Tech Trail Utility 9in Short - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like these for days when I'm bouncing between dry trail and creek crossings. The fabric dries quickly, and the drainage holes are a smart touch. The drawcord waist is clutch for dialing in the fit on the move, and the utility loop is perfect for clipping a small tool or carabiner."

We lace up before the day warms, knowing the Tech Trail Utility 9in Shorts from Columbia will keep pace as we hop between rocky sections, shaded stretches, and streams that cut across the path. The lightweight fabric lets us move fast and stay comfortable, and the water-ready design keeps us exploring whether the trail stays dry or leads us deeper into creek beds.

As terrain changes, the built-in repellency fends off splashes and trail grime, and the quick-drying fibers help moisture escape before it ever becomes a distraction. The adjustable drawcord waist fine-tunes the fit for steep climbs, while pockets and a utility loop give us simple ways to carry the essentials. Drainage holes make transitions from water to land smooth and comfortable, keeping us focused on the route ahead. These shorts are built for hikes that weave through water, dirt, and everything in between.
