Men’s ROC short
GREAT shorts. This is the first pair of Columbia shorts I have purchased, won’t be the last. These fit great from top to bottom, unlike competitors which are snug in the waist and loose everywhere else or loose in the waist and tight everywhere else. Fabric is lightweight yet strong and comfortable, breathe well.
Will be buying more of these!

Great pair of shorts!
Overall, a great pair of shorts! The only issue I have is in the crotch, I get fuzz, which I use a fabric shaver to get rid of them. When I flip the shorts inside out during the wash, I don't get them as often. Highly recommend these shorts for the guy who is on the go getting the job done.

Love em then hate em
I was very impressed with these when I first put them on. Very comfortable. The snap is flawed. Within 2 weeks shorts will, when slightly stressed, unsnap. Fix the snap and these get 4 stars.

What an EXCELLENT surprise
Wow, for a change I received a product that fits, launders so well and is such a pleasure to wear. A size 44 is hard to find let alone find a quality product at a bargain price. I have purchased other shorts in this price range with nowhere near the quality or value for the dollar.
One of the prompts leading me to select Columbia is that I received a sports shirt with their label. If fits me very well and is still wearing and looking like new after several years of hard wear.
The only complaint I have is that there are not any other color selections available and if so I would without hesitation again purchase.
I almost all of my purchases online and definitely will be a repeat customer it should also be noted that I am always asked to write a review which I rarely do because it is only an everyday purchase or nothing of exception such as this.

Great quality and nice fit
I bought these to go with a black Iron Maiden T-shirt I was going be wearing to an Alice In Chains’s concert. Very pleased with fit, comfort, and how they look. I’ll be wearing these to the Judas Priest concert at the end of the month too.

Love the fit
I'm not a tall man so finding complementary clothing that fits comfortably is a bit of a challenge sometimes. The cut on these 32" waist shorts along with the length and flair of cut make them perfect for my stocky short frame. I am also quite flexible so I demand my clothing fit through a dynamic range of motion and these shorts are just as fit as I. Thanks.

Favorite Shorts
After losing so much weight, i had to buy all new shorts. I could not find them in the stores so i ordered on line. I tried out 5 or 6 different shorts but my favorite is the Brownsmead 2 . Perfect for all occasions and fits me perfect. Cargo pockets hold my cell phone and inhaler that i need to have with me all the time then regular pockets for money and keys.

Favorite pair of shorts
I ordered these Roc shorts online, never having tried them on before. I have several items of clothing from Columbia, so I know the fit, comfort, and quality are top-notch. When these arrived, they looked stylish and fit exactly right. I love that they are not too snug and they have a great zipper pocket inside the right front pocket for securing items. After wearing them for about 5 minutes, I told my wife these are my new favorite pair of shorts!

Great, comfortable shorts, but can run a bit large. I ordered three of the same shorts in different colors. One fit perfectly, but the other two were too large in the waist.

Disappointed
I like the regular ROC better. This ultimate ROC is not as good of a design. Basically my main disappointment is that the rear pockets do not have velcro, also the snap in front is not that strong and the inseam seems bigger. Annoyed that the name implies a better product but it definitely is not. I feel the marketing was dishonest.

Everything Shorts
I love my ROC shorts. I have several pairs and wear them for everything. The are very comfortable and have the perfect pockets for my things no matter if I am hiking, fishing, or relaxing. They last forever and get more comfortable every time you wash them. Cant say enough about them best shorts I have ever worn.

Good all around shorts
These shorts are great for all around daily use. I purchased them for hiking and probably shouldn’t have because they are a little bit heavy. They will be great for around the house though. I was hoping they had elastic but they don’t, no biggie, Columbia has plenty that do.

The Ultimate Shorts ROC
I discovered this style short about three years ago in one of the Columbia Outlet Stores. It became my favorite style very quickly. They only had a few color choices and I bought several pair. Last year I was told they were going to discontinue them in the store so I bought what I could of what was left and they were all of the same color. Found them on line this year and all the color choices and so I picked out several of each color and after wearing them a day or two went back on line and ordered another pair of each color. Great style, a non-binding cut, not too baggy, no zipper or snap issues, and just the perfect pocket space. The best part is they are wife-approved and I get to wear them all the time! They do disappear quickly, so get your colors while you can.

Comfortable Short
These are very comfortable shorts. Enough pockets to hold thing without over doing it. Great light weight material. Fits big in the waist. Ordered a 32 and they fit like a 34. Would have been a 5 star rating otherwise.

