FAQs
What is ISOFLEX Active stretch fabric?
ISOFLEX Active is a fabric technology used by Regatta, characterized by its stretch, quick-drying, and breathable properties, designed for active outdoor wear.
How do I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water-repellent finish, wash the shorts according to care instructions and consider using a specific fabric waterproofing spray after several washes to refresh the treatment.
Are these shorts suitable for heavy rain?
The shorts have a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish which is effective against light showers. For prolonged or heavy rain, waterproof over-trousers would be recommended.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ signifies 'Ultraviolet Protection Factor' and indicates that the fabric blocks approximately 98% of harmful UV radiation, offering excellent sun protection.
Can I wear these shorts in colder weather?
While designed for active use in changeable conditions, they are primarily geared towards warmer weather. For colder conditions, layering with base layers or opting for walking trousers would be advisable.
What is the main benefit of the part-elasticated waist?
The part-elasticated waist provides a more comfortable and secure fit that adapts to your body movements, without being as restrictive as a fully elasticated waistband might be.
Does the product contain recycled materials?
Yes, the ISOFLEX fabric used in these shorts is made with recycled content, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight despite correct size.
Ensure the part-elasticated waist is correctly positioned. The fabric has some stretch, but for a looser feel, consider if a larger size might be preferred, though this may affect overall fit.
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
This is normal as DWR finishes can wear over time. Re-apply a fabric waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor clothing to restore water repellency.
Pockets feel insufficient for carrying items.
While there are multiple pockets, including a zipped one, consider using a small, lightweight backpack for larger items or if more storage is needed.
Fabric feels warm during very high temperatures.
The 145gsm fabric offers good all-round performance but may feel warm in extreme heat. For very hot conditions, lighter-weight shorts or trousers might be more suitable.
