FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
These shorts are ideal for hiking, trail walking, travel, gardening, and general outdoor recreation due to their durable, quick-dry, water-repellent, and UV-protective features.
How do I ensure the right fit?
Refer to the Regatta sizing guide. The shorts feature a part-elasticated waistband, but it's important to select the waist size that corresponds to your measurements for the best overall fit.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Yes, the shorts have a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which will repel light rain and splashes. They are not waterproof, so heavy or prolonged rain may still penetrate.
How should I wash and care for the shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Iron on a cool setting. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV radiation, offering excellent sun protection for your skin.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the shorts feature two thigh pockets with zip closures, providing secure storage for your essentials.
What is the fabric weight?
The fabric weight is 105gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered lightweight and suitable for comfort during warmer weather or active pursuits.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
Wash the shorts and consider reapplying a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant.
Shorts feel tight around the waist
Utilize the part-elasticated waistband for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the provided size chart.
Discoloration after washing
Ensure you followed the washing instructions, especially regarding water temperature and detergent type. Wash with similar colors.
