Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Leesville III shorts are designed for adult men who prioritize functionality and comfort during outdoor activities or everyday wear. They provide an excellent combination of quick-dry performance, sun protection, and secure storage, making them a reliable choice for travel or hiking. One notable caveat is that the material, while durable, has a specific polyester feel that may not be preferred by those who exclusively favor natural fibers like cotton.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-dry, they are designed as casual outdoor shorts, not as dedicated swimwear. They lack the specific lining found in boardshorts.
Do the shorts have a lot of stretch?
The waist is part-elasticated for added flexibility, but the main polyester fabric has limited mechanical stretch compared to specialized performance tights.
What is the primary material?
The shorts are made from durable, lightweight polyester, selected for its crease resistance and moisture-wicking properties.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the specific UK waist size provided in the model description and account for the partial elastic waist which allows for a small amount of adjustment.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large phone?
The thigh pockets are designed to be secure and are suitable for medium-sized devices and standard travel essentials.
Can these be ironed?
Due to their crease-resistant nature, ironing is usually unnecessary. If you must iron, use a very low heat setting and a pressing cloth to avoid melting the synthetic fibers.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading off the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Consider using a technical garment re-proofer spray to restore the water-repellent finish.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clean any grit or debris from the zipper track using a soft brush. Applying a small amount of clear soap or specialized zipper lubricant can help restore smooth movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shorts feature a standard cut with a part-elasticated waist. Ensure you measure your waist circumference accurately to leverage the elastic flexibility.
- Styling: They include integrated belt loops, allowing you to customize the fit with your preferred belt.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish over time.
- Drying: The material is naturally quick-dry; air-drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity and UV protection ratings. Do not use high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the synthetic fibers.
