Product Information

Full details

These Regatta Anti-Insect Travel Light shorts are designed for adult men seeking comfortable and protective apparel for warm-weather outdoor activities like hiking and travel. Their key benefit is the built-in anti-insect treatment and UPF 50+ protection, keeping you safe from biting insects and the sun. A potential caveat is that the lightweight fabric may not be suitable for extremely rugged conditions. Key features include Isoflex stretch fabric for mobility, quick-drying properties, multiple pockets for storage, and a part-elasticated waist for a secure fit.

FAQs

How long does the anti-insect treatment last?

The anti-insect treatment is designed to be durable and effective for the lifespan of the garment when cared for correctly. Following the washing instructions is crucial for maintaining its performance.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, these shorts are not designed to be waterproof. They are made from lightweight, quick-drying fabric suitable for warm weather, not for heavy rain protection.

What is the UPF rating and what does it mean?

The UPF rating is 50+, which means the fabric provides 'Excellent' protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It blocks over 98% of UV rays.

Can I wear these shorts in cooler weather?

These shorts are optimized for warm weather due to their lightweight and quick-drying properties. They offer minimal insulation and are best suited for temperatures where staying cool and protected from insects is the priority.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. The shorts feature a part-elasticated waist for some adjustability, but selecting the correct waist measurement is important for optimal fit and comfort.

What material are the shorts made from?

The shorts are primarily made from Isoflex active stretch fabric, consisting of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane.

Troubleshooting

Anti-insect treatment seems less effective over time.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners, as they can reduce the treatment's efficacy. Washing the garment according to the care label helps to refresh the treatment.

Shorts feel restrictive during strenuous activity.

Verify you have selected the correct size. The Isoflex stretch fabric is designed for movement, so if restriction occurs, it may indicate a sizing issue or the garment has not been properly cared for, potentially affecting fabric elasticity.

Pockets do not feel secure.

Ensure items placed in the zipped rear pocket are not overstuffed, which could prevent the zipper from closing fully. For maximum security, use the zipped pocket for essential items and be mindful of weight distribution in other pockets.
