Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Action Shorts are a staple for any workforce operating in warmer conditions. These shorts provide a refined balance between utility and professional appearance, crafted from a durable polycotton fabric that resists the rigours of daily trade work. The addition of a water-repellent finish ensures that minor spills or light showers do not disrupt your day, allowing moisture to bead off the surface rather than soaking into the fibres.
Key Features
- Water-Repellent Polycotton: The fabric choice provides the breathability of cotton with the hard-wearing nature of polyester, treated to deflect water and keep you dry.
- Part-Elasticated Waistband: This design feature allows the garment to move with you, providing comfort during repetitive tasks like kneeling or lifting.
- Large Bellows Pockets: Two front pockets with hem bellows offer significant storage capacity for tools or components without feeling overly bulky.
- Secure Rear Pocket: Includes a concealed zip pocket to keep essential items like wallets or keys safe while on site.
- Integrated Belt Loops: Provides the option to add a work belt for additional support or tool pouch attachment.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight yet resilient polycotton blend, these shorts are engineered for performance. Unlike standard cotton shorts, this material is less prone to tearing and dries significantly faster, which is essential for busy professionals. The design incorporates hem bellows on the front pockets; this clever bit of tailoring means the pockets expand when full but sit flat when empty, maintaining a tidy silhouette.
The part-elasticated waist is a practical addition for those who find fixed waistbands restrictive. It ensures a consistent fit throughout the day, whether you are climbing ladders or driving between jobs. The water-repellent coating is a deliberate choice for the UK climate, offering a layer of protection against the unpredictable weather often encountered on outdoor projects.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Regatta Action Shorts offer excellent surfaces for branding. For a sophisticated and enduring finish, we recommend embroidery. It is particularly effective for company logos placed on the pocket or hem, providing a tactile, high-quality appearance that withstands frequent laundering. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting this craft since 1976, ensuring every stitch meets our exacting standards.
If you require larger, more impactful branding or promotional messaging, heat-applied print is an excellent alternative. It allows for vibrant, sharp designs that remain visible even from a distance. Both methods are handled with expert care at our Shropshire facility to ensure your branding represents your business professionally.
Use Cases
These shorts are the ideal choice for tradespeople, delivery drivers, and grounds maintenance crews working through the British summer. Their smart appearance also makes them suitable for warehouse managers and site supervisors who require a professional look that doesn't compromise on practical storage and durability.

Practical Advice
The Action Shorts feature a generous size range from 30" to 46". Due to the part-elasticated waist, they offer a forgiving fit, but we suggest referring to the size guide if you are between sizes to ensure the best possible comfort. They pair exceptionally well with our range of lightweight polo shirts for a complete summer uniform.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and water-repellent properties of your shorts, it is vital to follow the specific care instructions. We recommend a cool machine wash using pure soap flakes. Standard detergents can often strip the water-repellent coating and degrade the custom embroidery or print over time.
Bleaching must be avoided as it will weaken the polycotton fibres and cause significant colour fading. These shorts should not be tumble dried or ironed, as high heat can damage the synthetic components of the fabric and the adhesive used in printed branding.
Ensure all fasteners, including the concealed zip, are closed before washing to prevent them from snagging on the fabric or other garments. Finally, never store the shorts while damp; doing so can encourage the growth of mildew and permanently damage the material's integrity.
