FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
Yes, they feature ISOTEX 20000 fabric and sealed seams to provide a high level of waterproof protection.
Can I wear these for casual daily use?
While you can, they are specifically designed for hiking and outdoor activity. The technical membrane may feel warmer than standard trousers.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The trousers feature a partially elasticated waist, allowing for a flexible fit. Refer to the size guide provided to match your UK waist measurement.
What is ISOTEX 20000?
It is a high-performance fabric technology from Regatta that provides a high degree of waterproofing and breathability for outdoor gear.
Should I use fabric softener?
No. Fabric softeners can damage the waterproof membrane and impair the breathability of the garment.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have zips for security, but they are not categorized as fully waterproof dry pockets.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a specialized technical DWR reproofing spray.
Internal condensation buildup
Ensure you are not layering too heavily beneath the trousers, as the fabric needs to breathe to manage moisture effectively.
Stiff or restrictive movement
Check that the waist adjustment is not overtightened and that the articulated knee sections are properly aligned with your joints.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, always wash the trousers using a technical cleaner rather than standard detergents. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability pores of the ISOTEX fabric. For best results, follow these care steps:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
- Rinse thoroughly to ensure no chemical residue remains.
- Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators.
- If water stops beading on the surface over time, use a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent finish.
