FAQs
What is ISOFLEX technology?
ISOFLEX is Regatta's active stretch fabric technology that provides exceptional flexibility, quick-drying properties, and support, allowing for full range of motion during your outdoor activities.
Are these leggings waterproof?
No, they are not fully waterproof. They feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, meaning water will bead up and roll off in light rain or splashes. For heavy downpours, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended.
Do these leggings protect against the sun?
Yes, the fabric is rated with UPF 50+, offering excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays during sunny outdoor activities.
How should I wash my Regatta Monira Hiking Leggings?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Use a mild liquid detergent and absolutely avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and ironing. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang dry.
Is there a pocket on these leggings?
Yes, there is a convenient leg pocket, ideal for storing small essentials like your phone or keys while you're active.
Are these leggings high-waisted?
Yes, they feature a high-waisted design with an internal drawcord adjuster for superior coverage, support, and a customizable, comfortable fit.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the fabric (DWR seems ineffective).
This is normal wear and tear. First, try washing according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener, and then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't work, consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray specifically designed for outdoor technical fabrics.
Leggings feel too tight or restrictive during movement.
Ensure you have the correct size. While ISOFLEX offers stretch, an incorrect size can still feel restrictive. Check the size guide provided by Regatta. If the size is correct, ensure the drawcord is not overly tightened.
Discomfort or chafing during prolonged activity.
Ensure the leggings are clean before use, as dirt can cause abrasion. Verify the fit is snug but not constricting. Consider the type of underwear worn; seamless options are often preferred with active leggings to reduce friction. Stay hydrated.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the performance features and longevity of your leggings:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powdered detergents, as they can sometimes leave residues.
- Fabric Softeners: DO NOT use fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and compromise the DWR finish and breathability.
- Bleach: DO NOT bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or, ideally, hang dry in a shaded area. High heat can damage the elastane and DWR coating. Air drying helps preserve the fabric's integrity and DWR properties.
- Ironing: DO NOT iron.
- Dry Cleaning: DO NOT dry clean.
- DWR Maintenance: Over time, the DWR finish may wear off. If water no longer beads up on the surface, you can re-activate the existing DWR by tumble drying on low heat (if care label permits) or consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray designed for technical fabrics. Follow the instructions of the DWR product carefully.
