FAQs
Can these be machine washed?
Yes, they can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but we recommend avoiding harsh fabric softeners.
Is the anti-insect treatment permanent?
The treatment is designed for long-term use, though its effectiveness may diminish gradually after repeated deep washes.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and made of similar materials to swim trunks, they are primarily designed for trekking and travel.
Do the shorts have deep pockets?
They feature standard side pockets and a specific zipped pocket intended for packing the shorts away.
How should I choose the right size?
The shorts feature a part-elasticated waist, which offers some flexibility in fit, but it is recommended to follow the standard UK dress size guide provided by Regatta.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels less stretchy after many uses
Avoid using high-heat settings in the dryer, as heat damage can reduce the elasticity of the synthetic fibers.
Stains not coming out during standard wash
Pre-treat the spot with a gentle, non-bleach stain remover before placing the shorts into a standard cold-water wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Regatta Travel Light Packaway II Shorts remain in top condition, observe the following care practices:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the quick-dry and technical coatings.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. The material is designed to dry rapidly, so high-heat tumble drying is generally unnecessary and can degrade the stretch fibers.
- Storage: When packing away, ensure the shorts are completely dry before folding them into the pocket to prevent mildew or odors.
- Compatibility: These shorts pair well with technical base layers, hiking boots, or casual walking shoes, making them a staple for any outdoor-focused wardrobe.
