Women’s Brewha™ II Short 4.8 5 77 77
It's about time As I have seen so many other customers say that they like the quality of the fabric, it is so durable. The pockets are roomy, the length is not too long, not too short, just right for sporting events. I myself like the higher waist and that is very hard to find in clothing today. I wish that you would keep a larger inventory on hand for customers to order and a wider color selection to choose from. It seems that my size is a very popular, therefore you don't have any in stock for me to order. Please keep more in stock! May 9, 2013
Good casual short! Really like these shorts.The fit and length is good.The fabric has some weight, so even the white shorts have good coverage.Another nice feature -they come up a bit higher on the waist than most current styles so they are comfortable if you are active.Probably not the best look if you are going to tuck a top in for fashions sake- would probably have a "Mom jean" look .Also like how they come out of the dryer and are not REALLY wrinkled like a lighter weight cotton would be.

Brewha II Shorts Had these before and had to order again. The fit is perfect for me, I always have difficulty finding a good fit. December 22, 2012
Love the fit These are my favorite style of shorts and I have worn them for the last 5 years. They are comfortable and sturdy. I especially like the little bit of elastic at the waist that is missing from most shorts. I have a small waist by comparison to my hips so with these there is no "gap" and the shorts look good even without a belt. December 17, 2012
This product is my favorite kind of shorts. I always am satisfied with any of my Columbia purchases. The quality is always better that average. They wear so well and look good years later. The fit is always good and the shorts that I love have plenty of pockets, which is important to me. They are easy to care for throw them in the wash then into the dryer. The lenght is just how I like it, no too short, but not Burmuda length either. November 18, 2012
XS vs. S is a big difference I love these shorts. Sturdy. Great pockets for a PE teacher--can hold my cell phone, sunglasses, reading glasses, student pass pad, clip my id badge, waistband can hold my key clip and heavy walkie talkie without puling my pants down! Just be aware that the size difference between XS and S is alot--I need to line dry my XS so they don't shrink, and I keep trying to shrink my size Small in the dryer! October 13, 2012
Best Shorts Ever These shorts are great. They are perfect for my trip to to The Galapagos Islands. Great for hiking, biking, walking,casual,etc. October 9, 2012
This product is definitely made to fit a "mature" woman!! I love these shorts - the waist fits AT THE WAIST, which I have been looking for forever, it seems. I wanted a very comfortable hiking/walking short that fit at the waist and was a nice, discreet length, but not too long to hinder leg movement. I also wanted an elastic waist and lots of pockets. These shorts are everything I was looking for and more. Thanks so much for making a short that doesn't "fit below the waist", and for remembering that a woman with a woman's figure still likes to get out and be active. I have already purchased a second pair in a different color, just in case they stop making them, which I hope they do not!!! Great product!!! September 26, 2012
Great Fit Surprised at how well the product fit. IMPORTANT to follow the fit guidelines and measurements as I ended up ordering Small instead of Medium (which I normally would order). I really like the features, material, and color. My only wish were that the length was a bit longer. September 21, 2012
Perfect fit I love pockets and these shorts have them--side pockets, flap pockets for a cell phone or credit card, rear zip pocket. The fit is good, they are very comfortable. I was mourning the end of life of my favorite Columbia cargo shorts and am delighted to find a replacement. September 19, 2012
Besides the above items, they wash beautifully & no shrinkage. I love these because I can stuff ID, drivers license & credit cards in the closed pockets & not have to carry a purse. My only complaint is that they no longer are made in denim. I have 2 previously purchased pairs in denim & I really liked them. These are really great for an all around pair of shorts. September 14, 2012
Best Shorts ever These are great shorts. They fit well (XS for 5'2", 102) and are good quality. The pockets keep me coming back for more. I wish I could get a pair of long pants with the same style and cell phone pocket. These are all I wear in the summer. September 12, 2012
Lots of pockets I purchased these shorts for hiking and travel. The pockets are deep, which prevents items from falling out when you change positions, which comes in handy. They are well constructed of a heavy weight fabic and the fit is comfortable. I am very pleased with this product. September 1, 2012
