FAQs

Are these trousers suitable for all seasons?

Being unlined, these trousers are best suited for warmer weather or transitional seasons. For colder conditions, we recommend wearing thermal base layers underneath for added warmth.

What does 'water-repellent' mean compared to 'waterproof'?

Water-repellent means the fabric has a treatment that causes water to bead up and roll off, offering protection against light rain and splashes. Waterproof garments are designed to completely prevent water penetration even in heavy downpours, often featuring taped seams and specialized membranes, which these trousers do not have.

Can I put these trousers in the tumble dryer?

Yes, you can tumble dry them on a low heat setting. However, for best results and to prolong the life of the fabric and its water-repellent finish, air drying is often preferred.

What is 180gsm polycotton fabric?

180gsm refers to the fabric's weight in grams per square meter, indicating a medium-weight, durable material. Polycotton is a blend of polyester and cotton, combining the strength and quick-drying properties of polyester with the comfort and breathability of cotton.

Do these trousers stretch?

The polycotton blend offers some natural give and flexibility for movement, but it is not designed to be a high-stretch fabric like those containing elastane. For optimal comfort, ensure you select the correct size.

Are there specific detergents I should use?

A mild liquid detergent is recommended. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and especially fabric softeners, as these can impair the water-repellent treatment and overall fabric performance.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems to be diminishing.

This is normal over time. Wash the trousers according to care instructions (without fabric softener) and then apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor fabrics. Heat activation (e.g., a short tumble dry on low or a low iron) after application can often help.

Trousers feel stiff after washing.

Ensure you are not using too much detergent and are rinsing thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners as they can affect performance. A low tumble dry or gentle ironing can help soften the fabric.

Fabric has a snag or small tear.

For small snags, gently try to ease the fabric threads back into place. For small tears, an iron-on patch or a fabric repair kit designed for synthetic/polycotton materials can provide a temporary or permanent fix. For larger damage, professional repair may be needed.

Pockets are not holding items securely.

Check if the pocket seams are intact. If small items are slipping out, consider adding small pouches or using zippered pockets for very valuable items. Avoid overfilling pockets.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your Regatta Action Trousers, especially their water-repellent properties.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can sometimes clog the fabric's water-repellent treatment and reduce its effectiveness. Use a mild detergent.
  3. Bleaching: Do not bleach. Bleach will damage the fabric fibers and treatments.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang dry. High heat can damage the polycotton blend and its water-repellent finish. Air drying is often best for preserving technical fabrics.
  5. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Do not iron directly over any printed logos or labels.
  6. Re-treatment: Over time, the water repellency may diminish. You can restore it by using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outdoor clothing after washing.
