FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for cold weather?
The Regatta Chaska III trousers are lightweight and designed for performance in milder conditions. For cold weather, layering with thermal base layers underneath is recommended.
How do I convert them from trousers to shorts?
Locate the zippers at the knee area. Unzip the lower leg sections completely and remove them to convert the trousers into shorts. Re-zip securely if you wish to convert them back.
What is the 105gsm weight referring to?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 105gsm weight indicates that the fabric is lightweight, suitable for active use and warmer temperatures.
How effective is the water repellency?
The trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged immersion.
Can I wear these for activities other than hiking?
Yes, their comfort, quick-dry nature, and versatility make them suitable for various outdoor activities such as trekking, travel, camping, or even casual wear in outdoor settings.
What does 'UV Protection' mean for these trousers?
The fabric has been treated or constructed to offer a level of protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, helping to prevent sunburn during extended outdoor exposure.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Refer to the brand's specific size chart, paying close attention to waist, hip, and inseam measurements. It's recommended to measure yourself before purchasing.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the elasticated waistband and the drawcord hem for a custom fit. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.
Water repellency seems reduced.
Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.
Zip on zip-off legs is difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zip teeth to help it run smoothly. Check for any damage to the zip.
Fabric is not drying quickly.
Ensure the trousers are hung in a well-ventilated area. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can also aid drying. Avoid over-drying, which can affect fabric treatments.
