FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they provide excellent wind and rain protection, though you may need a thermal base layer underneath for extreme cold.
Can I machine wash these trousers?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a cleaner designed for waterproof technical gear.
What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?
It refers to a high-performance membrane that provides a 20,000mm hydrostatic head rating, making it highly waterproof and breathable.
Do these trousers come in different lengths?
The Highton range focuses on waist sizing, but the stretch material provides a flexible fit for various leg shapes.
Are these trousers noisy when walking?
They feature a high-performance technical fabric that is quieter than traditional hardshell overtrousers, though some rustling is natural with waterproof materials.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off; reapply a technical waterproof spray and tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the treatment.
Feeling damp inside the trousers during activity
While breathable, the trousers can become overwhelmed in extremely humid conditions; ensure you are not wearing non-breathable base layers underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Highton Trousers, it is important to follow proper care protocols. Always wash the trousers on a gentle cycle using a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof membranes to avoid clogging the pores of the fabric. Do not use standard biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. If you notice water no longer beads off the surface of the fabric, consider reapplying a waterproofing treatment spray. Store the trousers in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the synthetic fibers.
