Sizes are horrible
I have several pair of these type shorts from Columbia. I have size Large in all of them and they all fit pretty similar. I ordered my first pair of Palmerston Peak shorts in a Large. I could have wrapped them around me twice. I sent back and got a Medium. I couldn't even squeeze into the medium. There was such a huge variance in the sizes that I don't know how anyone could get a good fit.

Missed the Boat
Received these shorts with some other items. The waist was HUGE. I wear a size small. The waist on these was like a medium. The belt could not be taken up enough to fit and even if it did the shorts would have looked like bloomers. I am very disappointed with this item. I have numerous Columbia items that I found excellent in quality and fit. Columbia really missed the boat on this one.

Product is fine.
I would have preferred to have a pocket ion the back for ID, wallet, etc.

like em
I have had this short for several years and wore them out. The new ones (I bought 2) are well made and fit well, like the front zippered pocket

Swim Shorts
I have had similar styled Columbia swim shorts and the fit and function were considerably better.

Palmerston Peak Shorts
I've purchased several pairs of these shorts (two years ago) and they are of very good quality. The fabric is light, but resistant to tearing and it dries incredibly fast (within 30 minutes after a good dowsing in sunlight or warm atmosphere). They have several very good pockets with which to put valuables while taking part in activities. I would recommend these shorts for boating, fishing, swimming, and other recreational activities. You could even use these for working out. As a matter of fact, I'm ordering a few more of these shorts.

The shorts do have great features.
However, the waist band had very little elastic. I purchased 3 pair from Sports Authority last year and had to try on at least 10 pair to find three with enough elastic in the band. I have a 36 inch waist, and the 2 pair I purchased on line had very little elastic. I pulled the draw belt as tight as I could but the shorts still were to big. With better quality control on the waist band these could be very good shorts. I will continue to look for these shorts at your retail stores, because they have very good features.
