FAQs
What is ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric?
ISOFLEX Active is a technical fabric designed for outdoor performance, offering a blend of stretch, comfort, and durability. It typically incorporates elastane for flexibility and often features water-repellent and UV-protective properties.
How do I choose the right leg length?
The trousers are available in short, regular, and long leg lengths. It's recommended to measure your inside leg or try on different lengths if possible to ensure a comfortable fit.
Are these trousers suitable for heavy rain?
The Highton II trousers have a durable water-repellent finish, making them suitable for light rain and showers. For prolonged or heavy rain, waterproof overtrousers may be more appropriate.
Can I wear these in warm weather?
Yes, the fabric is breathable and offers UV protection, making them suitable for warm weather. However, for very high temperatures, lighter weight or more ventilated trousers might be preferred.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) indicates that the fabric provides excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation, blocking at least 98% of UV rays when the fabric covers the skin.
Are the recycled materials used in the trousers certified?
The product information states the trousers are made from 94% recycled polyamide. Specific certifications would typically be detailed on the product's swing tags or the manufacturer's website.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water-repellent finish, avoid fabric softeners when washing and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially after several washes.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Wash the trousers according to care instructions and then reapply a suitable DWR treatment. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement
Ensure you have selected the correct size and leg length. The articulated knees and stretch fabric should allow for a full range of motion.
Zippers are difficult to open or close
Check for any fabric obstructions. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, these trousers are suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities including hiking, walking, and general outdoor pursuits. They pair well with other outdoor apparel.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Highton II trousers:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric integrity.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat or ironing, which can damage the DWR treatment.
- Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, reapply a water-repellent finish (e.g., Nikwax or Grangers) after washing, following the product's instructions. This is especially recommended after multiple washes to restore the DWR treatment.
