Regatta Pentre Lite Shorts - Black - Size 16

The Regatta Pentre Lite shorts are ideal for warm-weather activities such as hiking, trail running, walking, and general outdoor leisure. They are designed for comfort and performance in mild to warm conditions.

Please refer to the sizing chart provided by Regatta, which typically includes waist and hip measurements for each UK dress size. Measure yourself accurately before purchasing.

No, the shorts are not fully waterproof. They feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which helps to shed light rain and moisture, but they are not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

These shorts are primarily designed for warm weather due to their lightweight construction. For cold conditions, they may be suitable as a base layer for mild cold, but they offer minimal insulation.

UPF 50+ offers excellent protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun, blocking approximately 98% of UV rays. This helps to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage during extended outdoor activities.

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents. Wash at low temperatures and tumble dry on a low setting, or re-proof with a suitable DWR treatment after several washes.

The shorts are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is composed of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, weighing 130gsm.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustability, but a proper fit is crucial for comfort and performance. Refer to the size chart for accurate measurements.

Fabric softeners and detergents can impact DWR. Wash according to care instructions and consider using a Nikwax or similar re-proofing treatment designed for outdoor clothing to restore water repellency.

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, as this can damage elastane fibres. Always follow the recommended low-temperature washing and drying guidelines.
