Three Pitch Short men's

Usage:

• Specifically designed for hiking, offering the durability and functionality that Columbia guarantees for this activity, allowing the user to focus on the adventure.
• Perfect for trail running and other running activities, thanks to its lightweight design and moisture-wicking capabilities, keeping the runner dry and comfortable with every stride.
• Ideal for any outdoor activity where lightness, comfort, and moisture protection are required, such as light hikes, exploring in warm climates, or active casual wear.
• Conceived to provide continuous next-to-skin comfort during intense activities, thanks to its sweat-wicking technology that facilitates rapid evaporation.

Features:

• Omni-Wick™ Technology: Wicks moisture away from the skin and disperses it across the fabric's surface for rapid evaporation, keeping you dry and cool during physical activity.
• Bonded hem: Provides a smooth, seamless finish on the pant edge, preventing chafing and improving overall comfort against the skin.
• Elastic waistband with adjustable drawstring: Allows for a personalized and secure fit, adapting to different waist contours for greater comfort and support during movement.
• Reflective detail: Increases visibility in low-light conditions, enhancing safety during dawn, dusk, or nighttime activities.
• Zippered back pocket: Offers a secure space to store small valuables like keys, cards, or energy gels during movement.
• Designed without intentionally added PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), reflecting a commitment to reducing environmental impact and consumer health.
• Active Fit: Designed to fit close to the body while allowing a full range of motion, ideal for dynamic and high-performance activities.
• Inseam lengths: Available in 5-inch (12.7 cm) and 7-inch (17.78 cm) options to suit different coverage and style preferences.

Materials:

• Main Fabric (Shell): Composed of 100% Polyester. This material is selected for its inherent lightness, remarkable durability against wear and tear, high wrinkle resistance, and fundamentally, for its excellent quick-drying moisture evaporation properties, which complement and enhance Omni-Wick™ technology.
• Side Panels: Made with a blend of 90% Polyester and 10% Elastane. This strategic combination offers the breathability and durability of polyester, while elastane, making up 10% of the blend, provides significant elasticity and flexibility, allowing for greater freedom of movement and dynamic comfort in key areas of the pants.
• Lining: Made of 100% Polyester. The inner lining, likely a lightweight and breathable mesh, contributes to moisture management by wicking it away from the skin and to overall comfort, facilitating ventilation and preventing the outer fabric from sticking to the body during perspiration.
