Full details

The Regatta Leesville III men's walking shorts are designed for adult males seeking comfortable and practical legwear for outdoor activities in warm weather. Their key benefit is the quick-drying, crease-resistant polyester fabric that ensures ease of wear and care. A potential caveat is that while they offer UPF 50+ protection, they are not waterproof. Key features include durable water repellent finish, UV protection, multiple zipped pockets for secure storage, and a part-elasticated waist for a customizable fit.

FAQs

What is UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates that the fabric will block more than 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays when worn. It's a measure of sun protection provided by the fabric itself.

Are these shorts waterproof?

No, the Leesville III shorts have a durable water repellent (DWR) finish, which means they can shed light rain or moisture. They are not designed to be waterproof and will soak through in heavy rain.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Regatta. For these shorts, the size '36' refers to the UK men's waist size. Consider the part-elasticated waist for a flexible fit.

Can I wear these for swimming?

While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are designed for walking and outdoor activities. They are not swimwear and may not be suitable for extended submersion or strenuous water sports.

How should I care for the crease-resistant feature?

To maintain the crease-resistant quality, avoid using fabric softeners during washing. Tumble drying on low heat and low-heat ironing can also help preserve this feature.

What are the pocket sizes like?

The product description mentions multiple zipped pockets for secure storage. Specific dimensions are not provided, but they are typically designed to hold essentials like a phone, wallet, or keys.

Can the elasticated waist be adjusted?

The waist is described as 'part-elasticated,' meaning there is elastication on the sides or back of the waist for a comfortable, snug fit. There is no external drawstring for adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel damp after washing

Ensure the shorts are fully dry before storing. If they feel damp, air them out completely or tumble dry on a low heat setting again.

Zippers are stiff

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specific zipper lubricant to the teeth, then work the zipper back and forth.

Water repellency seems reduced

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can diminish over time. You can restore water repellency by washing the shorts and then tumble drying them on a low heat setting, or by using a specific fabric re-proofer spray available at outdoor stores.
