FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for intense hiking?
They are ideal for trail walking and light hiking, but the lightweight nylon may be susceptible to snagging on heavy brush or sharp rocks.
How effective is the anti-insect treatment?
The treatment provides a helpful deterrent against insects, but it should be used in conjunction with other insect protection methods in high-risk areas.
Do these shorts have a liner?
No, these are standard active shorts without a built-in liner, allowing you to choose your preferred base layer.
Can I iron these shorts?
It is generally recommended to avoid ironing as high heat can affect the technical nylon fabric and the protective treatments.
What is the UPF 50+ rating?
This means the fabric blocks 98% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays, providing excellent sun protection for your skin in covered areas.
Troubleshooting
Shorts are difficult to pack into the pocket
Ensure the shorts are folded neatly rather than stuffed; use the fabric's flexibility to tuck corners in before zipping.
Waist feels too loose or too tight
The part-elasticated waist is designed for comfort; if the fit is inconsistent, ensure the elastic isn't twisted inside the waistband fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Regatta shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Packing: To pack the shorts, turn the designated zipped leg pocket inside out and fold the shorts into it until the zip can be closed.
- Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can degrade the technical properties of the fabric.
- Drying: Use the attached drying loop to hang them in the shade. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the elasticity and specialized treatments.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment over time.
