Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light Cargo Trousers are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and protective outdoor wear for activities like hiking, safaris, and travel. Their key benefit is the integrated anti-insect treatment combined with durable water repellency and UV protection, offering a comprehensive shield against the elements and biting insects. A minor caveat is that the lightweight fabric, while good for active performance, may not offer the same level of warmth as heavier materials for very cold conditions.

FAQs
How long does the anti-insect treatment last?
The duration of the anti-insect treatment can vary depending on wear and washing frequency. It is typically effective for a significant number of washes, but its efficacy may reduce over time. Re-treatment options are available to restore protection.
Are these trousers waterproof?
No, these trousers are not fully waterproof. They feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that helps shed light rain and moisture, but they are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These trousers are lightweight and designed for active performance. While they offer some protection, they are best suited for warm to temperate conditions. For cold weather, consider layering with thermal base layers.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, offering excellent sun protection for your skin.
How should I clean the trousers to maintain their features?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron. Proper care helps preserve the DWR and anti-insect treatments.
What are the pocket configurations?
The trousers feature two lower cargo pockets, providing accessible storage for essential items.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which consists of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Reduced effectiveness of anti-insect treatment
The effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment may decrease over time with washing. Consider using a wash-in or spray-on re-treatment product designed for outdoor clothing to restore protection. Follow product instructions carefully.
Water repellency is diminished
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off with use and washing. Apply a new DWR treatment (available as sprays or washes) to restore water repellency. Ensure the garment is clean before application and follow the product's instructions.
Trousers feel restrictive during intense activity
While designed for movement, ensure the correct size is being worn. Check that the articulated knee design is properly positioned for your leg length. For extreme activities, consider pairing with base layers for added mobility.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage technical fabric treatments. Tumble drying on a low heat setting can sometimes help restore softness. If stiffness persists, check the care label for specific recommendations.
