Regatta Pentre Lite Shorts - Blue - 8

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are primarily designed for hiking and active use, not as swimwear. They do not offer specific features for swimming.

The shorts feature a part-elasticated waist for comfort. Ensure the waist sits comfortably without digging in and that there is enough room for movement in the hips and legs.

These shorts are best suited for warm weather due to their lightweight and breathable design. For cooler conditions, layering with thermal base layers underneath might provide some added warmth, but they are not insulated.

UPF 50+ offers excellent protection against harmful UV rays, blocking over 98% of UV radiation. It's ideal for extended periods in direct sunlight.

Quick-dry fabric means that moisture (like sweat or light rain) evaporates from the material much faster than with standard fabrics, helping you stay comfortable and preventing the fabric from feeling heavy or damp.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time with washing and wear. It can be reapplied using specific DWR treatment products to restore its performance.

They are ideal for summer hiking, trail running, walking, travel, and general outdoor activities in warm weather.

Ensure the part-elasticated waist is fully extended. If still uncomfortable, consider trying a size up or an alternative style with a fuller elastic waistband.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is designed for light showers and splashes. For heavy rain, consider waterproof outerwear. The DWR finish may also diminish over time; reapplication of a DWR treatment can restore water repellency.

While designed for stretch, ensure the size purchased allows for full range of motion. Check that the fit is not too snug in the legs or seat.
