FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
The trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which provides resistance against light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy downpours.
What type of outdoor activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for hiking, trekking, walking, and general outdoor activities in mild to warm weather conditions where sun protection and freedom of movement are important.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the Regatta size chart and measure your waist and inseam accurately. Consider the 'articulated fit' which is designed for movement, so a snug but not tight fit is usually best.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These trousers are lightweight and offer sun protection, making them best suited for warmer conditions. For cold weather, consider layering with thermal base layers underneath.
How do I maintain the DWR treatment?
Wash the trousers according to the care instructions and avoid fabric softeners. You can re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment periodically to restore water repellency.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, providing excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Troubleshooting
DWR finish losing effectiveness
Re-apply a DWR treatment after washing according to product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.
Zipper snagging
Gently try to free the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Fit feels restrictive
Verify you have the correct size. Check if the part-elasticated waistband is positioned correctly. These trousers are designed for articulation, but overly tight sizing will restrict movement.
