Great shorts
Usually I like my shorts to hit right above my knee cap, and I'm a tall/big guy.....these shorts are great. Favorite part about them is the deep (and we're talking deep) front pockets. When I'm driving around, stuff in the pockets doesn't bind up top near the waist, the sit right where they should. My waist size is 36 inches, so I thought I would need XL, but I went with the XXL just to have more room. I just use a belt to keep them up, and these are the most comfortable pair of shorts I have bought in a store. Will definitely be purchasing more. Roll Tide.

The product is exactly as advertised
Before purchasing I read the reviews, looked at numerous different styles. I purchased these shorts to use on a trip to Mazatlan, Mexico. I haven't been disappointed in the least. In fact I wore them so much my wife wanted to throw them away when we returned home, saying she would never get them clean.
Thanks Columbia for making such great clothing.

Fine hiking shorts
I wore two pair of these shorts for 8-10 years. When they started to look a little faded. I checked with the Company to see if they were still made.
A very helpful representative gave me the current name.
They are very nice shorts- I do not like the trendier, longer , styles.
Fit is perfect. Highly utilitarian.

Best shorts around
I've been buying these shorts for the last ten years. All the pockets are perfect for fishing on the bay, or keeping your stuff together on a casual day.

Great shorts
I have 2 pairs of these shorts and I wear them for all different purposes, around, hiking fishing, and they always hold up to everything. I'm a big Columbia fan in all of their products, great gear.

material is a bit on the thin side
Ordering online from Columbia was not a great deal. I ordered 2 pairs of Half Moon shorts and one pair Brewha shorts of the same size. The Brewha shorts did fit perfect but the Half Moon shorts, even at the same size, did not fit. Your measurements come in medium and large, etc, though a better way other do is by inches. My size would be 36" and when ordered like that, they would fit.
So I returned 2 pairs of Half Moon shorts for credit, paying return shipment of $ 10.00. Now, instead of $40.00 for a pair of shorts, I wound up paying $70!!
I love the Brewha shorts and may order more of these if I can find them at a another site, maybe where shipping is free!

Shorts are a perfect fit
I was looking for a pair of hiking shorts that were fitted and functional and found them at Columbia.

Amazingly comfortable and durable
I got 2 pairs 2 summers ago, and I noticed Columbia has slightly changed them. Anyway, these shorts are extremely comfy, especially after you wear them for a long time and they get soft. I noticed that when it tears, it doesnt really tear anymore after the incident. However, if these shorts get wet they stay wet, unless your not wearing underwear-BUT you can see right through them when they are wet. I found that out at a bad time.

The New Half Moon and Ode to the Old One.
These are apparently the closest thing to what I've been wearing for tennis shorts from Columbia that is currently available. I was very disappointed : 1st, with the closure which used to be one simple sturdy button (which is not even slightly loosening as the pants themselves are ragged from so much use) but is now replaced with a Velcro square with a newly sewn in Velcro belt (which must be fastened as it is threaded through the belt loop ?!). 2ndly, the 2 outer front pockets on the old pants had one central Velcro closure in the center of the flap (which was brilliantly easier to open and close) now have two Velcro fasteners on each end of the top flap (like everybody else's design). 3rd, while there is still a long pocket to the bottom of each front leg which easily holds, and provides access to 2 - 3 tennis balls, there used to be an almost secret, normal hand-sized inner pocket, with a vertical opening along the side seams, which afforded a convenient place to keep keys, change, or anything that you didn't want to fish out from the bottom of the pockets at your knees; and that most useful feature is gone and forgotten here. Also gone is a hard plastic loop which hung from the right front belt loop where I would clip a cellphone or car keys when just walking around.
On the bright side of the new Half Moon design, there is a more sturdy- seeming fabric, (which yet may not be as cool as the original for tennis in the hot sun). There are 2 new, easier- access back pockets (with ONE central Velcro closure in the ANGLED openings!), and there are see-through fishnet front patches on the outer pockets,(in case I forget what I put on there?).
So, I used to love them, but I only hope its not all over now.

Love the fit
This is the 2nd pair of these. I ordered them while still available. Hard to ever find a pair I like this well.

Perfect shorts
I already had a pair of these. They are my favorite shorts and had to get some more. I wear them all the time for everything from casual wear to camping and roughing it. My son came to visit and he had the same shorts -- his favorites, too! He had bought three pair!

The BEST!!!
I have now had a summer in these shorts. Columbia deserves a big pat on the back for this well-thought out pair of shorts.
# Velcro instead of buttons...actually works great on the front belt
#Self-belt, but yes, there are belt loops, too.
#Useful pockets. The mesh front isn't something I care for, but the others are nspot-on.
#Wide legs and SHORT!! Mid-thigh, wide cut for action, be it sailing, rock climbing, whatever.
#They dry fast.
I can't imagine asking any more from a pair of shorts.
I bought two pair and lived in them all summer. They still look new.

