Regatta Professional Prolite Softshell Stretch Trousers - Black - 38

No, the Regatta Professional Prolite Softshell Stretch Trousers feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they are water repellent and will shed light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy or prolonged downpours.

These trousers are ideal for a range of outdoor activities including rambling, hiking, hillwalking, and general outdoor pursuits where flexibility, durability, and protection from wind and light moisture are desired. They are also suitable for professional outdoor work.

Info needed: [Always refer to the specific care label inside your garment for precise washing instructions.] Generally, machine wash with similar colors using a mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or air dry to preserve the DWR finish.

Yes, these trousers are designed with multiple pockets, including both front and rear pockets that feature secure zippers to keep your valuables safe while you're active.

They are highly durable, featuring ripstop stretch fabric reinforcements at critical high-wear areas such as the knee, seat panels, and hem. This design significantly enhances their resistance to abrasion and tearing.

As softshell trousers made from woven polyester stretch fabric, they offer a good balance of wind protection and breathability. While not as breathable as some highly specialized membranes, they are comfortable for active use in various conditions.

The trousers are primarily made from Polyester, utilizing a woven stretch fabric for flexibility and a ripstop stretch fabric for reinforcement in key areas.

The DWR (Durable Water-Repellent) finish can wear off over time. Wash the trousers according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product. Ensure the trousers are clean before re-treatment for best results.

While these trousers are designed with stretch, ensure you have selected the correct waist size. The part elasticated waist provides flexibility, but an incorrect base size can lead to discomfort. Check the fit around the hips and thighs as well.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. A small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or wax) can be applied to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper.

These are softshell trousers, offering wind protection and some insulation but not designed for extreme cold. Consider layering with a thermal base layer underneath for additional warmth. For very harsh conditions, a dedicated insulated or hardshell outer layer may be required.

Ensure you are using an appropriate detergent for outdoor gear and washing at the recommended temperature. Sometimes, a dedicated technical wash for synthetic fabrics can help eliminate odors more effectively than standard detergents. Avoid overloading the washing machine.
