FAQs

Are these overtrousers suitable for extreme cold weather?

These overtrousers provide excellent waterproof and windproof protection, but they are not insulated. For extreme cold, layering with thermal base layers and insulated trousers underneath is recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the Regatta sizing chart available on their website or product page. Measure your waist and hips and compare them to the provided measurements to find the best fit. Since they are overtrousers, consider wearing them over your usual trousers when measuring for accuracy.

Can I wear these for high-intensity activities like running?

Yes, the Isotex and Stretch technology makes them breathable and flexible, suitable for high-intensity activities. However, for very strenuous activities, ensure your base layers are also moisture-wicking to maximize comfort.

How often should I re-proof the overtrousers?

The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. It is generally recommended to re-proof every 6-12 months or when you notice water no longer beading on the surface and starting to soak in.

What is the waterproof rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs?

This rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high for 24 hours before water penetrates. It signifies a good level of waterproofness suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Can these be packed down small for travel?

While not specifically designed as packable overtrousers, their lightweight polyester fabric means they can be folded or rolled to a reasonably compact size for carrying in a backpack.

Troubleshooting

Overtrousers feel damp inside despite being waterproof.

This could be due to internal condensation. Ensure you are using the breathable feature correctly and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised; try cleaning the garment as per care instructions.

Water is leaking through the seams.

Check if the taped seams are intact. If they appear to be peeling or damaged, the garment's waterproof integrity may be compromised. Contact customer support for potential repair or replacement options.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

The overtrousers feature a part-elasticated waistband for a comfortable fit. If the fit is still not ideal, consider layering with a belt or ensuring you have selected the correct size based on the product's sizing chart.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers if necessary.
