Use:

• Ideal for travel and exploration, where versatility, comfort, and the ability to repel stains and light moisture are highly valued to stay presentable and dry for longer.
• Suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities, such as camping, nature walks, or any adventure that requires a durable and protective garment.

• Columbia has designed these pants for the active woman who needs a garment that combines technical performance for adventure with everyday comfort, ensuring protection against the weather and ease of movement.

Features:

• Omni-Shield™ technology that repels moisture and stains by preventing liquids from being absorbed into the quick-drying threads, helping you stay clean and dry in wet or dirty conditions.
• Partially elastic waistband that provides a secure and comfortable fit, adapting to different contours without sacrificing mobility.
• Integrated and removable belt that allows for a fine and personalized fit at the waist, ensuring the pants stay in place during activity.
• Practical hand pockets for quick access to small items or to shield hands.
• Zippered security pocket, ideal for safely storing valuables like keys, money, or a small phone while you move.
• Adjustable leg hems with a drawcord to cinch the pants around boots, which helps seal out dirt, insects, or cold air, and allows for style variation.
• Back pockets that offer additional storage space for other personal items.
• "Regular Fit" cut or fit, which according to Columbia is a universal and easy fit for a comfortable range of motion.

Materials:

• Shell made of 96% Nylon and 4% Elastane. Nylon provides durability, lightness, and abrasion resistance, essential features for hiking. Elastane provides elasticity and flexibility, allowing for greater freedom of movement and comfort during dynamic activities. This fabric combination aims to offer a balance between robustness and elastic comfort.
