Featuring Columbia’s signature Omni-Wick technology, these shorts excel at pulling sweat away from the body to keep you dry on long hikes or hot days.

Troubleshooting
Moisture-wicking isn't performing as expected
Avoid using fabric softener in the wash, as it leaves a residue that blocks the Omni-Wick technology from moving moisture.
Cargo pocket flap won't stay closed
Check the hook-and-loop strips for lint or debris; carefully pick out any trapped material to restore the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts last, always refer to the care label inside the garment. These shorts are machine washable; it is recommended to wash them in cold water with similar colors and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can interfere with the moisture-wicking capabilities of the synthetic fibers. The included belt is fully removable, allowing you to swap it for a technical belt of your choice if needed. When storing, ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cargo pocket are closed to prevent them from snagging on other items in your laundry.
