FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

No, the Regatta Highton Stretch trousers are unlined, meaning they do not have any built-in insulation. They are designed to be worn as an outer waterproof layer over other clothing.

What is the waterproof rating?

The trousers feature Isotex 15000 fabric, which has a waterproof rating of 15,000mm and a breathability rating of 15,000g/m²/24 hours.

How do I choose the right leg length?

The trousers are available in Short, Regular, and Long leg lengths. It is recommended to measure your inside leg or compare with your existing trousers to select the best fit. The ankle zips also offer some adjustability.

Can I wear these in very cold weather?

Yes, but they are best suited as a waterproof shell. For cold weather, layer warm thermal leggings or fleece-lined trousers underneath for adequate insulation.

How often should I re-apply the DWR finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. If water no longer beads on the fabric surface and starts to soak in, it's time to re-apply the DWR treatment.

Are the zips waterproof?

The trousers have standard zipped pockets. While designed to keep rain out, they are not fully waterproof. For items needing absolute protection from water, consider using a waterproof pouch within the pockets.

What does 'recycled content' mean for these trousers?

The main fabric (100% polyester) is made from recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, reducing waste and environmental impact.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure seams are properly taped and intact. If damage is suspected, re-taping may be required, or consider replacement.

Reduced waterproofness

Clean the trousers thoroughly and reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on a low heat or applying a specific re-waterproofing spray as per product instructions.

Trousers feel clammy inside

This can indicate a need for better ventilation. Open the ankle zips to increase airflow. Ensure you are not overheating; consider layering appropriately for the conditions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Clean the zippers with water and allow to dry. Gently lubricate with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers. Avoid excessive force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance (Isotex 15000).
  • Stretch fabric enhances comfort and mobility.
  • Durable water repellent finish and taped seams offer robust protection.
  • Practical features like zipped pockets and ankle zips.
  • Made with recycled materials, appealing to eco-conscious users.
  • Available in multiple leg lengths (Short, Regular, Long).

Cons

  • Unlined construction may be less warm in very cold weather without base layers.
  • Waterproof rating (15000) is good but may not be sufficient for extreme, prolonged downpours.
  • Stretch is moderate, not designed for highly demanding, unrestricted movement.
  • As over-trousers, they require wearing other garments underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trousers require no assembly. They are designed to be worn as an outer layer over your regular clothing. Ensure you select the correct leg length (Short, Regular, or Long) for optimal fit.

Compatibility: The Regatta Highton Stretch trousers are compatible with most types of outdoor footwear, from hiking boots to wellington boots. The ankle zips can be adjusted to accommodate different boot styles. They are suitable for adult women and can be layered over base layers or other walking trousers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine washable up to 40°C. Wash with similar colours.
  2. Detergents: Use a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and biological powders, as these can impair the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry. For best results and to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish, tumble dry for 10-20 minutes after washing.
  5. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment (available from outdoor retailers) if water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product's specific instructions.
