FAQs
What type of activities are these shorts best for?
The Regatta Pentre Lite shorts are ideal for warm-weather activities such as hiking, walking, trail running, and general outdoor recreation where lightweight comfort and UV protection are desired.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they are not fully waterproof. They feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish that helps to shed light rain or splashes, but they are not designed for heavy rain.
How should I care for the DWR finish?
To maintain the DWR finish, avoid using fabric softeners and tumble drying on high heat. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended. You can re-apply a DWR treatment if needed.
What does UPF 50+ protection mean?
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks over 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays, providing excellent sun protection for your skin.
Can I wear these shorts in colder weather?
While they are lightweight, you can layer them with thermal base layers for added warmth in cooler conditions, though they are primarily designed for mild to warm weather.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from ISOFLEX active stretch fabric, which is composed of 86% polyamide and 14% elastane.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen if fabric softener was used. Wash again with a mild detergent, avoiding softeners, to restore suppleness.
Water repellency seems reduced
The DWR finish can wear off over time. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after cleaning.
Waistband feels too tight/loose
The part-elasticated waist offers some flexibility. Ensure you have selected the correct size. For minor adjustments, consider the fit during your activity.
