FAQs
What type of weather are these trousers best suited for?
These trousers are ideal for moderate weather conditions, such as spring, summer, and early autumn. They offer UV protection and quick-drying properties, making them suitable for sunny or slightly damp days.
How do I clean the Regatta Highton II trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting or line dry. Do not iron.
Are these trousers waterproof?
The trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can withstand light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof and may soak through in prolonged heavy rain.
What is the main benefit of the ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric?
The ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric provides excellent flexibility, comfort, and freedom of movement, which is crucial for activities like hiking and climbing.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
While they are lightweight, you can layer thermal base layers underneath for added warmth in cooler temperatures. However, they are not designed as heavy-duty winter trousers on their own.
What does 'Articulated Knee' mean?
Articulated knees are panels shaped and sewn into the knee area to allow for a greater range of motion, making it easier to bend your legs without the fabric pulling or restricting movement.
How much do the trousers weigh?
The fabric weight is 145gsm, making them a lightweight option for outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Wash the trousers using a mild detergent (avoid fabric softener) and consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Trousers feel restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric offers significant flexibility; if restriction persists, check for internal tags or seams that might be causing discomfort.
Fabric pills or snags easily.
While designed for outdoor use, avoid excessive abrasion against rough surfaces. Regular washing and care can help maintain fabric integrity. For very rugged terrain, consider a more heavy-duty trouser.
