FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for heavy rain?

The Chaska III shorts feature a durable water-repellent finish, which is designed to repel light rain and splashes. They are not waterproof and may not be suitable for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the official Regatta size guide, which typically provides measurements for waist, hip, and inseam. It's recommended to measure yourself accurately before ordering.

Can I wear these in cold weather?

These shorts are lightweight and designed for warmer conditions. While they offer UV protection, they do not provide significant insulation for cold weather.

What does 'part-elasticated waist' mean?

This means that only a portion of the waistband is elasticated, usually the back, while the front may have a more traditional closure (like a button or zip). This offers a balance of secure fit and comfort.

How do I care for the water-repellent finish?

The finish can be reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat setting. For a more thorough restoration, consider using a fabric-specific re-proofer spray.

Are these shorts made from sustainable materials?

Yes, the Chaska III shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to environmental sustainability.

What is the UPF rating?

The shorts offer UPF 50+ protection, which means they block over 98% of UV radiation when the fabric covers the skin.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or too loose.

Consult the Regatta size chart for accurate measurements. The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustability, but selecting the correct size is crucial for comfort.

Water repellency is no longer effective.

Tumble dry the shorts on a low heat setting to reactivate the finish. If effectiveness continues to diminish, consider using a fabric-specific re-proofer spray according to product instructions.

Fabric appears creased after washing.

Ensure you are following the care instructions. Iron on a low heat setting. The 'crease-resistant' nature means they should not retain deep creases.

Discoloration after washing.

Check that you are washing at the recommended temperature (40°C) and with similar colors. Avoid bleach.
