FAQs
What does ISOFLEX technology mean for these leggings?
ISOFLEX technology refers to the active stretch fabric that provides exceptional flexibility, full mobility, and support, allowing the leggings to move with your body during various activities without restricting movement.
Are these leggings suitable for all seasons?
These leggings are best suited for mild to warm conditions, thanks to their breathable and quick-drying properties, water-repellent finish, and UPF 50+ protection. For very cold weather, they would function well as a base layer under warmer outer clothing.
Can I use these for swimming or water sports?
While they have a water-repellent finish and quick-dry properties, they are designed for hiking and active pursuits, not specifically for swimming or extended immersion in water. Prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water may affect the fabric's integrity and DWR coating.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection for covered skin. This is highly effective for outdoor activities in sunny conditions.
What can I fit in the leg pocket?
The convenient leg pocket is designed for small essentials. It can typically hold items like keys, a small card wallet, energy gels, or most standard smartphones. Larger phones or bulky items might not fit comfortably.
Do these leggings run true to size?
Based on the design for a flattering silhouette and active fit, these leggings generally run true to size. For the best fit, it's recommended to consult the Regatta size guide if available, considering the stretch nature of the fabric (10% Elastane).
Will the water-repellent finish last forever?
No, the water-repellent finish (DWR) will gradually wear off over time and with repeated washing. To maintain performance, it's advisable to periodically re-treat the leggings with a DWR-restoring product specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel.
Troubleshooting
Leggings feel too tight or too loose at the waist.
Adjust the internal drawcord to achieve a customized and secure fit. If the overall sizing feels off, consider trying a different size.
Water repellency seems to be diminishing.
Ensure you are washing the leggings according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Over time, DWR coatings can wear off; consider re-treating the leggings with a wash-in or spray-on DWR product specifically designed for performance activewear.
Fabric snagged or pilled after use.
Avoid contact with rough surfaces, sharp objects, or abrasive materials. Wash inside out to minimize friction with other garments in the washing machine. Minor pilling can sometimes be removed with a fabric shaver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Wearing: Simply pull on the leggings. The high waist and stretch fabric are designed for easy donning. Use the internal drawcord to adjust the waist for a secure and comfortable fit.
Compatibility:
- Activities: Ideal for hiking, walking, running, yoga, gym workouts, and general activewear.
- Layering: Can be worn as a base layer under waterproof trousers for colder or wetter conditions, or on their own in milder weather.
- Footwear: Compatible with various athletic footwear, from hiking boots to running shoes.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (up to 30°C) with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish and fabric elasticity.
- Drying: Hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high heat as it can damage the Elastane fibers and the water-repellent coating. The quick-dry feature will assist in faster air drying.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Special Note: To maintain the water-repellent properties, re-treating with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) product designed for activewear may be necessary after multiple washes.
