Product Information

Full details

These Regatta Highton Stretch women's waterproof trousers are designed for adult females seeking reliable protection from rain during outdoor activities. Their key benefit is offering waterproof and breathable comfort with added stretch for freedom of movement. A potential caveat is that while stretch is included, they are designed as over-trousers, meaning they are intended to be worn over other clothing. Key features include Isotex 10000 fabric, taped seams, a part-elasticated waistband, and two zip pockets, all contributing to effective outdoor wear.

FAQs

Are these trousers insulated?

No, these trousers are designed as waterproof and breathable outer layers and do not contain insulation. They are intended to be worn over other clothing layers for warmth and protection.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 is a waterproof and breathable coating. The '10000' indicates the hydrostatic head rating, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking, and has a breathability rating of 10,000g/m²/24hrs.

Can I wear these in heavy rain?

Yes, the Isotex 10000 fabric and taped seams are designed to provide protection against heavy rainfall.

How do I choose the right length (short, regular, long)?

Choose the length that best corresponds to your leg inseam measurement for a comfortable and effective fit.

Are these trousers suitable for extreme cold weather?

While they provide excellent rain protection, they are not heavily insulated. For extreme cold, you would need to layer warmer clothing underneath.

How often should I re-waterproof the trousers?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and starting to soak into the fabric. This typically depends on the frequency of use and washing.

What is the benefit of 'added stretch'?

The added stretch allows the fabric to move with your body, providing greater comfort and freedom of movement during physical activities like hiking, climbing, or walking.

Troubleshooting

Trousers feel damp inside.

Ensure the garment is correctly cared for. Re-waterproof the outer fabric if necessary following product care instructions. Check that zippers are fully closed to prevent water ingress.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

The part-elasticated waistband offers some flexibility. For a more secure fit, consider wearing a belt if needed, or ensure you have chosen the correct size. If it's too tight, it might be time to size up.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve smooth operation.
