Trousers & Shorts<br />
Take a giant leap forward this <strong>summer</strong> (in legwear that’s ready for it).<br />
THE MASTERCLASS<br />
REGATTA<br />
HIGHTON ZIP-OFF<br />
WALKING TROUSERS<br />
Your legs are the turbines that power every move you<br />
make on a walk, from slithering around a churned-up<br />
field path to boulder-hopping on a high summit.<br />
So wrap them in armour that knows how to respond to<br />
all those weird and unusual movements, while keeping<br />
them warm or cool,<br />
dry and ventilated,<br />
no matter what the<br />
weather is doing.<br />
In this section we’re<br />
looking at legwear<br />
that’ll take you<br />
from beach to<br />
beacon, and from<br />
peak to pub. Here<br />
to show how it’s<br />
done are Regatta’s<br />
tried and tested<br />
Highton zip-offs,<br />
which are literally<br />
ready for anything…<br />
STORAGE<br />
Although most of your kit will<br />
likely be in your rucksack,<br />
pockets and extra storage are<br />
always useful for phones, GPS,<br />
maps, a bit of cash, medicines<br />
etc. Here there are four<br />
storage options including<br />
zipped main pockets.<br />
QUICK DRYING<br />
It’s also helpful if your<br />
trousers will dry out<br />
quickly after a soaking.<br />
The lightweight synthetic<br />
fabric in these trousers<br />
allows moisture to wick<br />
away and evaporate<br />
quickly.<br />
COME RAIN,<br />
COME SHINE<br />
They don’t need to be fully<br />
waterproof, but it’s ideal if<br />
your legwear can hold<br />
off squally showers or<br />
persistent drizzle. On the<br />
Highton trousers there’s a<br />
Durable Water Repellent<br />
finish (DWR) – but also<br />
40+ UPF sun protection to<br />
keep those harsh rays off<br />
your legs.<br />
COMFORT<br />
First and foremost,<br />
<strong>summer</strong> walking<br />
trousers need to be<br />
comfy and responsive<br />
over many miles. The<br />
Highton is made with<br />
Regatta’s Isoflex active<br />
stretch fabric – a blend<br />
of tough polyamide and<br />
stretchy elastane means<br />
they respond to what<br />
you’re doing and feel<br />
great on the go.<br />
CONVERTIBILITY<br />
Zip-offs are fantastic<br />
for switching between<br />
practical protection and<br />
fun in the sun. The Highton<br />
trousers zip off smoothly<br />
and offer easy and<br />
faff-free reattachment.<br />
How much &<br />
where from?<br />
£75 (men’s), £65<br />
(women’s) and often<br />
discounted, making<br />
them great value. Find<br />
