FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for cold weather?

The Regatta Chaska III trousers are lightweight and best suited for mild to warm conditions. They do not provide significant insulation for very cold weather.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's specific size chart, paying close attention to waist and inseam measurements. Comparing with a well-fitting pair of trousers you own can also help.

Can the zip-off legs be worn separately?

No, the zip-off legs are designed to be attached to the main trouser body and cannot be worn as separate shorts.

How effective is the water-repellent finish?

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is designed to repel light rain and splashes, helping to keep you dry in moderate conditions. It is not equivalent to waterproof material for heavy downpours.

What is the 105gsm weight referring to?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 105gsm fabric weight indicates it is a lightweight material, suitable for breathability and comfort in warmer weather.

How should I care for the recycled polyester material?

The trousers can be machine washed at 30°C. Avoid bleach and high heat for drying or ironing to maintain fabric integrity and the DWR treatment.

Are there pockets for carrying a phone?

The trousers feature two side pockets and one thigh pocket with a zip. The thigh pocket is suitable for securing smaller items like a phone or wallet.

Troubleshooting

Zip on detachable legs is difficult to move.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

This is normal wear. Consider applying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product according to the product's instructions.

Trousers feel slightly loose.

Utilize the drawcord hem and elasticated waistband for a snugger fit. Belt loops are also available for adding a belt.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and that the trousers are fully rinsed. A cool iron can help soften the fabric.
