FAQs
What does UPF 50 mean?
UPF 50 stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, meaning the fabric allows only 1/50th of UV radiation to reach your skin.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While they are quick-drying and moisture-wicking, they are primarily designed for hiking and walking rather than as dedicated swim trunks.
What is the material composition?
These shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester.
How do I choose the right size?
The shorts follow standard sizing. Refer to the specific waist size provided (e.g., 30, 32, 34) and consider the 'Regular' fit if you prefer extra room.
Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?
The cargo and security pockets are designed for adventure essentials; while most phones fit in the cargo pockets, it is recommended to test your specific device dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels damp after heavy sweating
Ensure the shorts are not being worn with non-breathable cotton base layers and verify that no fabric softener was used in the wash.
Zipper on the security pocket sticks
Check for debris or dirt in the zipper teeth. Gently clean with a soft brush and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Ridge Shorts, proper maintenance is essential. Follow these guidelines for the best results:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the sweat-wicking performance of the fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in the shade to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
- Ironing: Use a cool iron if necessary, though the fabric is largely wrinkle-resistant due to its polyester composition.
- Compatibility: These shorts feature a standard waist sizing and regular fit, allowing them to pair comfortably with standard hiking belts and most base-layer underwear.
