Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Leesville III Shorts are designed for active adults who prioritize outdoor versatility and comfort during everyday adventures. These lightweight, polyester shorts offer essential features like UPF 50+ sun protection and a quick-dry finish, making them ideal for hiking or casual warm-weather wear. One important caveat is that while they are highly functional, the lightweight material is best suited for fair-weather activities and may not provide significant insulation in colder climates.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and water-resistant, they are designed as casual outdoor hiking shorts rather than dedicated swimwear.
Do I need to wear a belt with these shorts?
The part-elasticated waist provides a comfortable fit on its own, but the belt loops allow you to add a belt if you prefer a tighter or more customized fit.
How do I ensure the right size?
The shorts follow standard UK sizing; check the waist measurement (e.g., 32 inches) to match your standard trouser size.
Is the fabric prone to snagging?
The polyester weave is durable for standard outdoor use, though care should be taken around sharp thorns or abrasive rocks.
What is the primary material used?
The shorts are crafted from 100% polyester, chosen for its quick-dry, crease-resistant, and moisture-wicking properties.
Can these be tumble dried?
It is recommended to air dry to prolong the life of the fabric coatings, but if necessary, use a very low heat setting.
Troubleshooting
Fabric appearing to soak up water
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; use a re-proofer spray designed for synthetic outdoor fabrics to restore water repellency.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure you are not using heavy fabric conditioners, as they leave a residue on synthetic fibers; wash again in plain water to remove any buildup.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent moisture management and quick-dry capabilities
- Enhanced sun protection (UPF 50+)
- Secure zippered pockets for reliable storage
- Comfortable fit due to the part-elasticated waist
Cons
- Material is lightweight and may not be suitable for extreme cold
- Limited to a standard regular fit, which may not suit all body types
- Polyester fabric lacks the natural breathability of cotton blends
Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts use a standard button fastening and a reliable zip fly, ensuring straightforward operation. To maintain the performance of the fabric, it is recommended to machine wash on a cool setting and avoid harsh fabric softeners that can degrade the DWR coating. For drying, air drying is preferred to preserve the integrity of the quick-dry fibers and the sun-protective treatment. The shorts are compatible with most standard-width utility belts should you require additional equipment support during more rigorous hikes.
