Tackle trail days or town strolls in the Flex ROC Shorts—casual, durable, and adventure-ready

From campsite coffee to impromptu scrambles, the Columbia Flex ROC Shorts are built for everyday versatility in the outdoors. Blending casual style with technical function, these shorts handle our off-grid weekends and around-town missions with equal ease.


The cotton-blend canvas offers reliable durability with just enough stretch to keep us moving freely, whether we’re hauling gear or just kicking back. A partial elastic waistband and utility-style pockets add comfort and function, and the clean design makes them a go-to for everything from morning hikes to post-trail brewery runs.

Excellent Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my go-to shorts for summer. Functional and good looking, I have worn them hiking and then directly out to dinner.

Good outdoors shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good activity shorts. Not too stretchy. Pockets are secured with Velcro tabs. Inseam runs a little long.
