Men’s Half Moon™ Short 4.1 5 58 58
Great Shorts I wear these shorts almost daily during the summer. I wear them fishing offshore every trip. These shorts are durable, I have several pair that are 5 or more years old. I have a 30" inseam and really love the length of these shorts. Being 46 years old, I don't like my shorts past my knees. I have a 32" waist and wear a small in these shorts. April 25, 2013
Great for active sportsmen The half moon shorts are the greatest shorts made for active sportsman. Fishing, hiking, biking even golf . They fit great, no tight buttons, comfortable waist band, plenty of pockets, quick to dry if you get wet. Just wish you had more colors. April 2, 2013
My best shorts Comfy, breathing, excellent looking. March 24, 2013
The Quality Isn't It's Used to Be I am a fan of Columbia clothing in the past. After this purchase, I am disappointed. The material does not carry the same quality I have known in the past. February 22, 2013
Style is grea and comfortable, but limited colors(no hunter green) I've purchase and worn these short for over nine years. There great and don't have buttons(I do not like buttons on shorts). The stiching at bottom of leg needs to be improved; tape and double stich recommended. February 14, 2013
Great product Great short, but ran a little small for relaxed fit. December 24, 2012
This product is great! I found everything with this product great! November 7, 2012
The perfect hiking shorts. I have had several pairs of the Men's Half Moon Shorts.The webbed pockets are great while hiking and I can carry my cell phone without it getting hot in my pocket and easy to get to. September 26, 2012
Size inconsistency in products The pant quality is fine and I assume the functionality will be just as good as all the of the Columbia products I purchase. On the other hand can you please explain to me why a medium in the Brewha shorts fits perfectly and the medium in the half moon wont even pass my thighs? I shop on line for convenience, if I have to send things back because two pair pants that are both marked as the same size, but clearly are not, the convenience factor is lost.Thank you September 4, 2012
Not a Brewha I love the Brewha....I like the half moon. I miss the plastic clip as the little material loop is too small. I do like the slightly expanded color choice (greenish) September 3, 2012
Not true to size From the reviews I read of these shorts, it was clear that they run small. So I bought my husband one size larger. Turns out they were too big. Don't know what to make of that. August 28, 2012
They call them fishing shorts. The developer never used these shorts for fishing. If you get a fish hook stuck in the mesh pockets it is impossible to remove the hook without damaging the mesh. However, I do like these shorts. I have short legs and most shorts hang too long on me ( to the knees). These fit me much better than others I've tried. In general, I find that Columbiia outdoor clothing to be the absolute best! August 17, 2012
great pair of shorts Nice shorts with plenty of pockets and nice cargo style. I am small framed with a 29"waist so these shorts were to baggy on me. On an average size person they should be a great choice. Just wish they fit me. August 9, 2012
HALF MOON SHORT I bought these shorts for my 19 year old son and also for my husband who is in his mid 50's. They both love them. The fit is great. August 4, 2012
Good functionality and very comfortable Washes easily and comes out of the drier not needing serious ironing August 2, 2012
SHORTS ORDERED XL THEY FEEL LIKE LARGE LITTLE TIGHT I GUESS I NEED TO LOOSE WEIGHT June 21, 2012
Fantastic Great fishing shorts. Dry quick ,great material (Tired of all the nylon fishing shorts. These are great on or off the boat! June 18, 2012
70's TENNIS SHORTS The styling was nice , waist fit was smaller than normal 36. The length was extremely short!!! Haven't worn shorts this short since the 1970's while playing tennis....LOL . Totally UNSATISFIED. June 18, 2012
Fit I bought a pair last year, They did great and fit good, the pairs I just bought fit smaller, don't know if you changed manufacter or what. May 16, 2012
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. May 15, 2012
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. April 28, 2012
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. March 31, 2012
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. February 11, 2012
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. January 26, 2012
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! January 26, 2012
Shorts are a perfect fit I was looking for a pair of hiking shorts that were fitted and functional and found them at Columbia. December 30, 2011
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. December 13, 2011
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. December 5, 2011
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. October 12, 2011
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! October 12, 2011
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. September 21, 2011
FISHING SHORTS I found these shorts yrs.ago at the cotton gin on a trip to the outer banks.Im so glad you still make them ..they are the best shorts Ive ever had.thanks mike September 18, 2011
They are UGLY These shorts come up above the knee too much.They fit like something from the 70s.I had to return them. September 5, 2011
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 August 25, 2011
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. August 4, 2011
Perfect I have countless pairs of these shorts and wear them all day every day in different activities. Highly Recommended July 24, 2011
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. July 19, 2011
Fishing Shorts have 5 pair.....sweet! July 16, 2011
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. July 15, 2011
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!! July 3, 2011
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. June 12, 2011
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. June 10, 2011
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 May 18, 2011
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? May 9, 2011
great shorts love these shorts wear them about every day May 3, 2011
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. April 19, 2011
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
