FAQs
Are these leggings fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Monira Hiking Leggings feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they are water-repellent and will shed light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and would not be suitable for heavy downpours without additional waterproof outerwear.
What activities are these leggings best suited for?
These leggings are ideal for a range of active outdoor pursuits, including hiking, trail walking, general outdoor exercise, camping, and even as comfortable active casual wear. Their flexibility and weather protection make them versatile.
Do these leggings have pockets?
Yes, they are designed with a convenient leg pocket, perfect for securely storing small essentials like your phone, keys, or a small snack.
How do I ensure the UV protection remains effective?
The UPF 50+ UV protection is inherent in the fabric design. Maintaining the fabric's integrity through proper care (following washing instructions and avoiding harsh chemicals) will ensure the UV protection remains effective throughout the garment's lifespan.
What is ISOFLEX technology?
ISOFLEX is Regatta's advanced active stretch fabric technology. It provides exceptional flexibility and quick-drying properties, ensuring comfort and unrestricted movement during dynamic activities.
Can I wear these leggings in cold weather?
While the fabric provides some warmth, these leggings are primarily designed for flexibility and weather protection in moderate conditions. For very cold weather, they can serve as an excellent base layer under insulated or windproof outer trousers.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be diminishing.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time or with repeated washing. Try washing the leggings with a technical outdoor gear-specific detergent (avoiding fabric softener), then tumble dry on a low setting or iron on a very low setting if the care label permits. If repellency still isn't restored, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-treatment product designed for activewear.
Leggings feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The high waist includes a drawcord, which can be adjusted for a more secure fit. If the overall fit is uncomfortable, check the Regatta size guide against your measurements, as sizing can vary.
Fabric retains odors after washing.
Activewear fabrics can sometimes hold onto odors. Ensure you are washing them promptly after use. Use a detergent specifically designed for sportswear, which can help eliminate bacteria and odors. Avoid overloading the washing machine to allow for thorough cleaning and rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
These leggings are highly versatile and compatible with various outdoor and active outfits:
- Layering: Can be worn as a comfortable base layer under waterproof trousers for colder or wetter conditions.
- Footwear: Pair them with hiking boots, trail shoes, or athletic trainers.
- Tops: Compatible with technical t-shirts, fleeces, or waterproof jackets depending on the weather and activity.
Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the performance and longevity of your Monira Hiking Leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric elasticity.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry by hanging the leggings away from direct sunlight or heat. This helps preserve the DWR finish and fabric integrity.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Reactivating DWR: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent finish may diminish. If you notice water soaking in rather than beading, you can revitalize it using a DWR-specific wash-in or spray-on treatment, following the product's instructions.
