FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
Yes, they are suitable for winter hiking, though they are thin enough to be worn in multiple seasons. We recommend layering thermal leggings underneath in extreme cold.
Do these trousers have a zipper fly?
Yes, the Highton trousers feature a standard zip fly and secure button closure for easy wear.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for small essentials. Most standard-sized smartphones will fit, but larger 'Max' or 'Pro' models may be a tight fit.
Can I put these in the tumble dryer?
It is generally not recommended to tumble dry these trousers as excessive heat can degrade the waterproof membrane and seam sealing.
What does ISOTEX 20000 mean?
ISOTEX 20000 is a high-performance waterproof and breathable membrane that can withstand a water column of 20,000mm, making it highly effective against heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the trousers and apply a standard DWR reproofing spray to restore beading performance.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable base layers. Using a moisture-wicking synthetic base layer will help the ISOTEX fabric transport sweat away from the body more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Highton Trousers last for many seasons, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical garment cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. High heat can damage the fabric's membrane.
- Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric after heavy use, consider reapplying a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore the exterior performance.
- Compatibility: These are designed as outer-shell trousers. They can be worn alone in milder temperatures or paired with thermal leggings underneath for winter conditions.
