So comfortable!
Love these shorts. The length is perfect. The fabric is light, cool , and breathable. These are just what I was looking for. Got caught in a rain storm the other day. When I got home, only thing dry was my shorts. Awesome. Look no further. These are great.

Good shorts
These shorts will be great for a lot of outdoor activities. I ordered two pair and, though both fit, the blue is a bit larger than the tan (which are a little snug). I will wear these a lot and like the larger thigh openings to give a bit more flexibility for activity.

Wore these on a Colorado rafting trip + back country hiking in CO and was very happy with the performance and comfort! Love the belt, came in handy to loop on extra gear.

Would be perfect if only
Found your site looking for Weatherproof Garment Co. My favorite shorts have their label. Your site carries similar cargo shorts of which I bought 2 pair. Thought I was buying very similar product, lots of functionality, roomy pockets. Fabric is fabulous, shorts are very comfortable but shorts lack utility features.
Extra pockets at front are tiny & did you forget the back pockets? Must have been an over site, right? If not for these issues the shorts would be absolutely perfect. Oh & the regular front pocket opening ends to low at side seem. Items in pockets fall out when I sit down. Please accept these comments as a positive review. I look forward to new quality cargo shorts & pants from you in the near future.

Great performance!
Bought two pair of these shorts for hiking trip in desert SW. Despite being in the desert we had several water adventures. The pants allowed for free movement when hiking (Virgin River in Zion); swimming (Lake Powel) and sliding down rocks (Slide Rock in AZ). They dried off quickly so we could go on to our next adventure, even when that was a trip to "town." Felt safe with my keys & cash in zippered pocket. Loved being able to hand-wash & drip dry them. They still look great and ready for our next adventure - wherever that may be.

One of my favorites. I love the relaxed fit, they are wrinkle free, and great colors. I'm always disappointed when they are in the laundry and not available to wear

Glad to see the return of navy as a color choice
These shorts are super comfortable and dry very fast. I cannot comment on the sun-screening properties as I'm lucky to hike mostly in the shade here. I like the quick-release belt. The only improvement I could suggest is a back pocket large enough for a cell phone; this would make it more comfortable for walking up hill. There are nice front pockets, however.

Perfect Hiking Shorts
I love these shorts for hiking and everyday. They are a perfect length, wear great, are lightweight fabulous fabric. They give me plenty of room to move.
If I were going to change one thing it would be that one of the pockets have a zipper to put my phone in so it doesn't fall out during hiking, but easy to grab if I don't want to miss a photo

Inconsistent Sizing
I love these shorts and have six pairs in different colors, however, you really have to try them on. In order to submit this review, I was forced to choose a "fit" option, however, "true to size" is not accurate.
SIZING IS VERY INCONSISTENT. I order size medium and, like Goldilocks, some are tight, some large, some just right.

I now own 6 pairs!
These shorts are incredibly comfortable and quick drying. They travel well and any wrinkles quickly smooth out. I also own a few pairs of the regular Sandy River shorts and these are much more comfortable for me. I have long legs but a fairly short body plus my waist is much smaller than my hips - the regular Sandy River shorts try their best to get that waist band as high up on my waist as possible ( bringing the crotch with them). I take the belt out of these and they sit perfectly on my hips without riding up. I will definitely be ordering more!

The Perfect Shorts
These are the only brand of shorts I own. I have at least a dozen pairs. I'm hoping for more vibrant colors in the future. I'm 5'5" ... 115 pounds .. I purchased a medium and they fit perfectly. I'm always worried about ordering clothing online, but now I know I can buy more of these ... in more colors :) I hope Columbia never stops making these shorts!

Good product, ok fit
I love the material and quality of these shorts, and they are the closest shorts I could find to fitting. I have a small waist and big hips and they ride up a little in the back. Overall, I like them, but I'm always looking for shorts made for more curvy girls!
FYI, I'm 5'5", 130 lbs, usually wear a size 27 pant and I bought a size small. With the elastic waist, I'm sure a medium would fit too however be a bit baggy in the legs.

Returned them because they rode up between my legs
These have a 6" inseam and given the light fabric, rode up between my legs when I walked. If you have skinny legs which don't rub together, these would be great shorts. The waiste cinches in, which is also nice. They just didn't work for me (now I know why they were on sale!).

Columbia Shorts
I love the Columbia shorts (or capris) as they keep you very comfortable while exercising via the wicking material. I generally buy up a size from normal jean sizing with Columbia as they fit just a little smaller. With the stretch waistband you could go either way and still be comfortable. My only critique is lack of rear pockets. The cargo pocket is fine for ID or a key but if you carry a phone you need to keep it sideways in a front pocket.

Very happy with this purchase.
I purchased the Women's Sandy River Cargo Short and am very satisfied with it. The package arrived promptly and is just what I wanted. Very high quality fabric which was light and moisture wicking. All stitching is double reinforced and the pockets have mesh at the back which is a nice touch. Smaller pockets on either side are useful for holding keys or change. The waist is expandable and the snap is easy to open and close. This is my second pair and I am planning to buy more in different colors. The colors do not fade and the fabric remains water-resistant even after multiple washes. I would definitely recommend the Sandy River Cargo shorts for outdoor activities or just hanging around the house. They are extremely comfortable and are now my "go-to" shorts for all occasions!

Cool and comfy
These shorts sit at your natural waist, which can be hard to find in this world of low-slung pants. The material dries quickly and the pockets are handy. I would buy another pair.

Nice shorts
Love the fabric, they are a little shorter than I thought but I am 5’8. They are really comfortable! Will be great for hiking trip! I wear size 12 shorts typically so wondered about sizing. (12-14) fits perfect, maybe little snug if you are a true 14.

Work Shorts
I work at Lowe’s and needed shorts. Found these in a store but not in the Deep Madeira color so I ordered those. These shorts fit great. The belt helps keep them fitted throughout the day. I love the colors and material and the extra pockets on the side. My only “complaint” is they don’t have back pockets. I have to carry a lot of things while at work and the lack of back pockets don’t help. Other than that, I love them. I have all colors.

stretchy-wide waist with smaller leg holes
I bought these shorts in every color since they're light weight and cool. I compared sizes 1x to 2x since my waist-line is big but settled on size 1x because the waist is supper stretchy and my legs aren't very broad. I removed the belt since the elastic takes care of keeping the shorts up. The fabric is perfect to resist staining and I plan on wearing them to our local Phillies ball park since these are cool and comfy.

Great shorts
These shorts have been my favorite for several years. This year I needed a smaller size & they fit great. Not only did I recommend them to a friend while on vacation, I brought a pair of my short for her to try on. Her comment to me when she returned my shorts was “I love them!” I even sent her the link to the website site so she could order the correct ones. They’re great, light weight, quick dry, & wear well for a long time.

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.

- I am not long waisted, but these fit a bit short in the crotch.
- Nice looking, belt adds to appeal

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.
