Full details

The Regatta Chaska III Hiking Trousers are designed for adult women seeking versatile and durable outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in their adaptability, transforming from full-length trousers to shorts with zip-off legs, perfect for changing weather conditions. A minor caveat is that while water-repellent, they are not fully waterproof. These trousers are constructed from 100% recycled polyester, offering a lightweight, crease-resistant, and quick-drying experience with added UV protection.

FAQs

Are these trousers waterproof?

The Regatta Chaska III trousers feature a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which helps to repel light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and are not designed for heavy downpours.

How do I convert them from trousers to shorts?

Locate the zippers around the thigh area. Simply unzip the lower part of the legs to remove them, converting the trousers into shorts.

What material are the trousers made from?

They are made from 100% Recycled Polyester, with a lightweight woven fabric weighing 105gsm.

Can I machine wash these trousers?

Yes, they can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

Do these trousers offer sun protection?

Yes, the fabric provides UV protection, which is beneficial for reducing exposure to the sun's harmful rays during outdoor activities.

What kind of pockets do they have?

They feature two standard side pockets and one zip-fastened thigh pocket for secure storage.

How do I adjust the fit?

The trousers have an elasticated waistband for comfort and a drawcord at the hem for adjustability, allowing you to customize the fit.

Troubleshooting

Zips on legs are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zip area is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zip teeth. Zip and unzip several times to distribute the lubricant.

Water repellency seems reduced after washing.

This is normal with regular washing. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before applying the treatment.

Trousers feel too loose or too tight at the waist.

Adjust the internal elasticated waistband for a snugger fit. Use the drawcord at the hem to secure the fit around the ankles or adjust leg length slightly.

Fabric snagged or torn.

For minor snags, a fabric repair kit or patch can be used. For larger tears, professional repair might be needed to maintain the garment's integrity and performance.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors.
