FAQs
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers are water-repellent. This means they offer protection against light rain, mist, and splashes. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a fully waterproof overtrouser.
What activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for various outdoor activities such as rambling, hiking, trekking, walking, and general outdoor work where flexibility and durability are key.
What material are the Regatta Professional Prolite Trousers made from?
They are crafted from a durable polyester woven stretch fabric, providing comfort and flexibility for active use.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors and a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Hang to dry. Avoid tumble drying and ironing to preserve the fabric and water-repellent treatment.
Do these trousers provide any warmth?
As 'softshell' trousers, they offer a degree of thermal insulation and wind resistance, making them suitable for cooler conditions. For very cold weather, layering is recommended.
Are there different sizes or colors available?
Yes, the Regatta Professional Prolite Softshell Stretch Trousers are available in various waist sizes and colors, including Black and Navy. Please check the product listings for all available options.
Can I use these for professional or work wear?
Yes, with their durable construction, reinforced knees and hems, and practical pockets, they are well-suited for many professional outdoor roles or trades requiring flexible and robust legwear.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be reducing.
This is normal over time with wear and washing. Restore the water-repellent finish by applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel.
Trousers feel restrictive during movement.
Ensure you have the correct waist size. While the fabric is stretchy, an incorrect size can still limit movement. The 'Prolite Stretch' design is intended for unhindered motion.
Pockets don't feel secure enough for important items.
Utilize any zippered pockets for higher security. For non-zippered pockets, consider using small pouches or cases for very valuable or small items.
Fabric appears to be losing its shape or elasticity.
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as these can degrade elastic fibers. Also, ensure you are not tumble drying at high heat, which can damage the polyester fabric.
Unpleasant odor develops after use.
Wash the trousers promptly after heavy use. For stubborn odors, consider using a specialized sports detergent designed to neutralize odors in synthetic fabrics.
