Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Pro packaway overtrousers are an essential layer for any professional working in the unpredictable British climate. Designed to be stored discreetly until needed, these trousers offer immediate protection against sudden downpours without the bulk of traditional waterproof gear. Constructed from specialized Isolite fabric, they provide a reliable barrier against the elements while maintaining a lightweight profile that won't hinder your movement on site. Whether you are caught in a brief shower or a prolonged storm, these overtrousers ensure you remain dry and comfortable without having to compromise on mobility.
Key Features
Isolite Polyamide Fabric: This advanced material is both waterproof and breathable, ensuring you stay dry from external rain while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape during physical exertion.
Taped Seams: Every internal join is meticulously taped to prevent water seepage through the stitching, providing a complete seal against the wet.
Windproof Construction: The dense weave of the fabric acts as a barrier against biting winds, helping to maintain your core temperature in exposed environments.
Elasticated Waist: A flexible waistband allows for quick application over existing workwear and ensures a secure, comfortable fit that moves with the body.
Adjustable Hem: Press stud adjustments at the ankles allow you to create a tight seal around your boots, preventing splashes and drafts from entering.
Integrated Stuff Sack: The trousers are designed to fold into themselves for compact storage, making them easy to keep in a tool bag or vehicle.
Design & Performance
Performance in the field is dictated by fabric technology. These overtrousers utilize a lightweight polyamide shell treated with a durable water-repellent finish. This finish encourages water to bead and roll off the surface rather than saturating the fibers, ensuring the garment remains light even when wet. The Isolite technology is particularly beneficial for active roles, as it prevents the humid, uncomfortable sensation often associated with lower-quality waterproofs by facilitating consistent airflow.
The inclusion of two side pocket openings is a thoughtful design touch, allowing you to access the pockets of your primary trousers underneath without needing to remove the protective layer. The entire garment is engineered for durability despite its minimal weight, making it a dependable backup for any outdoor professional who cannot afford to be slowed down by the weather.
Why No Customisation?
We provide these overtrousers as a non-customisable item to preserve their technical performance. The primary function of this garment is to remain entirely waterproof. Applying embroidery would involve piercing the Isolite fabric and the taped seams with thousands of needle holes, which would immediately compromise the garment's ability to keep you dry. Furthermore, the specialized water-repellent coatings can prevent heat-applied transfers from bonding correctly, potentially leading to premature peeling of a logo. For these reasons, we sell this item as-is to ensure your protection remains absolute.
Use Cases
These overtrousers are ideal for tradespeople who spend significant time outdoors but require the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions. They are perfectly suited for site managers, delivery drivers, and surveyors who may need to transition from a vehicle or office to a wet site environment at a moment's notice. Because they pack into a compact stuff sack, they are a sensible addition to the kit of any professional working in logistics, construction, or maintenance.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, remember that these are designed to be worn over your standard work trousers. We recommend sticking to your usual size as the cut is already generous to accommodate layering. However, if you frequently wear heavy-duty thermal trousers or bulky cargo pants underneath, you might consider sizing up for additional comfort. Ensure the hem studs are fastened securely over your footwear to maximize the waterproof seal and prevent the trousers from dragging.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance waterproof and breathable properties of the Isolite fabric, it is essential to follow specific care routines. We recommend a cool machine wash using Regatta Isotex cleaner or a very mild pure soap. Standard household detergents often contain surfactants that can strip the water-repellent coating and clog the breathable pores of the fabric, leading to a significant loss of performance over time.
Avoid the use of bleach at all costs, as the harsh chemicals will degrade the polyamide fibers and damage the integrity of the taped seams. While the trousers can be tumble dried on a low setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish, they must never be ironed. High heat from an iron will melt the synthetic fibers and destroy the waterproof membrane. Likewise, dry cleaning chemicals are far too aggressive for this technical garment and should be avoided to ensure a long and effective service life.
