Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Leesville III men's hiking shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and practical outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in their versatile protection against the elements, offering water repellency and UPF 50+ sun protection. A potential caveat is that the lightweight fabric, while great for quick drying, might be less durable for extremely rugged terrain. These shorts are made from a lightweight, durable, and soft 100% polyester woven fabric (105gsm) that is crease-resistant, quick-drying, and features a water-repellent finish. They also include UV Protection (UPF 50+), a part-elasticated waist for a secure fit, and multiple pockets for storage.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and water-repellent, they are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are best suited for hiking, walking, and general outdoor activities.
How do I know which size to choose?
Refer to the size guide provided by Regatta, paying close attention to the waist measurements. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but choosing the correct waist size is important for comfort.
Can I wear these in cold weather?
These shorts are lightweight and primarily designed for warmer or changeable weather. For cold conditions, they can be worn as a base layer, but dedicated thermal or insulated outerwear is recommended.
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish is effective for a period but will naturally degrade with wear and washing. Periodic reapplication of a DWR treatment will help maintain its performance.
What should I do if the shorts get stained?
For most common outdoor stains, treat the area with a mild stain remover before washing. Follow the general washing instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or its treatments.
Are the zipped pockets large enough for a smartphone?
The size of smartphones varies. The zipped pockets are designed to hold essentials securely. It is recommended to check the dimensions of your phone against the pocket size if possible, or test fit before relying on them for storage during activities.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Reapply a fabric-specific DWR treatment or waterproofing spray according to the product instructions.
Shorts feel warm in very hot weather.
While quick-drying, the polyester material may feel warmer than natural fibers in extreme heat. Ensure proper hydration and consider wearing them in slightly cooler conditions or during activities with more movement.
Seams or pockets showing wear.
For minor wear, reinforce with strong thread and needle. If significant damage occurs, professional repair might be needed. Inspect regularly for potential issues.
