Product Information
Full details
These Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light Cargo trousers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and protective apparel for outdoor activities like hiking, safaris, and travel in warm weather. Their key benefit lies in the combination of lightweight, flexible fabric with an effective anti-insect treatment and UPF 50+ sun protection. A potential consideration is that the lightweight nature might not offer substantial warmth in colder conditions.

FAQs
How long does the anti-insect treatment last?
The duration of the anti-insect treatment typically depends on the specific formulation and the number of washes. Refer to the product's care label or Regatta's website for detailed information on its expected lifespan.
Can these trousers be worn in cold weather?
These trousers are designed primarily for warm weather due to their lightweight fabric. While they offer some protection, they may not provide sufficient warmth for very cold conditions. Layering with thermal base layers can add some warmth.
Are the trousers completely waterproof?
No, the trousers feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can shed light rain and moisture. They are not fully waterproof and may soak through in prolonged heavy rain.
What does 'articulated knee' mean?
Articulated knees are designed with extra shaping or seams to allow for a greater range of motion. This means the fabric bends more naturally with your knee, improving comfort and flexibility when walking, climbing, or bending.
What material are the trousers made from?
The trousers are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is approximately 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, with a weight of 130gsm.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain the treatments?
Wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softener. This process helps preserve the DWR and anti-insect properties.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Tumble dry on a low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment if performance does not improve.
Insect treatment seems less effective
The anti-insect treatment is designed to last for a specific number of washes (check product documentation for details). If effectiveness diminishes, consider replacing the garment or using a topical repellent as a supplement.
Fabric feels stiff or less flexible
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Ensure the garment is fully dried according to care instructions. Gentle stretching may help restore flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance of the fabric and its treatments (DWR and Anti-Insect), follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. This helps to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: For best long-term performance, consider re-applying a DWR finish after several washes, following the product's instructions.
- Avoid Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean these trousers.
