When you're out hiking on hot, sunny days, the Columbia Women's Saturday Trail Short keeps you comfortable and protected by keeping things to a minimum. With a shorter five-inch inseam length, less fabric over your legs means more access to fresh air. The hand pockets are mesh for improved ventilation, and thanks to Omni-Shield fabric technology, the shorts quickly release and repel moisture so you're not constantly soaked in sweat or drenched after an unexpected rain shower. The UPF 50-rated Omni-Shade fabric reduces your exposure to harmful UV rays. There are two areas where the short focuses on maximizing rather than minimizing: the fabric offers both up-and-down and side-to-side stretch for excellent moving comfort, and a mid-rise waist for a secure, full-coverage fit.
