FAQs
Are these trousers suitable for winter hiking?
They are ideal for spring, summer, and autumn. For deep winter, you may need a thermal base layer underneath or heavier, insulated trousers.
How do I choose the correct length?
Regatta offers short, regular, and long variants. Choose based on your inner leg measurement for the best fit.
Can I iron these trousers?
It is generally not recommended to iron technical stretch fabrics, as heat can damage the elastane and the DWR coating.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the zipped side pockets are designed to securely hold standard-sized smartphones and small outdoor accessories.
How should I wash them?
Machine wash on a cool setting. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, and air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric's integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the trousers and apply a DWR-restoring spray or treatment.
Trouser waist feels too loose
The part-elasticated waist is designed for comfort, but if movement is excessive, consider using a high-quality technical belt with the integrated belt loops.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Highton trousers starts with choosing the right fit. Since these come in various leg lengths and waist sizes, ensure you measure correctly to take advantage of the part-elasticated waist.
Care instructions are straightforward: the trousers are machine washable. To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using heavy fabric softeners which can clog the fabric pores. If the water-repellent properties diminish after several washes, you can use a standard spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore the factory finish.
