Columbia Tidal III 5in Short - Women's Vivid Blue, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I use these for everything from fishing trips to paddle days. They dry incredibly fast, the stretch is legit, and the UPF makes a real difference when I’m out in the open for hours. The partial elastic waist stays comfortable even when I’m moving around the boat a lot.""We head from the dock to open water feeling completely at ease in the Tidal™ III Shorts from Columbia. Warm sun reflecting off the surface, quick steps across the deck, or hopping onto the pier—these shorts keep us comfortable through every transition. The lightweight stretch fabric moves naturally as we handle gear or settle in for a long drift, and the UPF protection lets us focus on the day instead of the sun. As the hours roll on, the performance tech becomes even more noticeable. Omni-Shield sheds splashes and stains when the action gets messy, while fast-drying yarns help us stay comfortable during repeat casts and steady paddling. A partial elastic waist with drawcord fine-tunes the fit, and zippered hand pockets keep the essentials close even in choppy conditions. Built for fishing and ready for anything near the water, these shorts feel as dependable as the routine that gets us to the shoreline."
