Full details

FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
Yes, they are constructed with ISOTEX 20000 waterproof fabric and sealed seams to provide complete protection against wet weather.
Can I wear these for winter mountaineering?
They are designed for hiking and general outdoor use. While they are waterproof, they lack heavy insulation, so you may need to wear thermal leggings underneath in freezing conditions.
How do I clean the Highton trousers?
Machine wash on a cool cycle using a technical garment cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
Do the trousers stretch during movement?
Yes, the fabric is designed with stretch properties, and the articulated knee design is specifically included to allow for greater freedom of movement.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Please follow the care label instructions to ensure the longevity of the waterproof treatment.
How many pockets do they have?
They feature two secure, zipped pockets for storing essential items.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric surface instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a dedicated waterproof re-proofer according to the product instructions.
Internal condensation buildup during heavy exertion.
While the fabric is breathable, ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath. Wear moisture-wicking base layers to improve overall system performance.
Difficulty finding the right fit around the waist.
Utilize the partially elasticated waist to adjust the tension, or consider pairing with a belt if you are between sizes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Highton Trousers maintain their functionality, keep these care tips in mind. The trousers feature a standard waist sizing for men, so ensure you choose your correct size for the best fit. For cleaning, machine wash on a cool setting using a technical cleaner rather than standard detergents, as harsh chemicals can damage the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. To maintain the DWR finish, you may need to tumble dry on a low heat setting or use a technical re-proofing spray once the water-beading effect begins to fade over time. Always ensure the seams are kept clean to prevent grit from causing premature wear.
