FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish that handles light rain, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof for heavy weather.
Can I wear these in summer?
Yes, the fabric is lightweight and includes UPF 50+ protection, making them ideal for sunny, warm weather hiking.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers feature a part-elasticated waist to provide a flexible fit. Please refer to the specific waist size listed for the model.
Are they suitable for heavy-duty mountain climbing?
While highly durable, they are optimized for trekking and walking. For technical climbing, look for gear with reinforced panels.
Do the zips on the pockets rust?
The zippers are designed for outdoor use and are durable, but it is best practice to rinse them with fresh water if exposed to salt water or mud.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading up
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the garment and apply a DWR-restoring wash-in or spray treatment.
Waistband feels loose after significant wear
The elastic components can lose tension over time; ensure you are not washing the trousers in high-temperature water which can degrade elastic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Highton Trousers maintain their protective features and shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a standard cool cycle. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish from the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct high heat sources to preserve the integrity of the elastane fibers.
- Maintenance: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the trousers after extensive use, consider using a specialized DWR re-proofer spray to restore the water-repellent performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are fully dry before packing to prevent mildew.
