FAQs
Are these trousers fully waterproof?
No, these trousers are made with `water-repellent` softshell fabric, meaning they will shed light rain and splashes. They are not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What activities are these trousers best suited for?
They are ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as rambling, hiking, trekking, and general outdoor work, where comfort, freedom of movement, and protection from wind and light moisture are important.
How many pockets do these trousers have and are they secure?
The trousers feature `multiple pockets`, including `front and rear zipped pockets`, providing secure storage for your essentials during activity.
What material are the trousers made from?
They are crafted from a durable `woven stretch fabric` primarily `Polyester`, with `ripstop fabric` reinforcements in key areas like the knees and hem for enhanced durability.
How should I wash these trousers to maintain their performance?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
Do these trousers provide warmth in cold weather?
The `windproof` softshell fabric offers good protection against wind chill. However, for very cold conditions, these trousers are best worn as an outer layer over suitable thermal base layers.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel too tight or too loose despite correct size.
The `part-elasticated waist` offers some flexibility. If discomfort persists, check the product's sizing guide against your measurements, or consider trying an alternative size for a better fit.
Water repellency seems to be diminishing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing, as it can block the DWR treatment. Wash the trousers according to care instructions, then consider applying a spray-on or wash-in DWR re-proofer designed for outdoor gear.
Zippers snag or are difficult to operate.
Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or zipper wax) to the teeth to improve movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Fabric appears to be losing its stretch.
Over-stretching or improper care (e.g., high heat drying) can affect fabric elasticity. Ensure you follow the washing and drying instructions carefully. If the issue is significant, it might indicate wear and tear over time.

Care Instructions
Proper care will maintain the performance and longevity of your Regatta Professional Prolite Stretch Trousers.
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, as fabric softener can compromise the water-repellent finish.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Air drying is preferable to preserve the fabric's integrity and water repellency.
- Ironing: Do not iron.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. Consider re-treating with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) product designed for outdoor apparel if you notice water no longer beads up on the fabric surface.
> Info needed: Always refer to the garment's specific care label for the most accurate washing instructions, as these can vary slightly by batch.
