If you're not into short hiking shorts, you'll adore the Columbia Women's Omni-Dry Venture Knee Shorts. Take these performance shorts out on the trail—their nylon Omni-Dry material wicks sweat and breathes to keep you comfortable. If the mercury really gets high, the mesh vented pockets dump heat so you stay cool. The Columbia Venture Knee Shorts have a UPF of 50, which protects you from the burnin' sun.

Bottom Line: Skip the short shorts and slip on the Columbia Omni-Dry Venture Knee Shorts.

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

Fantastic shorts!

I work as a dockmaster at a local yacht club and these shorts are great! Great for warm weather and quick drying, not to mention comfortable! I love them!

Be careful...

By:

Beware about the size of these shorts. I was looking for knee-length shorts and found these on the Columbia web site, where they were shown as having a 12" inseam, same as on this site. So I ordered them...
However, upon receiving them I realized that the inseam is 10 inches and not 12.
Needless to say I'm disappointed because I really wanted a knee-length short.

So be careful with garment descriptions, there are some errors!!!

Tight Fit

By:

These shorts didn't work for me due to their tight fit. I didn't realize when I ordered them that they were meant to be so tight. Other Columbia shorts I've worn are usually much looser.

I like 'em

By:

I bought one pair and liked 'em so much that I bought a second. They do fit a bit snug to the legs, which I actually like. However, it can be a bit of a challenge when scrambling but I just pull up the legs a bit. Overall, I love the fit, the length and pockets.

Short Sizing

By: Backcountry.com Employee
August 15, 2007

So, I haven't actually worn these shorts, but upon surfing the site and reading the reviews I just wanted to point out the Backcountry.com's description clearly stated at 10" inseam. So, for me, a 5'10" male, shorts with a 10" inseam are knee length shorts and any longer and I would be wearing man-pris.
