Tough terrain and difficult pitches just got a little bit easier with the Columbia Titanium Featherweight Hike Short. Ideal for hikes and climbs in hot summer weather, these shorts were made to move, with a four-way stretch fabric and a comfortable gusseted leg design providing natural mobility. They've got UPF 50 sun protection to ensure safe skin when you're out on exposed ridgelines and faces for hours at a time, and also boast water-repellent properties thanks to their DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. A zippered security pocket sits at the thigh to keep important maps and gear from getting lost in the mountains, helping to ensure that you won't either.
