Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Columbia shorts starts with the right fit; utilize the integrated belt to achieve a snug, secure waist. For maintenance, machine wash the garment in cold water with similar colors. Use a gentle cycle and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the moisture-wicking technology. To preserve the longevity of the synthetic polyester fibers, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not bleach or iron the garment, as high heat can damage the specialized sun-protection coating.
