FAQs
What is BCI cotton twill?
BCI stands for Better Cotton Initiative. It means the cotton used is sourced from farms that participate in programs aimed at improving cotton farming practices, focusing on sustainability and better environmental and social standards.
How effective is the UV 50+ protection?
UV 50+ offers excellent protection, blocking approximately 98% of harmful UV rays. However, this protection is only effective on the areas of skin that are covered by the fabric. Exposed skin will still need sun protection.
Are these shorts suitable for hiking?
Yes, they are suitable for light hiking due to their durability, comfort, and multiple pockets for carrying essentials. For very rugged or wet conditions, specialized hiking gear might be more appropriate.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the Regatta size chart, typically available with the product details online or on the product tag. Measure your waist and compare it to the provided measurements for the best fit.
Can I wear these in very hot weather?
Cotton is breathable, making these shorts comfortable for warm weather. However, in extreme heat, some users might prefer lighter, more moisture-wicking synthetic fabrics. The regular fit allows for some air circulation.
What does 'garment-washed' mean?
Garment washing is a process where the finished garment is washed after it has been sewn. This softens the fabric, pre-shrinks it slightly, and gives it a slightly faded, lived-in appearance.
Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and tumble drying on a low setting or air drying. Avoid high heat.
Fading of color
Wash the shorts inside out with like colors to minimize color loss. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
Pockets feel too small
The pockets are designed for standard items. For larger items, consider using a separate bag or pack.
Material feels stiff after washing
This can happen with cotton. Ensure you are using a fabric softener if desired, or tumble dry on low heat with a dryer sheet.
