Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Highton Waterproof Trousers are designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable protection during treks in wet, unpredictable conditions. Featuring high-performance ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric, these trousers provide excellent water resistance and breathability, allowing for maximum freedom of movement on uneven terrain. While they offer superior weatherproofing, users should note that the polyester material is primarily optimized for functionality rather than casual, lightweight everyday wear.

FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, their waterproof and windproof nature makes them excellent for colder, wet weather, provided you wear appropriate thermal base layers underneath.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry them. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the waterproof membrane and the seam tape.
Do the trousers come with an adjustable waistband?
The Highton trousers feature a partially elasticated waist, providing a comfortable and flexible fit for various body types.
How do I choose the right size?
The trousers follow standard UK waist sizing. Because they are designed for outdoor activity, ensure you choose a size that allows for comfortable movement or layering.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The pockets are zippered to be secure, but they are not fully waterproof, so keep sensitive electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface of the trousers
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Feeling damp inside during heavy activity
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers; the ISOTEX fabric breathes best when moisture is drawn away from the skin first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Highton trousers perform effectively, keep these tips in mind:
- Layering: While breathable, these perform best when worn over lightweight, moisture-wicking base layers to manage perspiration.
- Washing: Use a technical fabric cleaner or a non-biological detergent to avoid stripping the water-repellent coating. Avoid fabric softeners as they can block the pores of the breathable membrane.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproofing technology.
- Maintenance: Periodically check if water still 'beads' on the surface of the fabric. If it begins to soak into the outer layer, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore performance.
