"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""The Columbia Sucker For Summer 4in Short became my go-to for lake days this season because they dry fast enough to go straight from the water to wherever the afternoon takes you. The zippered back pocket kept my cards and keys secure during every jump off the dock, and the hook-and-loop closure meant the fit stayed put no matter how active things got.""Summer has a way of filling up with moments that are better when your gear can keep up without slowing you down. The Columbia Sucker For Summer 4in Short is built for exactly that kind of season, the one where the afternoon moves from a lake swim to a lakeside lunch to a sunset walk without much planning in between. The quick-dry polyester with Omni-Shield repellency sheds water and resists stains so the fun doesn't have to stop for a wardrobe change. The elastic waist with an interior drawcord and hook-and-loop closure dials in a secure, comfortable fit whether you're moving or just taking in the view. A drop-in pocket handles the casual carry and a zippered back pocket locks up the essentials that need to stay put through the water and everything after it. At a 4-inch inseam, these shorts move freely and wear confidently all season long."
