    Great Shorts For Fishing And Hiking

    Love the zippers and light weight great length for fishing

    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!!! 😢

    Ruined

    These used to be great shorts. Now they suck. They got rid of the extra side pocket and the front pockets are so deep that if you put anything in them the white mesh pocket hangs below the bottom of the leg. Whoever made these decisions should rot in hades. I have spoken!

    Terrific Product And Not Just For In The Water

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are great for in the water but also just around the house, in the yard, playing golf, etc. I have about 6 or 7 pairs and love them all.

    Great Pair Of Shorts

    These Columbia shorts have a wide leg for those who enjoy leg day at the gym. Also with the pockets and inner liner you can go from the beach to a casual outing. Very comfortable shorts. I own 6 pair.

    No Phone Pocket

    I bought Backcast III in the past and it had a phone pocket - the Backcast IV does not and I am very disappointed. Last year I contacted Columbia and asked them to make the phone pocket larger - I guess they just eliminated it. They should let people know there is no phone pocket.

    Same As Above.

    I like my swimsuit. However, I was not told the truth about the extra pocket on the right rear side which is just the right size for a cellphone. This pocket was on the earlier same swimsuits, but was not on these. I was told on the phone that the pocket was here.
