Great Discovery High Quality
I had shopped at many sites trying to get these trunks in the size and color that i wanted. I was looking for the Riptide ( Light Blue) in size 3X and lucky for me all the other sites were out of stock. So like Columbus I decided to go right to the source, and discovered a great ratio of quality and price at this great Columbia site.
What made me buy these "water shorts" is the innovate name and design. These "Water Shorts" are innovative in marketing and design. They are what they say they are swim trunks in the water and casual stylish shorts on land. I like the belt loops and I like the zippered back pocket because I can go for a swim put my credit card in my back pocket. By adding loops you transform swim trunks into great looking casual shorts. Dual function in one garment not just for swimming but for everyday use here in warm NC . So simple and thankfully Columbia has done it with quality construction at a great price. This purchase was the best solution to my problem great fit great usefulness the best trunk-shorts I have owned
I discovered a new world on this site. As a big man who has a hard time finding clothes that fit, there are not clothes in my size everywhere so I was smart to come to the source for Columbia. I am definitely buying more in the future from this site.
I bought the Riptide Blue color shorts in size 3X and the fit is great I can add a white web belt and to get a great look. I am impressed with the quality, the fit, the delivery time and the overall experience at this site. Because of the fit and the quality to price ratio along with the accurate description and quick delivery service I highly recommend buying water shorts here at this site.

More comfortable than expected!!
I purchased these shorts on the suggestion of my personal physician to deal with a problem of scrotal eczema. I was greatly impressed with how comfortable these shorts are for everyday wear. They are true to size and with the belt loops make a GREAT addition to my summer wardrobe.

Great as swimming trunks!
These are fantastic swim trunks! I know they are targeted for fishing, however I wanted a bathing suite that had inside draw strings and were at least a few inches above my knees. These are absolutely perfect and the bonus is they have great, deep front pockets and a zipper back-pocket.

These are ok, but...
not nearly as good as Bimini Bay nylon shorts IMO. These have only 4 pockets with a drawstring, Bimini Bay has 9 with a zipper. These are more oriented towards swimming, Bimini Bay . more like cargo shorts.

Great for the heat and fishing
Use these for fishing, love them....don't sweat your butt off. I usually wear a 3X, have big legs form weight lifting and most clothes are too tight, I went a size up and they fit great and can be tightened up in the waist. Highly recommend you try these shorts out.

A must have!
My son is 6'2" and 290lbs. It isn't easy shopping for him due to most brands not carrying sizes for bigger people. These are amazing! He loves them. He wears them for swimming, fishing, to school or just hanging out with friends. They fit him great, he wears a 2X and these are true to size. We have already ordered him more in different colors. Thanks Columbia for an amazing product!

Great swim trunks
Love these swim trunks. I am large in the thigh area and found these still fit really well. Other swim shorts tend to be too tight for me but these are a perfect fit. They also dry really fast!

Swim shorts
My husband only likes swim shorts with a mesh "panty" inside. He had looked all over and was very happy to have these swim shorts available. He is a big guy, so it was great that we were able to find a size to fit into him. He had looked at all the sport stores in town without finding what he wanted. Shipping was quick and within a few days of placing the order the swim shorts arrived. Just in time for our Florida vacation! Thanks so much!

Perfect fit
These shorts fit amazingly. I am a large gentleman that is very active. I have full range of motion whether I'm fishing on the boat, docks, or land. They dry quick and light when wet. I won't waste my money trying other fishing shorts after this.
