Gear Review
If you want light, quick dry shorts - get them!

Ranked #503 - Men's Hiking and Climbing Shorts
August 20, 2009
Compared with Northface and moa ( a pair of shorts I picked up in NZ) the Omni-dry are as good if not better. The fabric is light, comparable to moa, and much lighter than the Northface fabric. The fit in medium is comparible to the medium in Nothface and the small in moa. Two suggestions for Columbia, put a snap on the front rather than a button, and put the sippered hip pocket on the left rather than the right.
