Perfect for any use
I wore these almost every day while in Puerto Rico. I bought them just before my trip because I had the same style in pants, and I'm so glad I got these. I wore them as casual shorts, and even as bathing suit bottoms. I was able to hand wash them at night and they were dry the following day for use again. I love these. As soon as I got home from my trip, I bought two more pair in other colors.

Excellent shorts
I bought a pair of these shorts in a sale and loved them so much I ordered a pair in every color. I wore them throughout summer and beyond and they have held up through multiple activities and washes. They're so versatile; I wore them for fishing, walking, golf, road trips, grocery shopping, yard work, etc. They're super comfortable and look great. The UPF and water repellancy are great features. The only minus on functionality is I wish they had at least one back pocket but for the price I paid and the use I've already gotten out of them that's nitpicking.

Love these - and I own about a dozen pairs of Columbia shorts. They pretty much never wear out, and I'm rough on the. If these had a back pocket for a cell phone, they'd be perfect.

Comfortable, Durable Shorts
I have these shorts in two colors and really like them both. They are comfortable and do not stretch out. They seem to run a little small through the hips, but overall fit well.

Great travel shorts
I absolutely love the Anytime Outdoor pants/shorts. I have traveled all over in them in varying climates. They are lightweight and do not wrinkle easily. For colder climates I slip on some thermals underneath to keep me a little warmer. Great colors and styles. I'd say my favorite style was the ankle pant that they no longer carry but I like the capri, 5" shorts and bootcut pants as well. My only issues are 1) they tend to pill/snag in areas of friction or where you sit, 2) one of my pairs (the bootcut pants) has developed a hole in the rear near seams and 3) the lighter colors show cellulite. I also wish there was a back pocket in the 5" shorts like the pants and capris. Overall I love the 'Anytime Outdoor' line and own 8 pairs of varying lengths and colors.

My Favorite!
I first purchased these a couple of years ago and fell in love with the comfort. I started with a size 16 and after losing weight last year I was able to buy 12's this year. I can still wear the 16s and 14s since the shorts are so forgiving and have a drawstring. They stand up to use very well. My oldest pair has some pilling between the legs but my suspicion is that happened when I washed them with some fluffy towels. The blue is a great color. I also have them in the black and the green.

A gift from Jesus himself
Being a college student and working in a bike shop that has no AC I barely survive the California summer heat. I needed a nice breathable clothing optional that was not only appropriate but functional and cute looking. These shorts are very versatile, from everyday wear and tear to climbing in a gym in the evening, these shorts allow me to do it all. I love them so much I bought a second pair in another color.

These shorts are super comfy. I bought them to fish in but I ended up wearing them for every day shorts. I usually wear a 6-8 misses size but had to get these in a size 10.

Best shorts EVER!
These are the best shorts I have ever worn. The fit is true to size, the short has some stretch and comes out of the wash looking great each and every time. These shorts are my go to shorts, have tried others and these are the best by far, pockets, and soooo comfortable.

Very nice light pair of shorts
These are great! I would totally order several more pairs If I didn't have so many shorts already. They're very nice fit perfect length and a very nice cool breathable material! I only have one slight problem with them and that's the button is so tight it's almost impossible to get on snapped once it snapped. I have other pants from Columbia with the same snap so I might return them just for another pair so I don't end up ripping the material to unsnap the shorts.

Love these shorts!
I bought a pair of Women's Anytime Outdoor Shorts years ago in red and love them, so I ordered another in black. More color choices in these shorts would be appreciated. The fabric is great, especially for outdoor adventures. They are quick-drying if you get rained on and comfortable for hiking. I like the casual feel and forgiving fit plus the look is a step up from a more casual gym short. I am 5' 4" and 130 lbs and wear the size 6.

Women’s anytime outdoor shorts
Theses shorts are the best they are very
durable and comfy. I have about 6 pairs along
the pants just like them you can dress them up or
Just be casual. It doesn’t matter if I work outside in the dirt
and mud they always come clean if I get in a rain
shower they dry immediately they don’t fade
ever I’ve even accidentally bleached my black pair
and it didn’t put spots on them or fade them. I even wear them to work as dress pants.
These are so awesome

Legs are tight
The material of these shorts is great. It's lightweight and perfect for being outside in the summer. The fit in the waist is completely accurate and the length is as well. However, the holes for your legs is super tight! I am a size 4 and don't do massive workouts where I have large thighs but I am fit. I find myself constantly having to pull these down. Even walking my dog, they ride up to look like swimsuit bottoms. For those with really petite legs or who don't mind having to constantly adjust I'm sure they work fine but I wouldn't have bought them if I had gotten them in a store instead of online.

I bought 1 pair of these to try and loved them so much that I bought 5 more pairs! I'm a size 2 but had to get the size 4 and they fit just right with a little wiggle room for the days when I'm retaining a lot of water. Perfect to dress up or down, and very cool and comfortable.

Great for Water Activities
I love these shorts. We were out on a boat for 9 hours, in and out of the water. They were water resistant when I was wearing them so I wasn't soaked when we hit some larger swells and they dried off quickly after putting them on after swimming. I highly recommend them.

My most favorite shorts ever! I have 2 pairs each in 3 colors. I wear them everywhere. I am 5'9" and wear a 10-12. I prefer these in size 12, I like a slightly looser fit.

My favorite shorts!
I live in these shorts in the hot summer months. I usually wear a size 10 in pants/shorts, and have a very straight shape with a wide waist and no hips or butt. My issues with shorts are generally too much fabric in the hips, or too tight a waist, or too wide a leg opening. This style seems to run a bit large overall (I might actually be able to wear an 8). I love that they stay put, have pockets, and are comfortable even when I'm soaked in sweat.
I bought 2 new pairs recently, after noticing pilling on the inside of the legs of my old shorts, but it took at least 2 summers of wear for that to happen. The new shorts seem to have a slightly heavier fabric, but I may have simply worn the old ones out!

My new running shorts
I love these shorts. I bought a pair and didn’t have my running shorts with me, so I used these. They were perfect! Not too short, didn’t ride up, and flexible. And of course I wear them casually as originally intended. Bought 3 more pairs.

Comfy
I bought these due to my love of the Anytime capri pants and was not disappointed. They are extremely comfortable. My only complaint is that the leg openings of the shorts are a little narrow, making the shorts a little tighter around the thigh than I prefer.

Comfy & Stretchy
I ordered these shorts to have a versatile summer short that I could wear for hiking and playing outside with my kids. These shorts are long enough for me to feel comfortable and covered but still short enough that I don’t feel like I am wearing “old lady shorts.” They are tight, but the fabric is super stretchy and easy to move in. The tightness makes them look a bit more feminine than other outdoor/hiking shorts. As I recently had a baby and I am still losing weight, I wanted a pair of shorts that would be adjustable and stay up even after losing 10 lbs. These do have a drawstring and (to my surprise) a button at the top of the fly and I think they will still stay up and look nice as they get looser.
I am currently 5’ 7” and weigh 175 lbs. I ordered a size 12.
