Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light men's hiking shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and protective apparel for warm-weather outdoor activities. Their key benefit is the combination of lightweight, quick-drying stretch fabric with an integrated anti-insect treatment and UPF 50+ UV protection, allowing for unrestricted movement and defense against biting insects and sun exposure. A potential caveat to consider is that the anti-insect treatment's longevity may vary with washing.

FAQs
How long does the anti-insect treatment last?
The anti-insect treatment is designed to last for a significant number of washes, but its effectiveness may gradually decrease over time. Refer to product care guidelines for optimal maintenance.
Are these shorts suitable for very hot and humid weather?
Yes, the lightweight, quick-drying fabric is specifically designed for warm-weather adventures, offering comfort and breathability.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, providing excellent protection against sunburn and long-term skin damage.
Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?
While designed for warm weather, they can be layered with base layers for use in cooler conditions, though they do not provide significant insulation on their own.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Cool iron if needed.
What are the shorts made of?
They are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, consisting of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, with a fabric weight of 130gsm.
Do the pockets have zippers?
The shorts feature multiple pockets, including a secure zipped pocket on the rear.
Troubleshooting
Anti-insect treatment seems less effective
The effectiveness of the treatment can decrease over time with washing. Consider reapplying an appropriate fabric treatment if needed, following product instructions.
Shorts feel restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The part-elasticated waist offers some adjustment, but a proper fit is key for maximum comfort and mobility.
Fabric not drying quickly
Check care label for correct washing and drying methods. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impede drying. Ensure adequate ventilation when line drying.
