FAQs
What is Omni-Wick™ technology?
Omni-Wick™ is a fabric technology designed to pull moisture away from your body and allow it to evaporate quickly, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for rain?
These shorts are designed for breathability and quick-drying from sweat or light moisture. They do not offer waterproof protection against heavy rain.
What is the material composition?
The shell of the shorts is made from 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by Columbia Sportswear. The elastic waist with a drawcord offers some adjustability.
Can these shorts be worn for activities other than hiking?
Yes, they are suitable for various outdoor activities like camping, traveling, or casual wear during warm weather due to their comfort and breathability.
Do the shorts have a built-in liner?

Troubleshooting
Shorts feel damp after activity
Ensure the garment is washed according to care instructions to maintain Omni-Wick™ performance. For extreme conditions, consider layering with other moisture-wicking base layers.

Adjust the internal drawcord to achieve a personalized fit. Ensure the drawcord is tied securely.
