Regatta Professional Prolite Stretch Trousers - Black - Size: 30

No, these trousers feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they are water-repellent and will shed light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof and will not protect against heavy downpours or submersion.

They are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, rambling, hillwalking, and general outdoor work where flexibility, durability, and light weather protection are beneficial.

To maintain the DWR, wash the trousers with a technical wash designed for outdoor apparel, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble drying on low heat can also help reactivate the DWR. If it wears off completely, you can reapply a DWR treatment.

Ripstop is a woven fabric, often nylon or polyester, that uses a special reinforcing technique making it resistant to tearing and ripping. Thin, strong threads are interwoven at regular intervals in a crosshatch pattern, preventing small tears from spreading.

Yes, the trousers feature multiple pockets including both front and rear pockets with zippers, providing secure storage for your valuables during active use.

The waist is part elasticated, which offers a degree of flexibility and comfort in fit. It does not feature additional drawstrings or buckle adjustments beyond the inherent elasticity.

The DWR finish may need re-activation or re-application. Wash the trousers according to care instructions (without fabric softener) and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, consider using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Apply a zipper lubricant (like a silicone spray or wax) sparingly to the zipper teeth to improve movement. Avoid forcing stiff zippers.

Ensure you have selected the correct waist size (e.g., size 30 UK). If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider exchanging for an alternative size. The part elasticated waist offers some flexibility in fit.

Address stains promptly. For general cleaning, machine wash as per care instructions. For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a gentle stain remover suitable for synthetic fabrics, then wash.
