Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Women's Chaska III Walking Shorts are designed for active women seeking lightweight, durable, and comfortable shorts for outdoor activities. Their key benefit lies in their quick-drying, water-repellent, and UPF 50+ protected fabric, making them ideal for travel and sunny days. A potential caveat is the part-elasticated waist, which offers comfort but may not provide a perfectly tailored fit for all body types. Key features include a crease-resistant finish, multiple pockets, and a focus on comfortable wear during movement.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
Yes, the lightweight and quick-drying fabric makes them suitable for hot weather. However, they offer minimal insulation and are best for activities where you generate your own warmth or in temperate to warm climates.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, paying attention to waist and hip measurements. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility.
Can I wear these for activities other than walking?
Absolutely. Their comfort and quick-drying properties make them suitable for a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, travelling, gardening, or simply casual wear on sunny days.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks approximately 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing excellent sun protection for your skin.
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The water-repellent finish is designed to withstand normal wear and washing. However, its effectiveness may decrease over time and with repeated washing. Reapplication of a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment can restore its performance.
Are the pockets zippered?
The product description does not specify zippered pockets. They are described as multiple pockets for keeping essentials close by.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or too tight at the waist.
Adjust the part-elasticated waistband. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is correct or if an alternative fit might be more suitable.
Water repellency seems reduced after washing.
Reapply a water-repellent treatment suitable for outdoor clothing after washing, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can affect water-repellent finishes.
Pockets feel insecure for small items.
Ensure items are placed securely within the pockets. For very small or valuable items, consider using a small pouch or bag for added security.
