Columbia Hike Jogger Ii men's

Use:

• Light hiking and trail walks thanks to its functional design, comfort, and Omni-Shield™ technology that repels moisture and stains.
• Casual outdoor activities and daily wear, as its modern jogger style and stretch fabric offer comfort and freedom of movement throughout the day.
• Travel, due to its versatility, lightness, comfort for long hours, and its ability to stay clean longer thanks to stain resistance.
• Environments with light moisture or risk of sporadic splashes, where Omni-Shield™ technology helps keep the user dry and the garment clean.
• Columbia has manufactured this jogger seeking to offer a versatile garment that fuses the technical performance necessary for outdoor adventures with the comfort and style demanded for everyday and urban use.

Features:

• Omni-Shield™ Technology: Offers advanced water and stain repellency, which means the fabric resists liquid absorption, keeping you cleaner and drier for longer in humid conditions or in case of accidental spills, as well as facilitating quick drying.
• Adjustable inner waistband with drawcord: Allows for a personalized and secure fit, adapting to different waist contours and ensuring the pants stay in place during dynamic activities.
• Hand pockets: Provide an accessible and practical space to store small frequently used items or to protect hands from the cold.
• Security pocket with snap closure: Offers a secure compartment to store valuables such as keys, a card, or money, minimizing the risk of loss.
• Elastic cuffs: Create a snug fit around the ankles, which helps prevent the entry of dirt, insects, or cold air, as well as contributing to the jogger style and keeping the pants away from footwear.
• PFAS-free design: This product has been made using a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment that does not contain Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), also known as "persistent chemicals," representing a more environmentally conscious option without sacrificing protective performance.
• "Active Fit" cut: This is a body-skimming fit designed with the necessary mobility for the end use in mind, offering a modern silhouette without restricting movement during physical activities.

Materials:

• Main fabric: Composed of 91% Polyester and 9% Elastane, categorized as "Stretch Woven".
  • Polyester (91%): This major component gives the fabric notable durability, abrasion resistance, and excellent quick-drying properties. Polyester is also known for its ability to maintain shape, resist wrinkles and shrinkage, which facilitates garment care.
  • Elastane (9%): This percentage of elastane gives the fabric significant elasticity and excellent recovery capacity. This translates into a garment that moves with you, offering great freedom of movement and superior comfort, especially important in activities like hiking or for active use.
