Great shorts
I had a pair of these in blue and loved this pattern. My only problems with these shorts are the leg holes are wide I wish they were a little slimmer and the inter netting dries a lot slower than the rest of the shorts.

Nice Trunks!
Love the fact that they have a pockets in the front and zipper pocket in the back. Fit great and love the design. They dry fast compared to other trunks I have. Can’t complain about this item.

My son loves these shorts!
My son now has about ten pairs of these shorts. He loves the latest ones with the American flag theme. He wears one of his PFG shorts just about every day. Thanks for making them comfortable and durable for a 17 year old very active boy!

True fit, great function
I'm an active person who has little time for equipment failure. These shorts move with me weather I'm fishing or hiking or just playing with the kids. Highly recommend for anyone!

Perfect shorts for the Holidays!
All Columbia shorts for the water are great. Super comfy and dry quick outside the water. Love these for our kayaking trips. And this design is great for Memorial and Independence Day!

Awesome Product
FIT runs true to size with enough room to move without "crunching" sensitive areas. Drawstrings are there for custom waist adjustment; the material appears to be of good quality and weight (time will tell) making these Shorts a great investment....... I recommend these shorts to anyone who is active around water or the couch!!

Favorite Shorts on the Markets!
Columbia shorts are the only few shorts I own for a reason. They are super comfortable and versatile. You can use them as swimming trunks,casual wear, or as fishing shorts. Belt loops are added for a belt or to hook on tools/keys. Highly recommend these shorts to any person!

Quality Swim Shorts
These are some very quality swim shorts. Material is light, dries quickly, and fits comfortable around the waist. The leg openings are a little large, so maybe a smaller size would be recommended if you like a tighter fit around your thighs.
I ordered the M shorts and I wear a 32-33 waist pants, about 180 pounds if that helps you in choosing a size.

Great swim short
Got the Navy gingham and it's a nice summer pattern for swim wear.
Ordered in Medium this time since I found the Small (in a solid color) I ordered a month before felt ok, but slightly tight for a 32 waist.
The Medium is comfortable for 32 waist, but the leg openings are now somewhat too wide. Oh well, I can size up or down when I wear it since I have small and medium choices.
Maybe these will work even better for those in the odd sizes, lol. 31 waist can go for small. 33 waist can go for medium.

A Great Water Short For Fishing, Sailing, Water Activities
A nice fit true to its size, nice style for hanging around the beach or harbor, will shock your fishing buddies with your swagger! A nice all around water short, dries quickly, nice water resistance.

Great all around
I use these shorts for everything. They are great in the water for swimming or fishing as they are designed. But my favorite use is for Golf. They are light and cool while being flexible. I have purchased many pairs of backcasts through the years and they just keep getting better with the fit and the feel of the shorts.

Great trunks
These are great trunks, very lightweight but made well enough to last. The only complaint is they run about a half size large. I ordered the XL which is my size in 95% of all swim trunks, but would consider a L next time.

Love these shorts!
I purchased these super backcast shorts in navy gingham for my teenage son. He has gotten so many compliments on them and he loves them. They are great quality and perfect to wear all summer especially if you are in and out of the pool- they dry super quick. These super backcast shorts are just a little bit shorter than the regular backcast shorts, and the fit is great. Would highly recommend!
