Men's Columbia Garnet South Carolina Gamecocks Backcast III Printed Short

Product Insights & Style Tips

Columbia Garnet South Carolina Gamecocks Backcast III Printed Short kicks off a sun-soaked, water-ready mood with bold collegiate energy. The all-over printed graphic rides on 100% nylon, a lightweight, quick-drying fabric that moves with you from deck to dockside. It wicks moisture away and, with Omni-Shade blocking UVA and UVB and UPF 30 sun protection, you stay comfortable in the sun, all in a rich garnet tone.

Built to move with you, the shorts sit on an elastic waistband with belt loops and a drawcord for a secure, adjustable fit. Storage includes mesh hand pockets, a drop-in side pocket, and a zippered back mesh pocket for valuables, plus an interior mesh brief for breathable coverage. The inseam on size M measures about 6 inches, yielding a practical short that transitions smoothly from water activities to casual land days.

Columbia blends outdoor performance with campus pride in pieces like this Backcast III Printed Short. Omni-Shade sun protection, quick-dry nylon, and a licensed Gamecocks graphic speak to the label's habit of pairing rugged utility with trend-right graphics. Pair with a polo or performance tee and a belt or carabiner at the loops to ride the season from shoreline adventures to stadium shade.