They are UGLY
These shorts come up above the knee too much.
They fit like something from the 70s.
I had to return them.

Columbia wins an "A "!
I hope the Half-Moon shorts will be a staple for Coumbia in the future. I bought my husband one pair the summer of 2010, went back to Belk to get another pair and all were gone. Thought they would have them this summer, since they carry Columbia. No luck! Thank goodness for shopping with you online. I was able to get the exact product in the sage color. Please keep these in stock.
Sincerely, Lee

From good quality to junk!
I have three pair of Colombia shorts that I wear often. I loved them , so I ordered three more pair. I thought that they would be of the same quality as my old favorites. They were not! The material was thin and cheap. The fit was terrible. I will not be ordering Colombia clothing again.

Perfect
I have countless pairs of these shorts and wear them all day every day in different activities. Highly Recommended

fit for a women
Now, I don't have a waist line or hips like a female and these shorts are made just right for one. Very small and tight. I ordered the largest and I'm a big man but not off the charts large. So, if you're a small man with a small waist, then enjoy the fit of these shorts.

Fishing Shorts
have 5 pair.....sweet!

shorts
Not being a tall man and not having long legs it is hard to find shorts that are not to long like being half way down my legs (might as well wear long pants then). However shopping at Columbia I found just the right size. I only have one wish. Please have some more choices, like colors and hopefull different styles.

Perfect pair of shorts!
Just picked up two of these babys. They are now my favorite shorts ever. If you like shorts cut above the knee that you can wear everyday for the rest of your life, stop here this is it. I wear a 32 waist and got a medium size and they were a bit too big, but once I washed them in hot water and dried them extra hot they shrunk up to the PERFECT size! The fabric feels amazing, they are the perfect length, and they have so many pockets your brain will explode. But seriously... Best shorts ever. I wish they would make more colors so I could buy more!!

Love 'em
I bought the 1st pair in Scottsboro, Al. and loved them. When we got home, i ordered another pair off of the internet and today I'm ordering another pair.

Nice Shorts
You definitely want to order a size larger of these shorts, other then that these are Great Fishing shorts, I really like the huge pockets front and back, plenty big enough to hold a pair of fishing pliers, fish grips or whatever else you might need to keep handy. Pretty good fit once I got the right size.

Great General Shorts
Great shorts for being able to move around in them. Only downside is that I don't really prefer the velcro closure
June 7, 2011
Worth the money
they are comfortable shorts, but they run on the small side. I have alot of friends that enoy them as well, HUGE pockets for what ever you need to store in them

shorts
the material was not what i thought it was....I would have ordered a different short that was of the right material until i realized that you did not provide a return shipping label....
May 12, 2011
Buy up
Make sure to buy up 1 size. These fit totally different than the brewha short
May 10, 2011
sizes vary
I sat here in a pair of Half Moon shorts (size L) and ordered an additional 2 pair (size L) ....not even close to the size I was wearing. Had to return and order XL.
Why should I have to pay freight for this type of problem?

great shorts
love these shorts wear them about every day

Title is perfect
I had bought a pair for my husband at the Outlet Mall and he really liked the way they looked and how they fit. These shorts are perfect for him.

Great shorts
This is my second pair. If you have an old pair take note that the sizes are running smaller than in years past.
March 21, 2011
Fits OK but binding...
Weight is excellent and the shorts fit quite well just trying them on but they bind very uncomfortably when moving around in them.
The velcro strap is virtually worthless...these would have been far better with an old fashioned draw string.
I'm returning them...
March 21, 2011
Incredible.
I have a pair in all three colors and I love these shorts. Only shorts I wear and they work with anything. Durable, light, comfortable, best shorts EVER.
March 13, 2011
Must have shorts!
I have been wearing these shorts a long time. I hunt and fish for a living so when hunting season is over I make sure I have plenty of these shorts. They are my everyday wear during the summer.

college son loves these shorts
bought these for my college son. we bought one pair to see how he liked them and the next month ordered another pair. He loves the way they feel and he can make them look dressy or casual depending on the shirt he wears.
February 20, 2011
Awesome
I love fishing and I love fratting so these shorts are a must.

A comforable fit product at a reasonale price
I have found Columbia shorts to be long wearing and expect no less from this model. The color chart is misleading as the description Carbon is innapopriate for a blue color. Call it anything but CARBON. I find the velcro really stays put unlike some shorts. The fabric is a good tropical weight and the length is nice for those of us who are more of the older generation of short wearers. The packing was in a solid box and the nice touch of including a hanger was a pleasant surprise. Overall, even with the shipping out here, a good deal. Seat was snugger than older Columbia shorts but still a good fit, baggy is worse than a little snug, and snug is a subjective thing anyway.

Half Moon Shorts
cool, confortable and look good

Baggy No More
Finally, a pair of shorts that are not baggy. These fit well and don't bag in the seat.
