Full details
Designed for adult males, the Regatta Blanmont swim shorts offer quick-drying comfort and UV protection for beach and pool activities. While providing a secure pocket for essentials, they are made from 100% polyester microfibre, which may not be ideal for prolonged saltwater exposure without rinsing. Key features include quick-dry fabric, a built-in mesh brief with a security pocket, and UPF 50+ UV protection.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for competitive swimming?
The Regatta Blanmont swim shorts are designed for casual wear and comfort. While they offer UPF protection and quick-drying properties, they may not provide the specific fit or compression required for competitive swimming.
What is the benefit of the mesh brief liner?
The mesh brief liner provides added support and comfort, preventing the shorts from clinging uncomfortably and offering a secure feel.
Can I wear these shorts for hiking or other sports?
These shorts are optimized for water activities. While they are lightweight and quick-drying, they may lack the durability and support features needed for strenuous land-based sports.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Regatta. The adjustable drawcord waist also allows for some flexibility in fit.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Are these shorts chlorine-resistant?
While the polyester microfibre is durable, prolonged exposure to chlorine without rinsing can degrade the fabric over time. It is recommended to rinse the shorts with fresh water after swimming in chlorinated pools.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel heavy or waterlogged after swimming.
Ensure the shorts are fully rinsed with fresh water after each use to remove any salt or chlorine that might affect fabric performance. Check that the mesh liner is not clogged.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled or frayed. If frayed, consider replacing it. For stiffness, try gently working the cord through the eyelets.
Pocket does not feel secure.
The security pocket is designed for small, light items. Avoid overfilling it, as this can strain the stitching and reduce security. Ensure the item placed inside is not too large or bulky.
