On the colorways: Baltic Amber Stripe and Aspen Stripe are earlier-season prints that Simms no longer lists. Same short, same fabric, same build — these are just the runs we still have on the shelf, and once a size is gone it is gone.
On sun protection: Simms markets this short under sun protection but does not publish a UPF rating for it, so we are not going to print a number. If a rated UPF garment is what you need, ask us and we will point you at pieces where Simms states the rating.
Sizing: the elastic waistband and drawcord give it a forgiving range, and most people take their usual size. The 4-inch inseam is short — worth knowing if you are expecting something longer. Questions, call 970-964-9991.
Warranty: Simms covers functional defects with a replacement. Within the first year, repairs are on them. Beyond a year they will repair it or make it right.
