Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Travel Light Packaway Shorts II are designed for active women who prioritize mobility and convenience during outdoor adventures, offering superior stretch and built-in protection against the elements. These shorts are perfect for hiking, trail running, and travel due to their lightweight, quick-dry construction and innovative packable design. A key caveat is that while they include high-tech fabric treatments, they should be laundered carefully to preserve the longevity of the anti-insect and UV-protective properties.

FAQs
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is recommended to air-dry these shorts. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the ISOFLEX stretch fibers and the technical fabric coatings.
Does the anti-insect treatment wash out?
The treatment is designed to last through multiple wash cycles, but it will gradually lose effectiveness over time. Avoid harsh chemicals during laundering to maximize its life.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-dry, they are primarily designed for hiking and trail use. They can be worn near water, but they are not specifically marketed as swimwear.
What does the drying loop do?
The drying loop is a small strap on the inside or edge of the shorts that allows you to hang them on a hook or clothesline to help them dry faster after washing.
Are they true to size?
The shorts feature a part-elasticated waist, which allows for a slightly flexible and forgiving fit within your standard dress size.
Troubleshooting
Shorts are wrinkling in the packing pocket
Fold the shorts neatly before inserting them into the pocket to minimize deep creases and preserve the shape of the fabric.
Fabric feels less effective at repelling insects over time
Follow the garment care label precisely; over-washing with heavy detergents can strip the protective treatment. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer if necessary.
Difficulty zipping the packaway pocket
Ensure the fabric is laid flat and not caught in the zipper teeth. Do not force the zip; gently smooth out the fabric before closing.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your shorts in optimal condition, adhere to a gentle wash cycle using mild detergents; avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the ISOFLEX fabric. Because the shorts are designed to be quick-dry, they perform best when line-dried rather than tumble-dried. When packing, ensure the shorts are completely dry before compressing them into the leg pocket to prevent odors. These shorts are intended for adult use and pair best with technical base layers or moisture-wicking shirts.