Button pulled out
After just the third day of use button's rivet style backing pulled thru the material. Sadly, I think another reviewer mentioned an issue with the button. Correction, fourth time. The first pair I had to return since they were too large by 2 inches. The button is a neat concept, but why complicate things? As for sizing, tape measures are not complected. Maybe they are expecting shorts to shrink by 2 inches. I would have rated shorts higher than 1 Star, but they're somewhat useless unless you don't want buttons or like over sized waistbands. Each return cost money.

Roc shorts rock!
These shorts are very comfortable, with a nice look and are well-made. Love the snap button. Be careful putting them on not to catch your foot in the inside pocket lining. I love these shorts and will be buying more of them. A bargain, even at regular price.

Nice short
These are nice casual shorts. I prefer an inch shorter, 10 instead of 11”. The front right pocket and lower zippered pocket should not be sewed together.
I will try the regular ROC short the next time.

Very Comfortable!
I purchased all color options of this short. SO glad I did. These shorts are very comfortable. They are lightweight yet are durable. I have no issues with everyday movement and they are perfect for my day at work, out and about, and at theme parks. Only adjustment I would make to these is have a tack button instead of a snap button. Otherwise, I love them.

I just purchased 2 pairs of the Rock shorts, they are well made, fit to size and last along time. Im tough on my clothes ,however the Rock shorts can take it.I would recommend these shorts to anyone who needs a functional short that fits well and lasts.
Also, Kudos to the Columbia customer service team who where spot on with the assistance I needed with this order.

Snap button
I love everything about these shorts accept the snap closure. It has a tendency to unsnap at some pretty inopportune times. Why not a normal button and hole closure???

Fits really nice, has storage but not huge bulky pockets. These are my go to shorts for everything. Bought a second pair already. Material quality seems really good (not the stretchy thin stuff) and style is great. Enjoy.

This was a repeat purchase. I have now a total of 5 pairs. They're super comfortable which makes them a "go to" in my drawer. The only negative is the snap button becomes weak in the second or third year. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Comfort, design, true fit and durability are what I'm looking for in a all around pair of hiking shorts. The Ultimate ROC shorts fill the bill. I highly recommend these for serious hikers and great for casual wear.

Pretty good, until you squat
These are very utilitarian shorts, after nearly daily wear for over a year some of them began to show wear i.e. fabric thinning or holes appearing from frequent washings and wear.
My only gripe about these were the button, it has a nasty habit of popping open during activities such as crouching, lifting and squatting.

Best shorts I've ever owned. I will buy no other!
These shorts not only feel good they last a long time. What I like the best is the shap button. They do not come off. If you get a pair that unsnaps to easy you can easily fix that problem with a hammer. I love the side zip pocket if you have something you don't want to lose out of your pocket. Also has a small side pocket that a knife or something similar will fit into if you are out hiking. These shorts can also be worn as dress shorts they are attractive enough and go well with t-shirts or collared shirts. You'll love them

Best shorts I've ever had
I absolutely really like the Columbia ROC shorts. I think I've bought 6 or 8 in the last 10 years. They last (practically) forever, and wear well. I feel like I can pair them with just about any shirt, T-shirt, casual short sleeve shirt, or a long sleeve casual shirt (when it's cooler).
Don't know what I would do without my ROC shorts. Probably start wearing jeans.

Some of the best shorts ever
These are some of the best, most versatile shorts I've ever worn. I wear these for hiking, fishing, golf and travel. The only drawback is getting out a stain can sometimes take a few washes due likely to the tough material. But so far they've always come out and these shorts keep on trucking. That's why I bought a 2nd pair.

Love the metal "snaps"!!
I buy Columbia shorts and pants mainly because of the metal "snaps" on them. Sure they look good, fit good and wear very well. But, they are my favorite shorts and pants cuz I love the easy on and off with the metal fasteners or snaps. Buttons come off and if you're in a hurry, (bathroom emergency) the snaps are a God send. Also, I am not proficient at sewing on buttons and my wife has trouble doing it since she had a stroke 14 yrs ago. Don't ever stop using the metal snaps. I stock up on your shorts and pants because of them and in fear you will discontinue them. Thank You for good looking, comfortable and and easy to fasten and unfasten pants and shorts!!!

Husband's favorite
These are the only shorts my husband will wear. We found that after they are washed they become the most comfortable shorts in the world. They have great seat room and lots of pockets. My husband fishes and he will now use the older ones for fishing and these newer ones for going out. I bought a couple of pairs for our son to try because all of his nicer jeans look like "preppy dad" jeans - really not his style!

Need a shorter inseam
Replace the very same shorts, that after a few years of wearing them had too many holes. I like that they are not baggy and that has a zippered pocket.
But I do wish they had a shorter inseam version.
