FAQs
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, they are not waterproof, but they are moisture-wicking and quick-drying, meaning they handle light moisture and sweat effectively.
Can I remove the integrated belt?
Yes, the belt is designed to be removable if you wish to use your own or prefer not to use one.
How should I wash these shorts?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat to maintain the moisture-wicking performance.
Do these shorts offer sun protection?
Yes, the fabric is rated with UPF 50 protection to help block harmful UV rays.
What is the material composition?
The shorts are made from 100% recycled polyester.
Are these shorts true to size?
They generally fit true to size, but the partial elastic waist allows for some flexibility in comfort.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn stains on the fabric
Pre-treat the affected area with a mild stain remover before washing, ensuring it is compatible with synthetic polyester fabrics.
Belt buckle slipping during movement
Check the threading of the belt through the buckle and ensure the locking mechanism is firmly seated.
Fabric snagging on rough surfaces
Use a small pair of nail scissors to carefully trim any pulled threads, but avoid pulling them, as this can cause a larger run in the weave.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Columbia Ridge Shorts, follow these care guidelines. Always close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before placing them in the wash to prevent snagging on other garments. Machine wash in cold water with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can interfere with the performance of the Omni-Wick moisture-management technology. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry; due to the synthetic nature of the 100% recycled polyester, they will likely be dry within a few hours. The integrated belt is removable, allowing you to swap it for another belt if preferred, though the included version is optimized for the weight of the shorts.
