Product Overview
The Regatta Professional Prolite stretch shorts are engineered for professionals who require a high degree of mobility without compromising on the durability expected of modern workwear. Constructed from a lightweight woven fabric, these shorts incorporate a significant proportion of recycled polyester, making them a responsible choice for the environmentally conscious business. The integration of a durable water-repellent finish ensures that light rain and spills do not impede your progress, while the stretch characteristics of the material allow for effortless movement during demanding physical tasks.
Key Features
- Woven stretch fabric provides exceptional flexibility, ensuring the garment moves with you during active workdays.
- Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps moisture bead off the surface, keeping the wearer dry during light showers.
- Part-elasticated waist offers an adaptive and comfortable fit that remains secure throughout various movements.
- Shank button at the waist provides additional strength at a high-stress closure point, preventing unexpected failures.
- Multiple zipped pockets at the front and rear offer secure storage for essential tools and personal items.
- Sustainable construction featuring recycled polyester helps reduce environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Prolite shorts is rooted in the technical composition of the fabric. By blending standard polyester with recycled fibres, Regatta has created a material that is both resilient and lightweight. The woven stretch nature of the fabric is particularly beneficial for trades requiring frequent crouching, climbing, or stretching, as it reduces resistance and the subsequent risk of fabric fatigue or tearing. The DWR treatment is a practical addition for the British climate, providing a necessary barrier against moisture while maintaining the breathability of the garment.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These shorts are well-suited for both print and embroidery, allowing you to maintain a professional brand identity. For a traditional and highly durable finish, embroidery is the preferred choice for company logos and individual names, providing a textured, high-quality appearance. If you require larger or more intricate graphic designs, our printing services offer a crisp and vibrant alternative. All customisation is managed by our expert in-house team in Telford, leveraging the skills we have refined since MyWorkwear was established in 1976.
Use Cases
These shorts are an excellent choice for tradespeople operating in warmer environments or during the summer months. They are particularly effective for landscapers, maintenance engineers, and delivery drivers who need to balance a professional appearance with the practical need for lightweight, flexible clothing. The secure zipped pockets make them ideal for those who need to keep small components or mobile devices safe while on the move.

Practical Advice
The part-elasticated waist on these shorts provides a degree of flexibility in fit; if you find yourself between sizes, this feature typically allows for a more comfortable experience. To create a complete summer uniform, we recommend pairing these shorts with a moisture-wicking technical polo shirt, which complements the breathable and active nature of the Prolite fabric.
Caring for your product
Proper care is vital to maintain the technical properties of the stretch fabric and the longevity of your custom branding. We recommend a standard machine wash at a moderate temperature to ensure the garment remains clean and professional. It is essential to wash dark colours separately to avoid any colour migration that could affect the clarity of your embroidered or printed logos.
Do not use bleach, as this will chemically damage the polyester fibres and significantly degrade the appearance of your customisation. These shorts should not be tumble dried, ironed, or dry cleaned. Subjecting the garment to high heat can compromise the elastic properties of the weave and may cause printed designs to peel or distort.
Always ensure the shorts are stored in a dry environment and kept away from direct sunlight when not in use. Storing garments while damp can lead to fabric deterioration, while prolonged sun exposure may cause the material and your branding to fade prematurely.
