Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Shorebay II Cargo Shorts are designed for adult men seeking comfortable, practical, and sun-protective apparel for holidays and casual wear. Their key benefit lies in the combination of soft, breathable cotton fabric and UPF 50+ sun protection, making them ideal for warm weather. A potential caveat is that the UV protection is only effective when the fabric covers the skin, meaning exposed areas are still vulnerable to sun damage. Key features include garment-washed cotton twill for a soft, worn-in feel, multiple functional pockets, and built-in UV 50+ protection.

FAQs
What is BCI cotton?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It's a program focused on making global cotton production more sustainable and beneficial for the people who produce it, the environment it grows in, and the industry's future.
How effective is the UPF 50+ protection?
UPF 50+ provides excellent protection, blocking over 98% of UV rays. However, this protection is only effective on the parts of your body that are covered by the fabric. Exposed skin will still require sunscreen.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
These shorts are best suited for casual wear and light outdoor activities. For strenuous hiking, especially in rugged terrain or extreme conditions, more technical, moisture-wicking, or durable fabrics might be preferable.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer and measure your waist. The product description specifies the UK waist size (e.g., 34). Ensure a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.
Can I wear these in the water?
While the fabric is breathable and quick-drying for casual wear, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are best suited for dry or damp conditions, not for prolonged submersion in water.
What does 'garment washed' mean?
Garment washing is a process where the finished garment is washed. This softens the fabric, reduces shrinkage, and gives the clothing a pre-worn, slightly faded, or vintage appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and consider air-drying or a low-heat tumble dry to preserve softness. A fabric softener can be used sparingly.
Color fades unevenly
Wash with similar colors and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight after washing. Follow care instructions for color retention.
Pockets feel restrictive
Ensure items are not overstuffed into pockets. The design is for practicality, not for carrying excessively large or heavy items which may alter the fit.
