The key to outdoor fun is to minimize the sun. The Columbia Sportswear Armitage Short for Men is built with Omni-Shade, protecting you from the sun's harsh rays and letting you stay out longer.
I like these shorts
Nice cool fabric that stays clean looking and not too wrinkled. Pockets stay smooth so it can be a little cleaner looking than some shorts...I am buying two more!
Solid shorts
Best pair of shorts I own. Great fabric. 100% cotton makes me scratch my head. This is light weight, soft, wicking fabric. Good stuff if you plan on getting wet or sweating a bit. Stylish. Dresses up nice with a shirt. Get a couple.
Great casual short
Material is great, I will probably use them as swim trunks. Perfect for hiking, tubing (nice zipper thigh pocket for keys, who hasn't lost something in the river?), or at the pool.
