The Columbia Washed Out Short is a casual chino-style short in 100% cotton, cut flat-front with a zip fly, button closure, front slash pockets and back welt pockets. The 10-inch inseam puts it in the classic walk-short range, and the washed cotton gives it a soft, broken-in look. It suits warm-weather everyday wear, travel and light outdoor use better than technical hiking shorts, since it has no stretch and no quick-dry fabric. Rivals like Columbia's own PFG and Silver Ridge shorts offer synthetic, faster-drying builds; this one is the simpler cotton option.
