nice !
These are the first shorts I've gotten from Columbia. Very nice. I'm 5'4" 130 pounds. M fit perfectly without being too big. They will be perfect for the boat, beach, hiking. Leg holes aren't too big, but they are breezy because of the fabric. Material is thin so will dry quickly.

Great Active Shorts
These shorts are the perfect material for summer activities and for work, if you are an aquarist or a zookeeper. They are stretchy and dry quickly.
I will say they are not even a little flattering on me. They have a pretty wide leg, which is what I like about them, so long as I don't look in the mirror. It is fine by me though, the functionality is excellent. My only wish is that they had back pockets.

Perfect Shorts
The Nocturnal color is nice but the stitching is white which was a little strange at first. They still look great on and fit excellently. The added belt is nice since you can use it for more than just the shorts!

Nice go-to shorts
I bought these shorts for casual weekend wear. I've discovered they are great for hiking, traveling, and just lounging around the house. I ended up buying several more pairs because I found I was wearing them so often.

Keep you dry
These shorts are so versatile, I wear them to work as a bartender at a high volume cafe on the beach in SC. I am always wet as I rinse and repeat with the blenders all day. These shorts dry quickly and look great.. They move when I do and are never confining. I wear them kayaking in Murrells Inlet. Again they dry quickly. They are never hot or steamy. They breathe. I originally bought them for Scouting as I am a Boy Scout Mom. These have been my favorite shorts this year.

Finally... shorts that truly do it all!
I have recently lost over 100 pounds, and have been completely rebuilding my wardrobe from top to bottom. I'm finally comfortable in shorts, so I went on a quest for the perfect ones. Something casual, but not TOO casual. Something comfortable and the right length. Something in multiple colors that I could truly wear with anything. Enter the Sandy River Cargo Short! The elastic waist coupled with a snap/zip closure gives the perfect combination of comfort and style. They aren't sports shorts, but they aren't dress shorts. That perfect middle ground that can be worn with a tee, or a nicer top. The fabric is so light and cool, that they would be great even on the hottest days. The 6" inseam isn't too short or too long, and hits just right. And, if that weren't enough, they also have great pockets, and come with an adjustable belt. I bet they'll even be great for wearing the water, and will dry quickly. Seriously need these in every color, and probably won't wear much else! So glad I found these!!

Almost perfect
These fit great, are the perfect length, and are pretty great for warm weather. The only thing I wish it had differently was a zippered pocket on the butt! Other than that they’re perfect!

Multi-Utility Shorts
I rarely write reviews, only when things are excellent or awful. I bought a pair of these shorts years ago to wear on a kayak trip. They are breathable and dry quickly and have pockets. I found myself wearing them when I take walks to hold my phone and keys, when I mow the lawn and want to stay cool, whenever I want to be casual and have pockets!
I figured it was high time I bought more in different colors, so here we are! Thank you Columbia for making them.

LOVE theses shorts
I bought a pair of these shorts at an outlet when I was on a vacation and wanted a quick drying short. I loved them so much I bought one in ever color. They fit great and are super lightweight. The pockets are deep so things don't risk falling out. I highly recommend these shorts!

Great length
I ordered these shorts in several colors since they were on sale. I wasn't sure which size would fit best, (5'7" and 185lbs) so I ordered size L and XL. The L was a snug fit while the XL was a bit loose. I kept the XL since I could just pull them on without bothering with the zipper and snaps. I agree with other reviewers that the belt is not needed. I like the 6 inch length and also the quick drying material. The only complaint I have is that the cargo pockets are too small and the side pockets are too shallow to carry a phone.

Really Nice
These shorts are very nice. I bought them last year in blue and this year in madeira and green. I like the belts too. The length is perfect not too long and not too short. The wider leg makes legs looks thinner.

Super Comfortable!
I bought these shorts for a safari in Kenya and began wearing them well before the trip. They are super comfortable, have loads of pockets, and feel great! I strongly recommend them. I haven't washed them yet but the material is so light, I'm sure they'll wash well and air dry quickly - great for hiking/traveling.

okay if sized correctly
A basic short that if they had fit would be fine for casual hikes or weekend errands. I'm usually a medium (5'10 ~ 135#) and the medium size is so large it could slip over my hips without the belt on.

Women’s Sandy River™ Cargo Short
First time I bought it, it runs a bit big for me because I have slim legs and not really a wide hip lady. It will fit with my other Colombia brand t-shirts, very comfortable. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

I have one pair of these that I took on a cruise to Asia earlier in the year. They are very comfortable and dry quickly. When I saw them on sale, I ordered the Cypress, Nocturnal and Deep Madiera. I'm planning a cruise to the Panama Canal and these will be the staple of my traveling clothes. They are a great buy!

FABULOUS shorts!!
These shorts are oh so fabulous! The fit is flattering, yet roomy enough for a comfortable non-binding fit. The fabric dries very quickly if it gets wet. The pockets are an excellent feature, including a zipper pocket on the side. Functionality, style, and fit are all superb. I highly recommend these shorts!

Runs small
Based on Columbia’s measurements and other clothes I’ve worn from them, I’m a true size 14. The size L fits very snug around waist and hip. So much that I would not be comfortable wearing them, not sure if I will return or exchange. Otherwise appears to be great quality.

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.

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.

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!
