Regatta Shorebay II Cargo Shorts - Red - Size: 30

Garment washing is a process where the finished garment is washed before it is sold. This pre-washes the fabric to give it a softer feel, a slightly faded or vintage look, and to pre-shrink it, making it more comfortable and stable in size after you wash it at home.

UPF 50+ is a high rating, meaning the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. It provides excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage when worn.

While durable for casual wear, the Shorebay II shorts are primarily designed for comfort and practicality in relaxed settings like holidays or everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for strenuous athletic performance or activities like intense hiking.

The description mentions 'multiple pockets,' typically indicating at least two side pockets, two rear pockets, and often cargo pockets on the thighs, common for cargo-style shorts.

BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. Cotton produced under this standard aims to improve cotton farming practices globally, focusing on environmental sustainability, farmer livelihoods, and traceability.

These shorts are made from cotton, which absorbs water. While they can be worn in damp conditions, they are not quick-drying or water-resistant. They are best suited for dry or mildly humid weather.

Ensure you are following the care instructions, particularly regarding washing temperature and detergent. Some stiffness may be temporary and resolve with wear.

Pocket depth can vary. For larger items, consider using a separate pouch or bag. These pockets are designed for everyday essentials like keys and phones.

Always wash with similar colors and use a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying, as this can accelerate fading.
