Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Highton II Hiking Trousers are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and flexible outdoor wear. Their key benefit is the freedom of movement provided by stretch fabric and an articulated fit, combined with protection from the elements. A potential caveat is that their primary focus is on hiking, which may limit their suitability for more extreme conditions. Key features include durable, water-repellent fabric, UPF 50+ sun protection, and convenient pocket storage.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Isoflex technology?
The Isoflex technology provides stretch and flexibility, allowing for a greater range of movement during physical activities like hiking.
Are these trousers waterproof?
The trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can repel light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+, indicating that the fabric blocks a very high percentage of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, offering excellent sun protection.
How should I care for these trousers to maintain their DWR finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, wash at 40°C with similar colours and tumble dry on a low heat. Periodically, consider using a wash-in waterproofing product or a spray-on DWR re-proofer.
Can these trousers be worn in cold weather?
These trousers offer good protection against wind and light moisture, but they do not provide significant insulation. For cold weather, they are best worn with a warm base layer underneath.
What are the trousers made from?
They are crafted from a durable 145gsm fabric blend consisting of 94% Recycled Polyamide and 6% Elastane.
How many pockets do the trousers have?
The trousers feature two side pockets and one secure zip pocket on the back.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR finish can wear off over time. Consider using a wash-in waterproofing treatment or a spray-on DWR re-proofer after washing, following the product's instructions.
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure the correct size is being worn. The articulated fit is designed for flexibility, but an incorrect size can limit movement. Check that the part-elasticated waistband is sitting comfortably.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended. Avoid high heat drying or ironing, which can damage the fabric's properties. Re-treating with a DWR product may also help restore softness.
