My go-to shorts
I have so many pairs of these shorts in every color. The fit & performance is very dependable with a perfect length, modest without being matronly. I live in a climate with miserable hot & sticky summer so the lightweight and quick-dry fabric is a necessity. The only negative thing I could even think of to say is the elastic in the waist tends to give way after a couple years, but this is with steady 9-months of the year use so not to be unexpected. They are still perfectly wearable. This pair (navy) came with contrasting white stitching which surprised me. Not sure if this is intentional or a mistake as they are not described or pictured this way, but I will keep them as it’s not a dealbreaker.

I’ll never be without these shorts!!!
I have been wearing these shorts for YEARS and I LOVE THEM. When I first bought these it was for a cruise vacation and I wore them almost every day! The moisture wicking was a godsend in the tropics where it rained the entire day but my shorts wicked it right off! I was astounded! While everyone else was soaked I was blissfully comfortable. I’ll always have at least a few pairs of these in my wardrobe at all times! A MUST HAVE!!

Good buy
I bought this pair during sales for $14.98. It is a little bit bigger than I thought. The adjustable waistband comes in handy. The material is light. It is good for Texas summer. The pocket on each side is deep. I can put my phone and my wallet in them and have my hands free when I go out for walk. I would like it more if the length of the shorts is longer.

Best shorts I've found!
I have multiple pairs of these shorts- they are perfect for kayaking, biking & warm weather hiking. Great for travel since they pack small & dry very quickly.
Highly recommend!

Good for sports, boating, camping
5'4", 160 lbs, size large
- the legs are full, but not baggy
- I am not long waisted, but these fit a bit short in the crotch.
- Nice looking, belt adds to appeal
- fabric has a bit of a rustle sound
I bought another color for myself, and 2 colors for my sister.

Love these!
These are great shorts especially for kayaking and hiking. I do a lot of both. Very comfortable. Dries quickly. Plenty of pockets - and has zip pockets for things like keys. They fit great. I bought a pair during the late summer in Canada - and just bought 2 new pairs on-line. Love Colombia products.

Great All-Purpose Shorts
Unlike many other shorts, these are cut to fit perfectly and are very comfortable for exercise and sunny days in the backyard. At my age, they're too short (I know, 6" is 6" ... the length is not a big surprise) for me to be comfortable wearing them out-and-about, but that's me and not the shorts.

Nice shorts for backpacking
These are light, resist abrasion, and dry quickly. They bunch up between my legs when running, but not when walking. The side pockets are too little for even an electronic car key, but the front pockets are ample.

love shorts BUT!!
I own 5 pairs of these shorts. Bought 2, then 3 more. Belt is silly and tricky, much of the time I find it flapping and think I will get rid of them. They serve no purpose. My very real issue is the front pockets are way too shallow. I have lost a lens cap for a camera, dumped credit cards on the ground and the last straw dumped my cell phone in the toilet. I have a much much older version of Columbia shorts that none of that has ever happened. Rethink the p belt, make front pockets a couple of inches deeper.. Great short though, Saved me in the oppressive heat Long Island experienced this summer. And I shall buy again, there is nothing better out there.

So comfortable
I now have three pairs of these shorts, in various colors. My only critique is that I preferred the stretchy belt that came with an older version - less fuss with the on-and-off, you see, and slightly more comfort. But the length is great, the fit is comfortable, and they work like a charm for paddling.

I love theses shorts!
I use these shorts for Summer hiking and kayaking. I bought my first pair last year in black. I was pleased to see the red and navy on sale. They dry quickly and are comfortable. They have belt loops, which help me keep track of my car keys. There are four pockets; one is small and zippered (holds my lip moisturizer). The waistband has elastic, but not the body of the shorts. However, they are roomy enough that I am not bothered by the lack of stretch. They are quite short, but I consider this a comfort advantage.

I love these shorts!
I loved these shorts so much that I ordered a second pair. I go kayaking and camping and these are perfect on land and on the water. The lightweight material dries quickly. They come with a belt but I really don't bother with it as the elastic waist keeps them up. I actually use the belt with my hiking pants. A win win! I usually wear size 8 to 10 pants so the M fits me just fine. They have side pockets and also a small zipper pocket which is great for keys or money. I will be keeping my eye on these when they are on sale. My take, you can never have too many shorts that you love. And I do love these!

Sandy River Cargo Shorts
I searched long and hard looking for a pair of light weight shorts. And I finally found them in Columbia Cargo Shorts. The material is very light and not heavy which makes wearing them during the hot months very comfortable. They fit more or less true to size. I wear a size 12 in slacks but chose a size 14 in the shorts. Bought 2 pair -- red and black. My only wish is that Columbia would have added a few more zippered pockets on them so I wouldn't have to carry a separate bag for incidentals. Diane South Carolina

Love the shorts, I have had 3 pair that I was replacing (25 years of wear),
Wished the cargo pockets were bigger, doesn't hold wallet or money,
Also missed the stretchable belts you used to have. And the back pocket!
Good shorts
