FAQs
How long does the anti-insect treatment last?
The effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment can vary depending on usage and washing frequency. It is designed to provide protection over a significant period, but its efficacy may diminish over many washes. Following the care instructions carefully will help maintain its performance for as long as possible.
Are these trousers waterproof?
These trousers feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which helps repel light rain and water. They are not fully waterproof and are best suited for protection against light showers rather than prolonged heavy rain.
Can I wear these in hot weather?
Yes, the trousers are lightweight and quick-drying, making them suitable for warm weather. The UPF 50+ protection also helps shield your skin from the sun.
What is the best way to wash these trousers?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting and cool iron if necessary. Washing with similar colours is recommended.
What does 'articulated knee' mean?
Articulated knees are designed with pre-shaped panels or seams that allow for a greater range of movement in the knee joint. This feature is particularly beneficial during activities like hiking or climbing, where bending the knees is frequent.
What is Isoflex stretch fabric?
Isoflex is Regatta's own range of active stretch fabrics, typically a blend of polyamide and elastane. It is engineered to provide flexibility, durability, and comfort for outdoor performance wear.
Do these trousers offer protection in very cold weather?
These trousers are designed for active outdoor use and are lightweight. For colder conditions, layering with thermal base layers or adding warmer mid-layers underneath is recommended for adequate insulation.
Troubleshooting
Trousers feel restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The articulated knee design and stretch fabric should provide ample movement; check that nothing is impeding the fabric.
Water is soaking through
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish is designed for light rain. For heavy downpours, waterproof outer layers are recommended. The DWR can be replenished using specific re-waterproofing sprays after multiple washes.
Insect protection seems reduced
The anti-insect treatment may fade over time with washing. Adhere to the recommended washing instructions and consider reapplying insect repellent treatments specifically designed for clothing if prolonged high-level protection is needed.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can occasionally happen with technical fabrics. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and follow the tumble dry instructions. A cool iron may also help soften the fabric.
