Columbia Men's Hike Brief Short – City Grey, XX-Large | Omni-Wick & Extended Sizes

Columbia Men's Hike Brief Short – City Grey

Columbia's Men's Hike Brief Short in City Grey blends trail-ready performance with everyday versatility. Featuring OMNI-WICK moisture management, these shorts pull sweat away from the skin and distribute it across the fabric to promote faster evaporation, helping you stay comfortable as temperatures rise or strides lengthen.

Designed to move with you, the shorts combine a stretchy, lightweight polyester with a durable weave so you can switch from uphill climbs to city ambles without missing a beat. An interior compression short offers supportive coverage, while a drawcord waist lets you fine-tune the fit as you pace, bend, or change direction. The fabric's soft hand against the skin also helps reduce friction during long days outdoors.

In terms of construction, Columbia has focused on durability and thoughtful details. High-quality stitching and materials keep shape and color after multiple wears and washes, and the shorts are available in extended sizes to fit more body types. The City Grey option provides a neutral, easy-to-match look for a wide range of outfits and footwear.
