FAQs
Are these leggings fully waterproof?
No, the Regatta Monira Hiking Leggings feature a water-repellent finish, which means they will shed light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
Can I wear these leggings in hot weather?
Yes, they are suitable for mild to warm conditions. The ISOFLEX fabric is designed for active use. However, as they are primarily made of Polyester, they may feel warmer than natural fibers like merino wool or cotton in very hot and humid environments.
How do I maintain the UPF 50+ sun protection?
The UPF 50+ rating is inherent to the fabric's weave and material, meaning it will generally last for the lifetime of the garment with proper care. It does not wash out or wear off like a chemical treatment.
Do these leggings have pockets?
Yes, they feature a convenient leg pocket, perfect for securely storing small essentials like keys, a phone, or an energy gel during your activities.
What material are the Regatta Monira Hiking Leggings made from?
These leggings are made from Polyester, utilizing Regatta's ISOFLEX technology for stretch and flexibility.
Are they suitable for high-intensity exercise?
Yes, the ISOFLEX active stretch fabric is specifically designed to provide full mobility and support, making these leggings suitable for high-intensity exercises, running, hiking, and other dynamic activities.
How do I adjust the waist?
The high waist design includes an internal drawcord adjuster. Simply pull the drawcord to tighten or loosen the waistband for a secure and customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be diminishing.
Ensure you are washing the leggings with a technical fabric cleaner, not regular detergent or fabric softener. If the issue persists, consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofing spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor clothing.
Leggings feel less supportive or have lost some stretch.
Improper washing or drying, particularly using high heat or fabric softeners, can damage the elastic fibers. Always wash cold on a gentle cycle and air dry. If damage is permanent, it may be due to prolonged heavy use or incorrect care over time.
Unpleasant odor retention after activity.
Synthetic fabrics can sometimes retain odors. Wash the leggings promptly after use. Use a sports-specific detergent designed to neutralize odors. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.

Care Instructions
Proper care will help maintain the performance and longevity of your leggings, especially the water-repellent finish and stretch properties.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can degrade the water-repellent coating and elasticity of the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry by hanging. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fabric fibers and reduce elasticity.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
- Re-proofing (Optional): Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it by using a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) product specifically designed for technical outdoor fabrics. Always follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
