Product Information

Full details

The Regatta Highton Waterproof Trousers are designed for adult hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who require reliable moisture protection during unpredictable weather. Featuring high-performance ISOTEX 20000 stretch fabric, these trousers offer a superior balance of waterproof protection and breathability, making them ideal for challenging hill walks. While they provide excellent weather defense, they are primarily intended as a technical outer layer rather than everyday casual wear due to their specialized material construction.

FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, they provide excellent wind and waterproof protection, making them suitable for winter, though you should pair them with thermal base layers for added warmth.

How do I measure for the correct waist size?

Measure around your natural waistline where you typically wear your trousers. These trousers have a partially elasticated waist, providing some flexibility.

Are these trousers noisy when walking?

Due to the waterproof membrane, there is a slight 'swish' sound common in all technical waterproof trousers, but the stretch fabric helps minimize this.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry them. Tumble drying on a low setting may be permissible depending on specific garment care tags, but air drying is the safest way to maintain the membrane.

What is ISOTEX 20000?

ISOTEX 20000 is Regatta's high-performance fabric technology designed to be both waterproof and breathable, capable of handling 20,000mm of water pressure.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the surface of the fabric

The DWR coating may be wearing off. Clean the trousers and apply a specialist DWR re-proofer to restore water beading.

Inside of the trousers feels damp

This is often due to internal condensation buildup during high-intensity activity. Ensure your base layer is moisture-wicking and adjust your pace to regulate body temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of waterproof performance with ISOTEX 20000
  • Enhanced range of motion via articulated knee panels
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during strenuous hikes
  • Fully sealed seams for complete weatherproofing
  • Functional storage with secure zipped pockets

Cons

  • Polyester construction may feel less breathable than specialized technical softshells
  • Specific fit requires careful measurement due to the elasticated waist design
  • Limited to one color option (Blue)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Highton Trousers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating.
  2. Re-waterproofing: Over time, you may need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing to maintain the water-shedding performance.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damaging the synthetic polyester fibers and membrane.
  4. Compatibility: These trousers are designed to be worn over standard base layers. Ensure you select the correct waist size (e.g., 42") to accommodate any base layers worn underneath without restricting your movement.
