Product Information

Full details

These Regatta Leesville III hiking shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfort and practicality on outdoor adventures. Their key benefit lies in their versatile protection against the elements, including water repellency and UPF 50+ sun protection, coupled with quick-drying properties. A potential caveat is that while crease-resistant, they are made of 100% polyester, which may not appeal to those preferring natural fibers. Key features include lightweight, durable woven polyester fabric, a water-repellent finish, quick-drying capabilities, crease resistance, a part-elasticated waist for a flexible fit, and multiple pockets for essential storage.

FAQs

What type of outdoor activities are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for day hiking, walking, camping, and general outdoor wear, especially in changeable weather conditions due to their water-repellent and quick-drying features.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but choosing the correct waist size is crucial for comfort.

Will these shorts keep me dry in heavy rain?

The shorts have a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, waterproof outer layers are recommended.

Can I wear these shorts for travel?

Yes, the crease-resistant and quick-drying properties make them excellent for travel. They pack easily and maintain a neat appearance.

How should I wash and care for the shorts to maintain their performance?

Machine wash at 30°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays, providing excellent sun protection for your skin.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel damp after light rain.

The water-repellent finish is designed for light moisture. For heavy rain, additional waterproof gear is recommended. Ensure the finish is maintained with appropriate care and DWR treatments if needed.

Elasticated waist feels too tight or loose.

While part-elasticated, the fit is designed to be flexible. If it's consistently uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate. The elasticity offers some give, but it's not fully adjustable.

Zipper on pockets is stiff.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fabric feels warm during intense activity.

These shorts are made of polyester, which offers durability and quick-drying. For very high-intensity activities in extreme heat, consider lighter, more breathable fabrics or shorts with ventilation.