the product is well made These are similar to ones I bought years ago. They are pretty worn, but they are my favorite. It looks like these will last as long. August 31, 2012
Excellent product These have become my favorite shorts. I now have 3 different colors. They fit well and are incredibly comfortable. We camp often and go to sporting events often and I love the pockets. I am able to take everything I need. The pockets are big enough that I don't feel I will lose my things. They are long enough to cover the important parts, without being so long that I may as well be wearing capris. August 30, 2012
Lots of Pockets! I use these shorts for work in a greenhouse nursery. There are more than enough pockets to carry my phone etc. The length is perfect for easy movement, but also long enough to be conservative enough to wear while at work dealing with the public. I appreciate the flat front with a little bit of stretch in the back waistband. These would also be great hiking shorts. August 24, 2012
Flattering fit I love the shape of these shorts. Very comfortable and flattering. August 20, 2012
Product was great until a month later... I ordered a few pairs of these shorts several years ago and was very happy with them, they lasted several years under severe scrutiny. I decided to order a few more pairs but it seems these are much cheaper than the shorts I bought a few years ago. After a month I already have a hole in one pair since the fabric seems much thinner. In addition, the zipper has failed on a different pair after only a month of use. I consulted the return policy and it looks like it expires after a month...guess I have to see if I can fix it myself. August 19, 2012
Great fit These shorts are the perfect length and fit for this active 55 year old. I purchase Columbia shorts exclusively because of the quality and durability and because they are neither too long nor too short for a 5' 1" woman. There are plenty of pockets without adding bulk. Highly recommend these shorts. August 19, 2012
not really surprising, these are great shorts, just like all of your clothes, I've found! the fit is perfect, they wash and wear beautifully,practical, yet very comfortable and versitile. I highly recommend these shorts August 15, 2012
Great fit and quality I've been wearing a pair of Columbia cargo shorts for over 20 years, but they're finally starting to show their age. I love them so much but couldn't find a similar style until now. The Brewha shorts are very flattering and comfortable, and I expect to be wearing them for the next 20 years as well! August 15, 2012
pockets galore I love all the pockets this shorts provides. Two deep pockets with 2 shorter velcro pockets on top, a zipper pocket on the rear, and a pocket on the right hip with elastic top as a closure(great for keeping your cell phone close at hand). The material keeps its shape with a little elastic in the back waist.Price is a little on the pricey side. August 6, 2012
Great shorts! These are attractively styled shorts that are comfortable to wear and are made of a quality fabric. I have them in three colors. Really like them and will buy more of them. In fact, these are the most comfortable shorts I own as the ones I used to buy in department stores are made for people who have no shape at all. Also, you can't go wrong with a lot of nice pockets and these shorts have them! August 6, 2012
shorts Have not found shorts that fit in YEARS...these were perfect, will order more! August 4, 2012
Love these Shorts Great shorts. Love the pockets, great fit. July 26, 2012
Excellent Quality I love the function of these shorts. When walking I use the pockets to the max!! I now have all three colors! July 24, 2012
Excellent Short for Outdoor Activity! I specifically ordered this short because I had a pair in the past and loved them. I have recently joined a women's shooting team and this short went with me to the competition. I love the variety of pockets and specifically their locations. These shorts allowed me to carry all of my necessary items along with me during the day. Very durable and they held up to the rugged conditions very well! July 23, 2012
I love them They fit great. They're soft and comfy. I will probably get more in other colors July 20, 2012
Still love these shorts I've had a couple previous pairs of these shorts for years. I especially loved the ones in denim fabric that I wore until they wore out. They are great for hiking and just about anything. Tough and comfortable is how I would describe them. No big gaps at the back of the waistband either. Nice deep front pockets. Bought my first pairs at Cabela's and bought 3 new pairs online from Columbia. July 19, 2012
Great Fit - Great Wear The Women's Brewha II Short fits like it should - for a women's figure. It's sized so comfortably in the waist and hips that I am ready to take that 20 mile hike. The material moves with the most strenuous motions and retains it's new look with multiple washing. Love the hooks and velcroed pockets. I feel like a girl scout again - and I'm just turning 70. OH - must tell you that my 81 year old hubby says that this is the first pair of shorts I've worn in a long time that show off my good looking gams to their best advantage! Columbia did a bang up job on the design, sizing contours and material. I bought two pairs at regular price - watching to see if they go on sale so I can scoop up another two to four more! July 8, 2012
