Good to know

Omni-Shade™ and Omni-Wick™ are Columbia's proprietary technologies. Omni-Shade™ blocks UVA and UVB rays to help prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage. Omni-Wick™ actively moves moisture away from the skin to accelerate evaporation, keeping you cool and dry. The partial elastic waist provides a comfortable, adjustable fit, and the gusseted inseam enhances freedom of movement. These pants are designed to withstand rugged use while maintaining a lightweight feel.
