FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, camping, gardening, and casual wear, especially in variable weather conditions due to their water-repellent and quick-dry features.
How do I know if the size 38 waist will fit me?
The size 38 waist is a standard measurement. It's recommended to check the Regatta sizing chart for precise waist and inseam measurements to ensure the best fit.
Can I wear these shorts in heavy rain?
The shorts have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof garment would be more appropriate.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
The shorts are lightweight and quick-drying, which is beneficial in warm weather. However, being 100% polyester, they may be less breathable than natural fibers in extremely high temperatures.
How many pockets do the shorts have, and are they secure?
The shorts feature two side pockets and two thigh pockets, all of which have zip fastenings for secure storage of your belongings.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ signifies excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. It means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UV rays, significantly reducing sun exposure.
How should I care for the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the water repellency, avoid using fabric softeners and bleach. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after several washes according to the product's instructions.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying temperature guidelines. Tumble drying on a low heat can help soften the fabric.
Water repellency seems reduced
Reapply a water repellent treatment designed for outdoor fabrics after several washes. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade the DWR finish.
Zipper on pockets is difficult to use
Ensure the zipper area is free from debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small application of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Fit is too loose or too tight
While the part-elasticated waist offers some adjustability, consider if this is the correct size for your body measurements. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate waist and length measurements.
