What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore the Summit Valley II Skort on a long day hike with creek crossings and some scrambling, and it held up great through all of it. The Omni-Shield kept mud and water from soaking in, and having a dedicated pocket for a multi-tool is a feature I did not know I needed until I had it. The built-in shorts stay in place and the back slit venting makes a real difference on steep climbs."A full day on the trail asks a lot from the gear you wear, and the Columbia Summit Valley II Skort is built to deliver through all of it. Designed on Columbia's Titanium platform for high-performance outdoor use, this active-fit skort combines weather-resistant construction with a thoughtful pocket layout that keeps everything organized and within reach from trailhead to summit. Omni-Shield treatment repels moisture and resists stains at the yarn level, keeping the nylon and elastane shell clean and fast-drying through creek crossings, muddy stretches, and unexpected weather. Built-in five-inch inseam shorts keep things comfortable and secure through technical movement, while back slit venting adds airflow on sustained climbs. Belt loops, a utility loop, a dedicated knife and multi-tool pocket, hand pockets, a back pocket, and a drop-in pocket make the Summit Valley II one of the most practically equipped skorts on the trail.
