Regatta Professional Action Trousers - Black - Size: 10

They are made from a 180gsm polycotton fabric with a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, combining durability with quick-drying properties.

They have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they are water-repellent and will shed light rain and splashes. They are not fully waterproof for prolonged heavy rain, but offer good protection in damp conditions.

These trousers are multi-pocketed, featuring two large front pockets with hem bellows, a right side zipped pocket with welt covering, and two back pockets (one of which is zipped with a welt covering).

These trousers are small fitting, so it is recommended to purchase one size larger than your usual size for the best fit.

The trousers are unlined, providing versatility. For colder weather, you would need to wear appropriate thermal base layers underneath for warmth.

Wash the trousers in cold water (30°C) with a mild, DWR-friendly detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR. If the repellency diminishes over time, you can re-apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofer.

Yes, with their durable, quick-drying, and water-repellent fabric, reinforced knees, and secure pockets, they are well-suited for hiking and other outdoor activities where durability and functionality are key.

The trousers are available in three inside leg lengths: Short (29 inches), Regular (31 inches), and Tall (33 inches).

These trousers are known to be small fitting. Ensure you purchased one size larger than your usual size. If not, consider exchanging for the next size up. The part-elasticated waist offers some give, but significant tightness indicates incorrect sizing.

The DWR finish can wear off over time or with improper washing. Wash the trousers with a DWR-specific cleaner or mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the existing DWR. If the issue persists, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofer product.

For sticking zippers, try applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. If the zipper is broken, it may require professional repair or replacement. Ensure pockets are not overfilled, which can strain zippers.

While reinforced, extreme and prolonged abrasion can still cause wear. For very demanding tasks, consider adding external knee pads for additional protection. Ensure the trousers are cleaned regularly to prevent abrasive dirt from causing premature wear.

Ensure the trousers are not overloaded in the washing machine, allowing for proper rinsing. When drying, ensure adequate air circulation if hang drying. If tumble drying, use a low heat setting and avoid overcrowding the dryer. Check that the DWR finish is still effective, as a compromised DWR can lead to the fabric absorbing more water.
