Columbia Ridge Shorts - Grey - 30

While made of quick-drying polyester, they are designed primarily for hiking and trekking rather than as dedicated swimwear.

The shorts use standard men's sizing; if you are between sizes, the partial elastic waist provides some flexibility.

Yes, the belt is designed to be removable if you prefer to use your own or wear the shorts without one.

It means the fabric allows only 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation to pass through, effectively blocking 98% of UVA and UVB rays.

The recycled polyester is lightweight and durable, providing a natural range of motion thanks to the integrated gusset, though it does not contain high-stretch elastane.

Ensure the webbing is threaded correctly through the buckle teeth; if it continues to slip, check for grit or dirt in the buckle mechanism and rinse with water.

Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable base layers underneath; also, ensure the shorts are clean, as built-up sweat or body oils can inhibit the Omni-Wick evaporation process.
