"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve worn the Backcast IV Water Shorts on lake days, float trips, and even just around the yard—they’re lightweight, quick-drying, and super comfortable. The mesh liner is clutch for jumping in and out of the water without needing to change, and the built-in UPF lets me stay out longer without worrying about sunburn.""We live for days that start at the boat launch and end around the campfire, and the PFG Backcast IV 6in Water Shorts are made for every moment in between. Columbia’s Omni-Shield tech keeps splashes from soaking in, while Omni-Shade UPF 50 helps shield us from the sun’s harshest rays. Whether we’re hauling in fish or jumping off docks, the quick-drying fabric and built-in mesh liner keep us moving dry and distraction-free. The relaxed fit and elastic waistband with drawcord give us room to move and customize the fit, and thoughtful features like zippered mesh pockets and belt loops let us adapt on the fly. Lightweight yet durable, these are our go-to water shorts for everything from early-season float trips to full-summer fishing missions."
