The Columbia Men’s Trail and Travel Short includes a gusseted crotch to help you move freely whether you’re hiking or climbing. A blend of cotton and nylon made these Columbia shorts plenty tough to handle serious backcountry millage. Enzyme washing gives these shorts a unique look that seems right at home on the trail and during post-hike drinks.

Very Satisfied

Rating:*****
They appear to run a little big as others have noted. I ordered one size smaller and they fit perfect. I bought them primarily because of the extra length in the inseam. Many cargos appear to have 10 inch inseams, a few are extreme with 14 inch or longer inseams, these are 12 inch. The concealed zipper cargo pockets are very nice, they don't get caught on objects like some external cargo pockets do. The material is a bit heavier than I expected from other Titanium apparel.

Awesome Customer Service

Rating:*****
Shorts are great ! I have closet full of Columbia gear, but I was driving to Bend for the art walk and Christina stopped my shipment so I could pick them up on the way thru Redmond along with a pair of board shorts for my daughter. Her service made my weekend.

Fit a little big

Rating:*****
They run a little big in spite of being labeled "Active Fit". I bought a 30" waist and they are closer to 31". The length seems fine though. On the plus side, the zip up pockets are nice. They hold wallet, keys, phone, etc. without the bulky look of cargo shorts.

Great shorts

Rating:*****

These shorts are very comfortable around town. I wore them on a recent hiking trip. They were non-binding when climbing over boulders and obstacles. They appear very durable as well. I would buy another pair.

Returned Item

Rating:*****
These were too heavy. Ordered Columbia Omni-Dry Silver Ridge Cargo shorts that are better for hiking and fishing on the same day.

Didn't fit the same

Rating:***
I have a couple of pairs of the first Trail and Travel and love them, especially the fit. The new ones do not fit the same. The material seems to be as good as or better than the originals though.
