FAQs
What does Omni-Shield technology do?
Omni-Shield is an advanced water and stain repellent treatment that prevents liquids from absorbing into the fabric's yarns. This helps the shorts resist stains and dry faster, keeping you cleaner and drier.
Are these shorts suitable for swimming?
While the fabric is quick-drying, these shorts are designed primarily for active use and everyday wear, not specifically for swimming. They are not a pair of swim trunks.
What material are the shorts made of?
The Mountaindale Cargo Shorts are made from a cotton blend, designed for durability and comfort.
How many pockets do these shorts have?
These shorts feature hand pockets for everyday essentials and secure zippered cargo pockets for larger items.
What is the fit of these shorts?
The shorts are designed with a regular fit, offering a standard and comfortable silhouette.
How should I care for my cargo shorts?
It is recommended to machine wash them cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, tumble dry on low, and remove promptly. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
Is the Columbia logo visible in the dark?
Yes, the Columbia logo on the left leg is reflective, which enhances visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and avoiding high heat drying. Refer to care label for specific instructions. Some stiffness may be temporary due to the Omni-Shield treatment.
Stains are not repelling as expected.
Re-evaluate the type of stain. Omni-Shield is most effective against water-based and some oil-based stains. Heavy or set-in stains may require pre-treatment. Ensure the garment is clean before washing as dirt can impede performance.
Zipper on cargo pocket is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil can help if the issue persists.
