FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for cold weather hiking?

The Regatta Chaska III trousers are made from lightweight polyester and are best suited for moderate to warm conditions. For cold weather, consider layering or opting for insulated trousers.

How do I zip the legs back on?

Align the zipper halves of the removed leg section with the corresponding zippers on the lower part of the trouser leg and carefully zip them together. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

What does '105gsm' refer to?

GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of the fabric's weight. 105gsm indicates a lightweight fabric, suitable for breathability and comfort in warmer conditions.

Can I machine wash these trousers?

Yes, you can machine wash them at 40°C. Please refer to the care label for full instructions, including avoiding bleach and using a low heat for tumble drying and ironing.

How durable is the water-repellent finish?

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish provides resistance against light rain and moisture. It is designed to last through multiple washes, but its effectiveness can be restored with re-proofer treatments.

What is the main advantage of the zip-off feature?

The main advantage is versatility. It allows you to quickly convert the trousers into shorts, adapting to changing weather conditions or providing extra ventilation during strenuous activity without needing to carry a separate pair of shorts.

Are these trousers suitable for trekking in sunny climates?

Yes, the trousers offer UV protection, which helps shield your skin from the sun's harmful rays, making them a good choice for trekking in sunny climates.

Troubleshooting

Zippers on zip-off legs are difficult to operate.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Water repellency has decreased.

Wash the trousers according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment. Avoid using fabric conditioners, as they can impair water repellency.

Trousers feel damp after light rain.

Check if the DWR finish needs reapplication. Ensure the garment is not being exposed to prolonged or heavy downpours, as the finish is designed for light showers.

Waistband feels too loose or tight.

Adjust the internal elasticated waistband and secure with internal buttons if available on your specific model. Use the drawcord hem for a snugger fit around the ankles if needed.
