The Silver Ridge Lite Short-Sleeve Shirt from Columbia may look like a deceptively simple trail shirt, but it is packed with high-performance features to keep the time one spends outside and active as comfortable as possible.
The shirt is made with Omni-Wick Ripstop 100% polyester, which is ultra-lightweight and soft, and features Omni-SHADE, which offers UPF 40 sun protection. To further increase the comfort of wear, the brand has included concealed back vents, as well as roll-up sleeve holders for customizable comfort. Additionally, the design is antimicrobial and sweat-wicking for prolonged comfort.
Columbia makes a wide range of travel-focused Silver Ridge products, including convertible pants, cargo pants, stretch pants, shorts, as well as long-sleeve shirts for both men and women.
