What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've worn these pants for long days on the skiff and they seriously perform. The cooling effect kicks in as soon as you start to sweat, and the UPF 50 coverage is key when you're under the sun all day. The drawcord waist and reinforced knife pockets show they were built with guides in mind."From early launches to sunset returns, the PFG Pro Guide Pant is engineered for life on the water. Built with Columbia's highest-tier technologies, these pants blend performance and protection into one dialed-in fit. Omni-Freeze(TM) reacts to sweat with instant cooling, while Omni-Shade(TM) UPF 50 shields against sunburn on exposed decks and riverbanks. Omni-Shield(TM) keeps light rain, fish slime, and splashes from soaking in, so we stay dry and focused. Thoughtful features make the difference-like reinforced hand pockets for knife carry, a drawcord-adjustable hem, and a friction panel for rod control during setups. Multiple pockets, including a drop-in and zip-secured option, keep essentials close while 360-degree reflective hits enhance visibility in low light. From flats to fjords, these are the pants we trust to guide the day.
