FAQs

Are these trousers fully waterproof?

No, these trousers feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which provides protection against light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.

What kind of activities are these trousers best suited for?

They are ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, rambling, and walking. Their durability and professional appearance also make them suitable for outdoor work roles.

How should I wash these trousers?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors and a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Will these trousers keep me warm in very cold weather?

As softshell trousers, they offer wind resistance and some thermal properties, but for very cold weather, we recommend layering them over a thermal base layer for adequate warmth.

Can I restore the water repellency if it wears off?

Yes, if the DWR finish begins to diminish, you can restore it using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for technical outdoor garments.

Do these trousers have a logo on them?

No, these trousers are designed with no external logo branding, providing a clean and professional look.

Are these trousers breathable?

Made from 100% polyester, they offer a good balance of wind resistance and comfort for active use. While generally breathable, they may feel warmer than lighter fabrics in extremely hot and humid conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

The DWR finish can wear off over time. Try washing the trousers according to care instructions, and if the issue persists, re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product designed for technical fabrics.

Zippers feel stiff or sticky.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray or graphite from a pencil) to the teeth to improve movement.

Trousers feel restrictive during movement.

Ensure you have the correct size. While they have stretch, an incorrect size can still lead to restriction. Check if any pockets are overfilled, which can pull the fabric.

Fabric appears creased or wrinkled.

Hang dry immediately after washing. If creases are severe, iron on a low heat setting, ensuring not to damage any reinforced panels or zippers.

Trousers are attracting lint or pet hair.

The polyester fabric can sometimes attract static and lint. Use a lint roller or a damp cloth to remove unwanted particles. Consider washing with an anti-static dryer sheet.

  • Enhanced durability with reinforced high-wear areas.
  • Secure storage options with multiple zipped pockets.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Getting started with your Regatta Professional Prolite Softshell Stretch Trousers is straightforward:

  1. Check Fit: Ensure the trousers fit comfortably around your waist (size 40 for this variant) and offer adequate length for your activity. The part elasticated waist provides some flexibility.
  2. Adjust: Utilize the natural stretch of the fabric by moving and bending to ensure full range of motion before heading out.
  3. Secure Pockets: Familiarize yourself with the front and rear zipped pockets for secure storage of your essentials.

Compatibility

These trousers are compatible with a variety of outdoor and professional wear:

  • Footwear: Best paired with hiking boots, walking shoes, or work boots for outdoor and professional use.
  • Layering: Can be worn over lightweight base layers in cooler temperatures or under waterproof overtrousers in heavy rain conditions (as they are DWR, not fully waterproof).
  • Activities: Suitable for hiking, rambling, dog walking, gardening, outdoor maintenance, light construction, and professional roles requiring durable, comfortable workwear.

Product Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trousers:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the DWR finish.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid high heat as it can damage the polyester fabric and DWR coating.
  • Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with any reinforced areas or zippers.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • DWR Reapplication: Over time, the durable water repellent finish may fade. You can restore it using a DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in product designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
