Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Columbia Ridge Shorts maintain their performance features, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the integrity of the fabric and the moisture-wicking treatments.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting to prevent fiber degradation.
- Belt Management: The integrated belt can be removed if you wish to use a specialized hiking belt or if the shorts require a deep wash. Ensure the belt is re-threaded correctly through the loops before wearing.
- Storage: Store in a dry, cool place to prevent any moisture buildup if the shorts are not fully dry after a wash.
