Regatta Professional Prolite Stretch Trousers - Black - 40

No, they feature a Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they will repel light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof and will eventually wet out in prolonged or heavy rain.

They are ideal for outdoor activities requiring freedom of movement and durability, such as walking, rambling, and hiking. Their reinforced areas and stretch fabric make them well-suited for varied terrains.

These trousers are multi-pocketed, featuring both front and rear pockets, all of which are zipped for secure storage of your valuables.

They are primarily crafted from a woven stretch polyester fabric, with ripstop stretch fabric used in key areas like the knees and seat for added durability.

While durable and water-repellent, they are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For colder conditions, we recommend layering them over a thermal base layer to provide adequate warmth.

> Info needed: Please refer to the specific care label inside the garment for the most accurate washing and drying instructions. Generally, it's advised to wash with a technical cleaner, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry. You may need to reapply a DWR treatment periodically.

The DWR finish can wear off over time or with repeated washes. Try cleaning the trousers according to care label instructions (once available) and if the issue persists, consider re-applying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor fabrics.

Ensure you have the correct waist size (e.g., 40 inches). While designed for stretch, personal fit preferences vary. Consider trying a size up if movement still feels restricted or consulting a sizing guide specific to Regatta Professional.

Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth using a small brush. If stiffness continues, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based spray) to the teeth, being careful to avoid getting it on the fabric.

Some technical fabrics can produce a slight swishing sound. This is often normal due to the durable material. Ensure the fit is not too loose, which can exacerbate fabric rubbing, and check if multiple layers underneath are contributing.
