Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Chaska III women's hiking shorts are designed for adult females seeking lightweight, comfortable, and functional apparel for outdoor activities. Their key benefit lies in their quick-drying, crease-resistant, and UV-protective fabric, making them ideal for travel and warm weather. A potential caveat is their part-elasticated waist, which may offer less secure fit for some body types compared to fully adjustable waistbands.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for trekking in mountains?
Yes, their lightweight, quick-drying, and UV-protective features make them suitable for day treks. For colder or more rugged mountain conditions, consider layering or a different type of outdoor trousers.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta. The part-elasticated waist offers some give, but ensure the shorts fit comfortably around your hips and waist without pulling or feeling too loose.
Can I wear these in light rain?
Yes, the water-repellent finish will help shed light rain. However, they are not waterproof and may become saturated in prolonged or heavy downpours.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, offering excellent sun protection for the skin covered by the garment.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on a low setting. Refer to the care label for specific instructions.
Are these shorts truly wrinkle-free?
The shorts are described as 'wrinkle-free,' meaning they are highly crease-resistant, making them ideal for travel. Minor creases might appear with significant folding or wear, but they generally recover well.
What materials are these shorts made from?
They are woven from 100% recycled polyester, with a fabric weight of 105 g/m².
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but if it consistently feels too tight, consider a size up or a different style with a fuller elastic or drawstring.
Water repellency is reduced
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for polyester fabrics following the product's instructions.
Fabric appears wrinkled after washing
While crease-resistant, some minor wrinkling may occur. Try removing the shorts from the washing machine promptly and hang them to dry. A low-heat iron can also be used if necessary.
