Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Fenton Softshell Trousers are designed for adult men who prioritize comfort and mobility during outdoor adventures, travel, or everyday casual wear. These trousers excel by offering a warm-backed stretch fabric that balances protection against light wind and showers with essential breathability. While they provide excellent comfort for active use, it is important to note that they are water-repellent rather than fully waterproof, making them best suited for light weather conditions rather than heavy rain.

FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, they are water-repellent, meaning they are designed to shed light showers but are not fully waterproof for heavy rain.
Can I wear these for winter hiking?
They feature a warm-backed construction which provides good insulation for cool weather, but for extreme sub-zero conditions, you may need an additional base layer.
How do I know if the trousers will fit?
These trousers come in standard UK waist sizes. The part-elasticated waistband allows for some flexibility in fit.
Are the pockets zipped?
The trousers feature multiple pockets designed for secure storage; check the specific model details, as most Regatta softshell pockets are designed to keep items safe while active.
What is the primary material used?
These trousers are primarily made from polyester, chosen for its durability, moisture-wicking properties, and stretch capabilities.
How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
You should consider re-applying it once you notice that water no longer beads on the surface after a light rain or a wash.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a compatible water-repellent treatment spray.
The fit feels slightly loose at the waist.
The part-elasticated waistband is designed for comfort; if extra security is needed, the trousers are compatible with standard outdoor belts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Fenton Trousers maintain their functionality, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as these can strip the DWR finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic fibers.
- Reproofing: If water stops beading on the fabric surface after a wash, use a specialized spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and maintain the integrity of the fabric's elastic components.
