Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting Started
Upon receiving your Regatta Professional Prolite Stretch Trousers, try them on to ensure the size_mens_waist_uk: 32 is appropriate for your body. The part elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but an initial good fit is crucial for comfort during activity.
Compatibility
These trousers are highly compatible with a range of outdoor activities and gear:
- Activities: Best suited for hiking, trekking, rambling, outdoor work, camping, and general active outdoor use in mild to moderate weather conditions.
- Layering: Can be worn over base layers in cooler temperatures or as a standalone garment in warmer, dry conditions. They pair well with waterproof outer shells for heavy rain protection.
- Footwear: Designed to be compatible with walking boots, hiking shoes, and trail runners.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life of your trousers and maintain their performance, especially the DWR finish.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colours. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair the DWR finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. High heat can damage the fabric and DWR coating.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a cool setting. Avoid ironing over any printed logos or reinforced areas.
- DWR Maintenance: The Durable Water-Repellent finish will gradually wear off with use and washing. To restore it, use a DWR-restoring product available from outdoor retailers. Follow the product's instructions for application, which often involves a wash-in or spray-on treatment followed by a low-heat tumble dry or careful ironing to activate.
- Storage: Store in a clean, dry place. Ensure the trousers are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
