Men's Permit™ Short 4.2 5 13 13
Love all the pockets!! I love these shorts.. fit and feel great, and again love all the pockets!!!38 April 22, 2013
Great in desert heat! These nylon shorts allow perspiration to evaporate very quickly, leaving me drier, cooler, and more comfortable than any shorts I've ever worn. I spend a lot of time in 100 degree + heat, and they are simply great. With sunblock, and the heat reflecting light color, I don't see how they could be improved. April 10, 2013
Mens Permit Shorts The first pair I ordered were too large at 36" waist. I sent them back and got the 34". They fit really well. I like all the pockets, especially the top one which holds my cell phone. March 27, 2013
Fishing Gear WOW! I wanted to ask Columbia if I could write a review, well I wear almost everything Columbia hats, shirts, pants, shorts, belts and even shoes. Recently as the weather has warmed some I purchased another pair of PFG shorts the 10" Permit short in carbon blue, I do a lot of fishing 12 to 14 times a month and recently got my bow in the mud and weeds and had to jump out to push my boat back a little but pushed to hard and boat and I both found deeper water, well I was fully dressed and hate to fish wet, well bucause I had on PFG gear I was dry in about 15 minutes, shoes shirts and shorts all dry, if you are active and sweat like I do no matter your sport you have to try this gear. It is truly worth every penny, light weight but tough and soaking wet to dry in minutes you will love it, I bought most of mine at gander mountain but recently starting shopping at columbia.com. In short I love columbia's active wear and I think anyone who is active and cares about staying cool and dry and their clothing lasting along time would feel the same. And let's face it that's just about everybody. Good Luck and Happy Fishing or whatever you do, gotta go catch some bass bye... March 22, 2013
Returning them The waist was fine. Need 12" inseam, too short, kind of like old man fishing shorts. Not as roomy as I would like. Material is great. Pockets are too shallow. These shorts would be good if there were more room in the front and rear with deeper pockets. I found 3 other brands of synthetic fiber shorts that are more current in regards to overall fit. If you like snug fitting shorts with shallow pockets, these are for you. March 21, 2013
Shorts are too long! They fit well and the material is light.Overall, the functional aspect depends on YOUR NEEDS!Columbia dropped the Super Bonehead Short from last year which was 'boneheaded.' Sometimes, when you are wet wading you want something a little shorter so the bottom does not get wet.Columbia sacrificed function over fashion for freshwater fishing. They probably sell well for the boat fisherman crowd but for trout fishing and scrambling around, they definitely aren't as good as they used to be. Still, I understand the need for marketing. Gotta sell to the wanna be's! February 1, 2013
Great Feel These shorts are a must have! They have tons of storage for those outdoors items due to the many pockets. They are equally usefull in everday wearing. Soft and comfortable. October 4, 2012
Light weight Good light weight cargo/fishing shorts. A zip pocket someplace would be nice. September 13, 2012
Not bad Well built. Be careful on the size, though, the tag says 32", like I ordered, but it's at least 2" bigger. September 6, 2012
Better than the Cargo Shorts The lightweight material beats the heat compared to the cotton cargo shorts. Material also repels stains better too. I've worn the cargo chorts for years and one of the frustrations I've had is that the pocket pleat on the front of the shorts gets caught on cabinet door pulls. This has gotten very annoying. The Permit short does not have the same pocket design and is free from catching on cabinet door pulls or whatever else is in the way.Great pair of shorts. I bought three pairs. July 23, 2012
Presnt To Myself Bought these with a Birthday coupon as a present to myself specifically for kayaking. They are very comfortable, dry amazingly quickly, and are light as a feather. Love em! Will probably buy some more whenever they have a big sale or something! June 21, 2012
Awesome Shorts I needed new shorts for fishing as I am a Backcountry Guide in the Lower Keys. They are almost too nice. My girlfriend suggested that I reserve them for night out on the town. Very comfortable and quick drying. Love them! May 15, 2012
Somewhat disappointed As someone who has bought Columbia product for many years I am disappointed in the QC of several of my recent purchases. I bought 5 pair of Permit shorts this past week and the quality is not consistent, seams not sown or zippers not right. I also bought a pair of Columbia sandals that have rough edges and are not that comfortable, they rub where they should not. March 29, 2012
