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!

Perfect summer wear
These shorts are a perfect fit! Great for golf as far as comfort. They’re cool on hot, muggy days! They have deep pockets and a small zipper pocket, too. Overall a great buy!!

Great Summer shorts for active person
The shorts fit great, easy to wash & drip dry on vacation. Belt is only thing I don't like. The conector isn't very good, comes undone to easily.

Great summer short
Shorts are comfortable, perfect for hot weather on the lake. Love the multiple pockets. I first ordered the color Camellia Red, then ordered the Nocturnal blue. Wish there were more color choices.

These are the perfect all around outdoor shorts. Comfortable enough to wear all day. I’ve worn for everything from hiking to scuba diving. Must have for any active outdoor lifestyle.

Women’s Sandy River™ Cargo Short
Fits perfect and the length is great. I have been wearing Columbia shorts for over 15 years and never disapponted. I normal wear a medium but want a little room so I bought a Large.

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

This is my second pair and I love them!
Light weight, comfortable, easy to travel (which I do a lot). I'm planning on keep buying these shorts as long as they make them. I would love to see more colors thought.

Comfortable shorts
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

Nice shorts, but....
Nice shorts, but the legs are too flared (wide) for my taste. There's around 4" of empty leg if I hold the hem of a leg out to the side, making them a bit skirt-like. I have normal-sized legs (not skinny).

Had to have more
I love these shorts. I started with two pairs and just ordered two more. They are comfortable and flattering. The 6" length is just right to make your legs look good. The fabric breathes and dries really quickly. The xsmall fits just right (112 pounds, 5'6"). The range of colors means you can get shorts to match virtually any top. Like most Columbia products, the quality is great they are worth the investment.

Comfy shorts
These shorts are a comfortable fit and light weight. They dry quickly if caught in the rain or worn by the water. The one drawback is the depth of the pockets. I wish they were a tad deeper like the old Columbia shorts. I now have one of each of the available colors so a few new colors would be nice...Like a lighter blue and a gray.

Love these shorts!
At first I Purchased these in a size large and they were borderline too big. (Im trying to loose weight so I wasnt sure if the large would fit). I ordered a medium and they fit just right!
I am 5’6” and 144lbs
I love the material, they are moisture wicking and if they do get wet, they dry quickly. They are light weight and I like the small zippered pocket at the bottom , which is just the right size for a credit card. They are very comfortable too.

Very pleased!
This cargo short was perfect for me. It’s a light material and has a upf of 30. I’m self-conscious of my thighs and actually used the cargo shorts as a bathing suit bottom cover up (I had a one piece on). The nylon material was so light and allowed the shorts to dry quickly. Of course, I’ve used the cargo shorts for it’s normal use - walking around town too and the blue color gives it a dressy look. I definitely recommend!

Best Columbia Shorts!
These shorts are quality made and fit perfectly. I love the elastic waist which makes them super comfortable. The length is perfect, not too short, not too long. They wash easily and can be hung or dried in drier. They dry quickly! I LOVE these shorts and have bought 3 pair!

Perfect fit
I ordered two shorts one in navy blue & one in beige. I received my order well before the date as indicated on my order.
I like the material, color & it fits perfectly. I ordered xsmall. I
love the belt which is included, the two front pockets & side zipper pocket for personal items that I can use anytime I am out running or walking in our neighborhood.

Yes!
Got these to replace a similar pair of Columbia water shorts that are probably 20 years old - I kid you not! These fit nicely, look great on and are just what I need over a bathing suit for kayaking, boating, etc. I'd say the sizing is pretty accurate. I usually wear an 8-10 in pants as I'm 5'4", ~120 lbs and thick-waisted. Bought these in medium and they are just right - not too tight, not too big (said Goldilocks). Just wish they had these in some brighter colors.

Sandy River Cargo Short
This is a great short. The fabric is lightweight and very comfortable. The length and fit is good and allows for easy movement. The belt adds a nice touch but could be worn without it. I would like pants styled like this.

Cargo shorts need big pockets
The colors are great, both the dark blue and the tusk.
I found them so loose in the back of the thigh that I took in a seam.
There are no back pockets, the side pockets on the thighs are very small, as in credit card size, but the two hip pockets do hold a smartphone

love Columbia shorts
I've been a Columbia shorts woman for many years. I still have shorts from 25 years ago that have been made into yard shorts as they are finally beginning to look worn. I live in the south and practically live in shorts. My only request is to please go back to bigger cargo pockets for women. You use to make them many many years ago. Our phones have gotten bigger but your cargo pockets have gotten smaller over the years and I hate carrying a purse.

These shorts are good for beach-light weight and dry quickly. They were a little tight for large-And I would like a little longer inseam but have had trouble finding the length I want. Would have ordered another pair if they were just a little longer.

Big in waist
According to the size chart, the waist in size L is for @32". My waist is 34, yet these shorts gap around the waist. The included belt helps with that, but I would prefer if the belt were elastic instead of web, and I would prefer not to need a belt. Otherwise they fit well, and seem to be of good quality so I will keep them.

Long waisted? Not for you!
I'm 5'6", 125 lbs and long waisted. Small is the size I needed, but it was too short in the rise. I had a wedgie from the start. If I ordered a medium, the shorts would have been too large everywhere else.

Nice pair of shorts
These run a bit small. I wear size 12 and they're good, but not if I was a 14. They are a nice, cool fabric and will be good for hiking, amusement parks etc. They fit better than the Sandy River shorts that aren't cargo. The crotch is a little uncomfortable when sitting, however.

They were a little big when I first got them but I may have just gotten too large a size. They were still super comfy and fit well even though they were a little bit! These shorts are great for doing everything in from hiking to lounging around. They are now one of my favorite pairs of shorts.
