Full details
The Regatta Hiking Trousers Chaska III are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and versatile outdoor wear.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for heavy rain?
The trousers feature a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, waterproof overtrousers would be recommended.
How do I convert the trousers to shorts?
Locate the zippers at the knee area. Unzip them carefully to detach the lower leg sections, converting the trousers into shorts.
What type of outdoor activities are these trousers best for?
They are ideal for general hiking, walking, trekking, and travel. Their versatility makes them suitable for a range of outdoor pursuits in moderate conditions.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners or bleach during washing. Consider using a reproofing spray or wash after several washes to restore its effectiveness.
Can I adjust the fit of the trousers?
Yes, the trousers have belt loops, an elasticated waistband for comfort, and a drawcord at the hem for adjustment.
What makes these trousers eco-friendly?
They are crafted from 100% recycled polyester, reducing reliance on virgin resources and minimizing waste.
What is the benefit of UV protection?
The UV protection helps to shield your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays during prolonged exposure to sunlight, reducing the risk of sunburn.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The elasticated waistband and drawcord hem can offer some adjustment, but a proper fit is key.
Water repellency is reduced
The DWR finish can wear off over time. Follow the care instructions and consider applying a specialist DWR re-proofing treatment as recommended by the manufacturer.
Zippers on pockets or legs are stiff
Ensure zippers are clean and free of debris. A small amount of lubricant like graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant can help, but use sparingly.
Trousers feel warm in hot weather
While the fabric is breathable, for very high temperatures, convert the trousers to shorts using the zip-off feature.
