FAQs
What does 'garment washed' mean?
Garment washing is a process applied after the shorts are constructed. It involves washing the finished garment with water and chemicals to achieve a softer feel, a slightly faded or vintage look, and to pre-shrink the fabric.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ offers excellent protection, blocking over 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays. It significantly reduces your exposure to UV radiation.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
Yes, for casual hikes in warm weather, the breathable cotton and durable construction make them suitable. However, for strenuous or wet conditions, synthetic materials with quick-dry properties might be more appropriate.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. These shorts feature a regular fit, so select the waist size that corresponds to your measurements.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the fabric is comfortable and breathable, it is 100% cotton and not designed for swimming. Cotton absorbs water and dries slowly, which can lead to discomfort and chafing if worn wet for extended periods.
What type of material is the 100% BCI cotton twill?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It signifies that the cotton is sourced from farms that aim to reduce the environmental impact of cotton farming, ensuring a more sustainable choice.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and avoid harsh detergents. Re-tumble dry on low heat or air dry flat to restore softness.
Color fading after a few washes
Wash inside out in cold water and always air dry in the shade to preserve color vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight during drying.
Pockets seem shallow
While designed for practicality, pocket depth can vary. For larger items, consider using a small pouch or bag.
