    No Side Pocket & Pockets Too Long. Go Back To Orig

    Columbia should go back to the original design. These use to be my favorite shorts along with many other customers but not anymore. Why fix something that isnt broke? Very disappointing because I have been wearing the backcast shorts for over 20 years and Im afraid they have lost another customer. There is no longer a side pocket, the front pockets are too deep and hang past the bottom of the shorts if you have anything in them.

    Sun Protection, Belt Loops, 6" Inseam

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I first found these shorts several years ago through a retail store and have afterwards bought them online. The perfect features are: 6" inseam, belt loops, no fly, and choice of colors. As described, sun protection, fast drying, and stain resistent. Inseam length is ideal for us on the shorter side. Tough fabric excellent for chores and keeping others on hand for going out. Just all around perfect.

    Pfg Backcast Run Big

    These run large by quite a bit. I wear a size 38 which puts me into the XL based on the sizing chart but I almost can't tighten them enough with the draw string

    Good But Could Be Better

    Quality if shorts is good. But I wish the fit was more slim. Length is good but they are very baggy and a wide leg shirt

    Great Hybrid Short

    Beware!

    Beware: these shorts are so baggy, I would not recommend swimming in them. The moment you get in the pool, the short legs will ride up to your waist exposing your netted nethers to anyone with goggles on. They’re not even that comfortable outside of the water because they’re just sooo baggy

    Very Comfortable

    I love these for swimming. The color has not faded and they still look new . Had several comments on how they look.

    Great Swimsuit!

    My son got this about 2 weeks ago and loves the suit. He said it is very light weight, dries quickly, and is very comfortable.

    Great Feature Gone

    I have bought a number of PFG shorts for the last 20+ years. The craftsmanship is good and the durability excellent. However, one feature I liked was the side pocket that I could put my phone in. The last three pair that I purchased did not have that feature and looking at the current pictures does not show that pocket feature. There are reasons for redesign, but in this case you have lost a lifetime customer!!! 😢
