Columbia Bahama II 8in Short - Men's Collegiate Navy, L

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've worn these on everything from river days to boat launches, and the quick-dry nylon is what keeps me coming back. They never feel heavy, even after getting splashed, and the cargo pocket is perfect for pliers or a small tackle box. The partial elastic waist gives me enough flex to move around the deck without feeling restricted.""We head out before the water settles, packing only what we need and trusting the Bahama II 8in Shorts from Columbia to handle every wet deck and rising sun. The lightweight feel keeps us moving easily as we cast, stow gear, and settle into the rhythm of the day, and the built-in performance fabric shields us when the heat climbs and the reflections get sharp. As the hours stretch on, the fast-drying nylon works in our favor, never clinging after spray rolls across the bow. Omni-Shade™ UPF 50 keeps the sun from wearing us down, while the Omni-Shield™ treatment fends off the ever-present mix of salt, bait, and water. Secure pockets give us space for tools and small essentials, and the partial elastic waist stays comfortable through long sessions on the water."
