Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Highton Trousers are designed for adult men who prioritize mobility and weather protection during outdoor activities like trekking, walking, or rambling. Featuring advanced Isoflex stretch fabric and a durable water-repellent finish, these trousers provide exceptional comfort and agility in unpredictable conditions. While they are highly versatile for most three-season outdoor pursuits, users should note that they are designed as lightweight hiking trousers and may require additional layering for extreme winter environments.

FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
They feature a water-repellent finish that sheds light rain, but they are not fully waterproof and are not a substitute for dedicated waterproof overtrousers.
Can these be worn in winter?
They are designed for three-season wear. For cold winter temperatures, you would likely need to wear thermal base layers underneath.
How should I wash them?
Use a machine wash on a cool, gentle setting. Do not use bleach or heavy fabric softeners as these can affect the performance of the fabric coatings.
What is the fit of the waist?
The waist is part-elasticated, which provides a flexible fit that can accommodate slight fluctuations and provides extra comfort when bending or climbing.
Do they provide sun protection?
Yes, the fabric is rated at UPF 50+, which blocks the majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Are these suitable for climbing?
Yes, the Isoflex stretch fabric is specifically designed to provide the agility required for climbing and active trekking.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has worn off. Apply a fabric-safe water-repellent re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore performance.
Trousers feel tight after multiple washes
Ensure you are not using high-heat drying, which can cause the elastane/spandex fibers to degrade or shrink.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent freedom of movement due to 4-way stretch fabric
- Effective water repellency for light rain and morning dew
- UPF 50+ protection is ideal for high-altitude trekking
- Lightweight and breathable design
- Practical zipped storage pockets
Cons
- Not intended for heavy-duty rain protection (unlike dedicated waterproof overtrousers)
- Lightweight material may be less durable against sharp rock abrasion
- Limited to three-season use without base layers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta Highton Trousers, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: These trousers are machine washable. Use a mild detergent and wash on a cool, gentle cycle to preserve the fabric's stretch and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting, though excessive heat can damage the elastane fibers over time.
- Re-treating Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR coating may lose its effectiveness. Use a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore the water-shedding properties.
- Compatibility: These trousers pair well with base-layer leggings during cooler autumn hikes but are designed to be worn standalone for spring and summer comfort.
