FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for summer hiking?
They are designed for wet conditions. While they are breathable, they may feel warmer than lightweight non-waterproof alternatives during hot summer days.
Can I wear these over my regular trousers?
The Highton Trousers are designed as a primary layer, though the fit may accommodate a thin base layer underneath depending on your sizing.
How do I maintain the waterproof integrity?
Regularly clean the trousers and use a DWR-specific re-proofer to ensure the outer shell continues to repel water effectively.
What is ISOTEX 20000?
It is a high-performance fabric technology from Regatta that provides a high level of waterproof protection while allowing sweat to escape.
Does the waistband stretch significantly?
The waist features a partial elastic section which provides a comfortable, snug fit without the need for constant adjustment.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The pockets are zipped to provide secure storage; however, they are designed to keep items safe and contained rather than being fully submersible.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the surface fabric.
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.
Feeling damp inside the trousers.
This is often caused by trapped perspiration during high-intensity exercise. Ensure you are not wearing excessive layers underneath and utilize the breathable properties of the ISOTEX fabric.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck.
Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush, then gently cycle the zipper back and forth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trousers last for many seasons, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in a machine using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the waterproof membrane.
- Re-proofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR wash-in or spray treatment to restore its performance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the garment is completely dry before folding to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
