The pants have nice, light shades, the material is lightweight but not see-through, although I would prefer it to be a bit thicker. The cut is relaxed. The clothing has a UPF40+ certificate, which I consider a big advantage, although the website listed UPF50. To me, Columbia stands out for its careful stitching and well-thought-out solutions. However, the downside is the unusual sizing – the clothes seem to be designed for people with fuller figures and I always have to order several neighboring sizes. According to the chart, the pants should be size 36, but actually 34 fits me. I wear the fleece in size S, even though I usually wear L, and I take a shirt in M, although I usually choose L. The price is high, but the quality is really very good.
Columbia Skien Valley Cargo Insect Shield Pants - Ancient Fossil
Beige trekking pants are made from lightweight and durable polyester. They are equipped with a sun protection filter UPF50, providing UV radiation protection and supporting moisture regulation during hot weather, making them suitable for hiking and mountain activities.
The model features an innovative Insect Shield technology, involving the durable impregnation of the fabric with an insect repellent (permethrin). This protects against insects, reducing the risk of bites, and the substance is invisible, odorless, and safe for the skin. It is registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Omni-Shade technology, Omni-Wick system
The pants use Omni-Shade technology, which provides protection from various UV rays, reducing their harmful effects on the skin. The Omni-Wick system ensures effective moisture wicking from the skin's surface to the outside, supporting the maintenance of thermal comfort and a dry feeling during intense movement.
Mesh ventilation inserts, integrated belt
The pants' design includes articulated knees and drawstrings at the bottom of the legs. The rear knee panel features mesh ventilation inserts that enhance air circulation. There is a integrated, detachable belt at the waist, allowing for additional circumference adjustment and fitting the pants to the body's shape.
Practical pockets
The model is equipped with practical pockets: 2 side pockets, rear pockets, a cargo pocket with a Velcro closure, and 2 zipper-closed pockets, including 1 rear and 1 side pocket.

Omni-Wick is an innovative technology characterized by efficient wicking of body moisture, temperature regulation and fast-drying materials. It keeps the skin dry and comfortable during activity, and can reduce the development of odors.
Omni-Shade keeps you safe during sun activities. Thanks to its compact weave construction and UV-absorbing substances, it effectively blocks ultraviolet A and B rays (UVA and UVB). It features several levels of sun protection, indicated by a numerical filter value such as SPF50.
Insect Shield is a technology used in Columbia clothing that permanently integrates the insecticide permethrin into the fabric fibers. This provides long-lasting protection against insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and black flies. The advantage of this technology is that it is invisible and odorless, which means that the clothing retains its natural look, breathability, and comfort. The technology has been registered by the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and is safe for users.

These pants are extremely comfortable and are perfect for longer hikes or field trips. The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and dries quickly, which greatly improves wearing comfort. The cargo pockets are a great solution for carrying necessary small items. The Insect Shield protection is really useful when staying near water or in the forest. The pants fit well and do not restrict movement. If someone is looking for comfortable pants for outdoor activities, I definitely recommend them.
