Product Information
Full details
The Regatta Leesville III men's walking shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and practical outdoor wear. Their key benefit lies in their lightweight, quick-drying, and crease-resistant fabric with UPF 50+ protection, making them ideal for warm weather and travel. A minor caveat is that the part-elasticated waist, while providing flexibility, might offer a less secure fit for some compared to fully adjustable waistbands. These shorts offer a durable water-repellent finish, ample pocket storage including zipped options, and are made from recycled materials.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for very hot weather?
The lightweight polyester fabric is designed for comfort in warm weather. While quick-drying and offering UV protection, some individuals may prefer natural fibers for extreme heat. They are ideal for active use where breathability is needed.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the sizing guide for Regatta products. The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility, but ensure the shorts fit comfortably around your hips and upper thighs without being restrictive.
Can I wear these for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying and water-repellent, these shorts are not designed as swimwear. They are intended for hiking and general outdoor activities.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The depth of the pockets can vary slightly, but the description mentions ample storage with front and side zipped pockets. It is recommended to check specific pocket dimensions if carrying a larger phone model.
How durable is the water-repellent finish?
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is designed to last through normal wear and washing cycles. Its effectiveness may decrease over time, but can often be restored with appropriate re-proofing treatments.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+. It indicates that the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's harmful UV radiation, offering excellent sun protection.
Are these shorts made entirely from recycled materials?
The product description states they are 'Made from recycled materials.' This typically means a significant portion of the fabric is recycled polyester, contributing to sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too loose or too tight at the waist.
Adjust the fit as much as possible with the part-elasticated waist. For a significantly different fit, consider trying a different size or a model with a full elasticated or adjustable waistband.
Water repellency seems reduced after several washes.
Water repellency can diminish over time. Consider using a re-proofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
Pilling or snagging on the fabric.
While durable, polyester can be prone to snagging on rough surfaces. Be mindful of where you are sitting or brushing against. If minor pilling occurs, a fabric shaver can be used carefully.
