Great shorts
Shorts are extremely comfortable. They are so good looking that you can wear them just about anywhere after you have worn them to feed the chickens and do the chores. Colors are great. All in all it was a smart purchase on my part and an excellent product on yours. Thank you!

Color choice is awesome!
The belt is very comfortable and lightweight like the shorts. I like the way they feel on my skin wet or dry.

Favorite shorts for water activities
I wore these shorts for three days straight when I participated in the mr340, a three day, 340 mile race on the Missouri River. I loved them so much I bought a second pair. Lots of pockets and comfortable and quick drying.

Great outdoor/water lightweight packable shorts
These shorts are a great length and fabric for outdoor activities, allowing for a great range of movement and high-waisted UPF coverage. They fit true to size. The snap belt is unnecessary given the firmness of the waist elastic. They hold up great in the wash and dry quickly; unfortunately they've proven slightly less stain resistant than I was hoping (I spilled a bit of oil and paint) given the stellar performance of other Columbia products.

Awesome Shorts
These run true to size, though I bought the next size up (an XL) to make them a little loose and comfortable. I have four pairs, so obviously I like them. I wore them almost every week all summer, for work, hiking, and traveling. They are lightweight but don't feel cheap, very breathable, and dry really quickly if they get wet or after washing. They are perfect for hot summer days when you're sweating and don't want to wear heavy clothes, and they also dry quickly from the sweat when hiking.

I love these shorts
I absolutely love these shorts, I also have two other pair in a very similar style. The material is breathable, doesn't wrinkle easily, and washes very well. The length is just right, they don't look too skimpy or too frumpy. I got an extra small, I'm about 5'2" and 103 lbs. They are light weight and hardly take any room up when packing. The best!

Great for casual outdoor sports and around town.
These lightweight,loose fitting shorts are perfect for summer day hikes and kayaking. The generous leg openings mean no binding when clambering over rocks or scrunching up your legs because your Vizsla wants to sit in the kayak cockpit with you. And they dry fast after said Viszla decides to jump in the lake and soaks you. The color is a nice neutral and goes with a t and fleece for casual dinner.

I wear these shorts kayaking and the fabric, length and overall fit are fine, but they really need secure side pockets.

I am a little old for the length of these shorts. But for the quality and the price, I decided to keep them. I bought 2 colors and I really like them. They are quality and lightweight. Great for those hot summer days!

Could be awesome......
1. Would be nice if shorts were 2 - 3 inches longer
2. You need to design better pockets. Need a secure pocket to hold a cell phone and a zip pocket that cn hold a wallet.
3. Don't be sexist.....why do you design the men's shorts with better pocket design, but not for women?

comfy pull-on lightweight and quick-dry
super comfy shorts for water activities (or just for hot days). I am usually between S/M but got a Small because of the elastic waistband and these fit nicely and comfortably, even without the belt.

I have been trying to find shorts that would fit all occassons. These shorts are perfect! They fit nice, look great. If you want to use for while paddle boarding they dry quick. News ago I bought some Columbia Sports shorts simaler but could never find them again until I came across these. I love them so much I bought 5 pair.

Eh-The shorts are high waisted and scratchy in the waist against the skin. I couldn't stand to have them on for more than a minute. Wasn't worth the money to send back so off to the good will. I usually wear a size 8 to 10 in pants and had purchased the medium.

Perfect shorts for summer!
These cargo shorts are lightweight, super comfortable, and run true to size. I ordered 2 pairs, one black and the other khaki, and loved them so much that I ordered 2 more pair. They were on sale, which made it even better! This is the perfect short for active walking and hiking.

Not exciting, but comfortable
These are shorts I will probably wear often because they are comfortable and lightweight. The style is rather boring, but oftentimes comfort wins over style. I have slim hips and usually wear a size 8. I bought a size Medium, and they fit perfectly.

It's my second pair! Love them for everyday wearing. Hope there'll be longer versions like 8'' or 10'' inseam. 6'' is great for outdoors, but a bit shorter for office.

My Favorite Shorts!
These are some of my favorite shorts! They do run a little big. I normally wear a small and had to purchase an XS. However, this pair does actually fit tighter than the XS pair that I bought in store. Kinda odd but still love them!

Great shorts!
I had these shorts in three colors in size medium. Thanks to Weight Watchers and hard work, I have lost a bit of weight and now I fit in size small. I ordered all the colors for myself and 2 pairs for my daughter. The shorts are practical, easy to wash and quick to dry. They also look nice. PS I bought them at a great sale price. I will be checking out the Columbia website often.

Nice Weight
I intend to use these shorts for swimming. I am 5'5" and 142lbs and bought the size L. They fit perfectly. I haven't used them yet but they are just what I wanted. I have an omni shield top that I swim/snorkel in and these will be perfect bottoms. They are a bit shorter than I prefer, I wish they were longer, but they will work for what I need them for.

Shorts fit well. The elastic in the waist is nice. I got the fossil color which is a tan but wish they came in the pretty hot pink that I was replacing. The length of the shorts is good with no ride up when sitting. Good mesh pockets.

Practical shorts for any hot outdoor activity
They were great on my 2 week trip to Zion National Park in mid-August (yes, the heat is just as bad as you would imagine!). These shorts were one of two pairs I brought on the trip (the other pair was Columbia's Women's Anytime Long Short in Grey). These were perfect for the trails, with large pockets and quick dry material. Great purchase if it's hot out! For sizing purposes, I am 5'11", about 145 lbs and ordered a 6. They were pretty true to size, but is designed to be a little larger and not cling.

too short
These are great shorts , alas they are way too short for a more mature lady. Just needed to be a tad longer. Years ago (still love them) I purchased a pair of shorts from your store, the belt has broken and cannot be replaced. I was looking for the same style. Then I bought a "small" and it was rather large, here I bought a 'medium' and they are too small, not long enough and not enough inseam to be comfortable. Rather than return them, I gave them away.

I bought one pair a while back and LOVED them so much that I bought 3 more! I wear them everywhere in Florida because the moisture wicking is so amazing in the humidity! They are great for hiking, rock climbing, kayaking and more!

Shorts fit great. I haven't used them hiking yet but I like the small zippered pocket to put money or ID/Cards in it without fear of falling out. Other pockets are useful as well. Very comfortable when I've wore them walking around.

I purchased these shorts to wear on summer vacation where I'll be outdoors a lot in hot weather, and they are perfect. The light, quick drying material is great for humid summer days, and the elastic waistband is very comfortable. Highly recommend these shorts.

This are very lightweight shorts. The 6 inch leg makes them slightly shorter than most shorts but they seem to work just fine. I like the material and weight. Will take them traveling. I recommend.
