Product Information
Full details
Designed for adult women, the Regatta Pentre Lite hiking shorts offer lightweight comfort and protection for warm-weather outdoor activities like hiking and trail running. Their key benefit is the combination of quick-drying, stretch fabric with UPF 50+ sun protection. A potential consideration is that the fit may be more suited to athletic builds due to the part-elasticated waist.

FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best suited for?
The Regatta Pentre Lite shorts are ideal for warm-weather hiking, trail running, walking, and other outdoor recreational activities where lightweight comfort and sun protection are important.
How should I care for these shorts to maintain their properties?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent, do not bleach, and either tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners and do not dry clean.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing excellent protection for your skin on sunny days.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they are not fully waterproof. They feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can repel light rain and splashes, but they will soak through in heavy downpours.
What is the material composition of the shorts?
The shorts are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, consisting of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane, weighing 130gsm.
How is the fit of the shorts, particularly the waist?
They feature a part-elasticated waist, which offers some adjustability for a comfortable fit. However, the overall fit is regular and may be best suited for those who find this style comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The part-elasticated waist provides some adjustability, but the main fit is determined by the waist and hip measurement. Verify the fabric is not bunched up.
Water repellency is reduced
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after washing to restore water-repellent properties. Follow the product's care instructions for washing.
Sun protection feels inadequate
While the shorts offer UPF 50+, prolonged direct sun exposure on any fabric can still cause some UV penetration. For extended periods in intense sun, consider reapplying sunscreen to exposed skin areas as a supplementary measure.
