FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they shed light rain. They are not fully waterproof or seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
Are they suitable for winter?
They offer wind protection and are durable for cold weather, but they are not insulated. You may need a thermal base layer underneath for freezing temperatures.
How do I choose the right size?
These trousers are sized for children. We recommend checking the provided size chart against your child's waist and inseam measurements for the best fit.
Can I tumble dry these trousers?
Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the water-repellent coating. If you must use a dryer, always use the coolest setting.
What is the material composition?
The trousers are crafted from hard-wearing polyester, chosen for its durability and resistance to abrasion during outdoor play.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the trousers and apply a standard DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Elastic waistband feels too tight or loose
Ensure the waistband is centered correctly on the hips. The part-elasticated design is intended for flexibility; if it is uncomfortable, check for proper sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Softshell Trousers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip away the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent performance begins to fade, you can refresh it with a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor gear.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the elasticated waistband and fabric structure.