Women's Brewha II Shorts Durable, high quality, comfortable, cool and an overabundance of pockets! Sheer perfection. July 2, 2012
Finally shorts at my waist Almost ten or more years ago I bought Columbia Shorts that rode at my waist. I got tons of compliments and unfortunately none of us could find an equal in comfort, quality and fit. FINALLY - I can buy new shorts. These fit well and while I thought the material would be a bit heavier then I normally like - they are surprisingly more comfortable then I expected. They look great too. Tailored and appear fashionable but are totally functional too. I ordered two more pairs. Thanks for finally making me a short with the waist where it belongs! June 11, 2012
Perfect for hiking These shorts are great for hiking. Roomy enough to climb over rocks, not too long or short, and the fabric is tough without being heavy. I love all the roomy pockets and tabs for my hiking essentials. June 7, 2012
comfy comfy, well-made but just a bit stiff. June 6, 2012
Fit good and look great My 65 y/o wife was doubtful. They fit, they look good after being in a pack or suit case and she decided she likes pockets. We went to a a Store that carriers Columbia clothing and purchased at least 5 more of your products. Two more pair like this one the same color another in a different shade. She also got three pair of peddle pushers. June 4, 2012
Great fit These shorts are really comfortable and well made. June 1, 2012
Comfortable, but grows These are very comfortable shorts, and true to size, but, by the end of the day, they've "grown" a size. I usually wash in cold water, but I'm going to try washing them in hot water this time and see if they'll "set." May 24, 2012
Great all around shorts My husband and I spend 2 to 3 days a week doing all kinds of outdoor activities, so, I have been looking for a comfortable, versatile pair of shorts for quite some time. I had old favorites that have simply worn out. After many disappointments I found these shorts. The fabric is soft yet thick enough to keep their shape. The fit is flattering and made for a woman. I now have one in each color and love them all. May 12, 2012
Perfect! These shorts are great! Just the right length for me, sturdy, with a little give in the waist. They are shorts that you'll live in all summer long. April 26, 2012
Not exactly pretty, but VERY comfy and functional! My bf makes fun of me every time I wear them when we go hiking, but they are so comfortable and functional, I just promise him that I 'll only wear them on the trail! All the pockets are perfectly placed and just the right size! March 19, 2012
Size is on the small side I ordered a small which is 4-6. It seemed that the shorts were a size 4. So, if you wear a 6 in shorts get a medium. I sent them back an ordered a medium. I will let you know how the medium fits. March 11, 2012
Too snug Had to return this items as they were too snug. The quality and look of the shorts are great, but just a little to tight around the waist. February 14, 2012
Comfortable shorts These shorts are so comfortable, I am going to order a pair in every color! February 4, 2012
Great comfort & great looking shorts I recently purchased 2 pairs of the Women's Brewha II Shorts and I am extremely happy with both! They are very comfortable, great quality, and great looking. I do a lot of biking and walking around and these shorts are perfect for both. The only slight negative I can say is that the inseam is a bit too long on one of the pairs I purchased, but it is in no way uncomfortable or unflattering (at least not to me). I would definitely recommend purchasing these shorts and plan on purchasing another pair in the near future. February 3, 2012
Perfect!!! It is a great shorts. It fits perfect!!The fabric and color are beautifull. January 20, 2012
Just right for hiking... These are the perfect length for hiking, and fit as I had expected them to for a size small (4-6)...good pockets and very comfortable...glad I ordered two pairs! January 6, 2012
Great Shorts My wife is a preschool director and has only active days at work. She loves to wear the Columbia shorts to work. One small feature she really loves is the elasticized cell phone pocket. December 17, 2011
great shorts. These shorts are the best looking, , softest, best fitting shorts I have ever bought. That is why I got one of each color. I love them. I love the fit, the pockets,and the colors. November 20, 2011
Best shorts ever! The fit is great, pockets galore. Just love them. Pretty much wash and wear. Great product. Easy to use web site. November 18, 2011
Love Women's Brewha II Shorts these are great...more colors, please! November 5, 2011
