over trousers, so consider the size of your regular trousers and footwear. It's recommended to choose a size that will comfortably fit over your hiking trousers and boots.

What does 'Isotex 15000' mean?

Isotex 15000 refers to the hydrostatic head rating of the fabric, indicating it can withstand a water column of 15,000 millimeters before leaking. It also denotes a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

Can I wear these for activities other than walking?

Yes, these trousers are suitable for any outdoor activity where protection from rain and wind is needed, such as camping, festivals, or general outdoor work.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. Generally, reapply when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface. Washing and tumble drying (on low heat) can sometimes reactivate the existing finish.

What is the benefit of taped seams?

Taped seams are a crucial feature for waterproof garments. They involve applying a waterproof tape over the stitched seams, preventing water from entering through the needle holes.

Are these trousers suitable for very heavy rain?

With a 15000mm hydrostatic head rating and taped seams, these trousers offer significant protection against heavy rain for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the seams.

Ensure all seams are intact. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off, consider reapplying a suitable product to maintain waterproofing.

Trousers feel clammy inside.

This can occur during high exertion. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and that the garment's breathability is not compromised by dirt or debris. Clean the trousers according to care instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Trousers feel too tight over other garments.

Ensure you have selected the correct size for wearing over other clothing. Check if the ankle zips are fully open to allow for easier donning and doffing.
