Full details
The Columbia Ridge Shorts are designed for active men who prioritize comfort and utility during outdoor excursions. Featuring Omni-Wick technology for moisture management and built-in UPF 50 sun protection, these shorts keep you dry and shielded from harsh rays during long hikes. While the technical polyester fabric provides exceptional durability and performance, users should note that the regular fit may feel looser than performance-specific compression gear.

FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While made of quick-drying polyester, they are designed as hiking/cargo shorts and lack a mesh liner, so they are not recommended for use as dedicated swim trunks.
How should I wash the shorts?
Wash in cold water with like colors and skip the fabric softener to preserve the moisture-wicking treatment.
Can I remove the integrated belt?
Yes, the belt is removable, allowing you to use it on other pants or replace it with a belt of your choosing.
What does the gusset detail provide?
The gusset is an extra piece of fabric added to the crotch area, which reduces stress and allows for better movement during physical activities.
Does the fabric stretch?
The material is primarily durable recycled polyester. While it is lightweight and breathable, it does not have the high spandex content found in compression gear.
Troubleshooting
Belt slips or loses tension during activity
Ensure the webbing is properly threaded through the buckle teeth and pull the loose end firmly to secure the lock.
Fabric appears to hold moisture despite Omni-Wick
Check if you have used fabric softener, which can coat the fibers. Wash the shorts again without softener to restore performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shorts are designed for an easy, ready-to-wear experience. The integrated removable belt is pre-attached but can be adjusted or replaced depending on your preference.
To ensure the longevity of the moisture-wicking and sun-protection properties, follow these care instructions:
- Machine wash in cold water with similar colors.
- Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the moisture-wicking fibers.
- Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry to maintain the integrity of the recycled polyester.
