FAQs
What is Omni-Wick technology?
Omni-Wick is an active evaporation technology that pulls moisture from the body and disperses it throughout the fabric surface, speeding up evaporation and keeping you dry and comfortable.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are not specifically designed as swimwear. They are best suited for active outdoor pursuits where moisture management is key.
How do I know my size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by Columbia. Measure your waist at the point where you typically wear shorts, usually at the natural waistline.
Can the integrated belt be removed?
Yes, the integrated belt can typically be removed, allowing you to use your own preferred belt if desired.
What material are these shorts made from?
The shorts are primarily made of polyester and include recycled content. The exact composition may vary slightly.
Are these shorts waterproof?
No, these shorts are water-resistant and quick-drying due to the Omni-Wick technology, but they are not waterproof.
How many pockets do these shorts have?
These shorts feature multiple pockets, including hand pockets, a zip-closed security pocket, and hook-and-loop closure cargo pockets.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of dry lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Belt buckle is difficult to adjust
Ensure the belt is threaded correctly through the buckle. Check for any fabric obstructions. If the integrated belt is faulty, it can be removed and replaced with a standard belt.
Fabric seems less breathable after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of moisture-wicking treatments.
Pockets feel too small for modern smartphones
While designed for utility, some larger smartphones may fit snugly. Utilize the zip-closed security pocket for better security if the fit is tight.
