What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've worn the Shoaltech Pant through muggy hikes, river treks, and buggy campsites. The Insect Shield really helps reduce bites, and I love how breathable and lightweight the fabric feels. The zip pocket and drawcord hems add legit trail functionality."When bugs are buzzing and the sun is blazing, we rely on the Columbia Shoaltech Pant to keep us protected, cool, and comfortable. Treated with Insect Shield(R) technology, these pants offer built-in bug repellency that lasts through long days in thick brush, humid forests, or by the water's edge. Omni-SHADE(TM) UPF 50 protection shields against harsh UV rays, while Omni-WICK(TM) fabric pulls moisture away from our skin for dry, breathable comfort. Thoughtful features make this pant a trail standout: a gusseted design for better mobility, a drawcord-adjustable hem for secure fit with boots or sandals, and a zippered security pocket for stashing keys or cards. Crafted from 100% recycled polyester, it's built for warm-weather missions, whether we're hiking deep into the backcountry or chasing fish on remote flats.
