FAQs
What is Omni-Wick™ technology?
Omni-Wick™ is a fabric technology designed to actively pull moisture away from the body and disperse it throughout the fabric, promoting rapid evaporation and keeping you dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric has moisture-wicking properties, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are best suited for land-based outdoor activities.
How do I know what size to order?
Refer to Columbia's official sizing chart, which provides measurements for waist and inseam. It is recommended to measure your waist and compare it to the chart. Given that fit can vary, consider ordering two sizes if unsure and returning the one that doesn't fit.
Can I remove the integrated belt?
Yes, the integrated belt is removable. This allows you to use your own preferred belt or wear the shorts without a belt if the fit is secure.
What materials are these shorts made from?
The primary material is polyester, and the product is made with recycled content, contributing to sustainability.
How many pockets do the shorts have?
The shorts feature multiple pockets, including hand pockets, a zip-closed security pocket, a hook-and-loop closure cargo pocket, and back pockets.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, these shorts are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and moisture-wicking, not for repelling heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Zipper on security pocket is stiff
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Shorts feel tight or loose
Adjust the integrated removable belt. If the waist is consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size or consulting the brand's sizing chart.
Fabric feels damp after washing
Ensure the shorts are completely dry before storing. Check that the dryer settings are appropriate (tumble dry low) and avoid using fabric softener, which can impede moisture-wicking properties.
