If you're a gal who likes a challenge or two, slip into the Columbia Women's Challenger Shorts before you head out on your next adventure. These performance shorts can handle just about anything you take on. Their Omni-Dry material wicks sweat and breathes to keep you comfy when you work hard. As you get closer to the summit, the mesh vented pockets dump heat. The Challenger Short's radial leg gussets give you room to climb and bend unhindered. If the temperature drops on your way down, just stuff these hiking shorts in their packable pocket and stick them in your pack en lieu of some long pants.

Bottom Line: The Columbia Challenger Shorts are ready for any challenge you are.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

High Waisted

By:
February 12, 2010

I'm very short-waisted and so these shorts hit my waist a full 3 inches above my navel. Not good for me. If you have a long torso, you'll probably love these shorts but if you don't or you prefer a shorter rise, these aren't for you. Otherwise, the fit is really good. I'm 5ft.9in. and usually wear a size 10 and so I went with the medium. I have large athletic thighs, a pronounced booty and they fit very well in these areas. I also have a 34.5 in. inseam which makes them hit mid-thigh on me. I'm keeping them because I like the fabric, they're cool and comfortable, keep moisture away from my skin and dry quickly when I get them wet.

These are great shorts. Fit a little large, but feel nice. Nice length for hiking. I even run in them. Lots of pockets and 'gadgets'!

Love these shorts

By:

These shorts have everything I wanted in a hiking short: key loop, velcro and zippered pockets, quick drying, comfy, and long enough so my undies aren't hanging out when I'm doing the buttslide down a steep slope. I'm ordering another pair ASAP. I would live in these if I could.
