Love These Shorts!

I absolutely love these shorts. I have several colors and have worn them for years. They do not seem to ever show any wear, and don't fade. I like the deep front pockets, the zippered back pocket, and the belt loops which are handy for clipping on keys or a sunglass case. I hope Colombia will continue to offer this style in years to come.

Rough Uncomfortable Shorts

These shorts are made of a rough, loud material. I bought usual size small, but they run a bit small. The shorts are not comfortable at all and I would recommend trying on before buying. I had to return them because I know I can find much better Columbia shorts. Quality was good, just too rough to be walking around in and have next to my skin.

Columbia Shorts

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fitting shorts. Water resistant for activities.

Sizing Way Off.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased 3 pairs of these in size Small. Each pair was sized so differently that two of them had to be returned. They are great shorts for summer, but please get the sizing consistent!!!!!!

Excellent Hot Weather Hiking Shorts

I just wore these for a hike and I might need to order more. Side pockets big enough to drop in my phone and not worry about losing it, lightweight and cool but feel durable, and the sizing is true. I'm planning on wearing these backpacking in the Grand Canyon next month and I think they're going to be exactly what I needed.

Comfortable, Coverage, And Quick Drying!

I bought these a few weeks ago for a day at a waterpark, and they were perfect! I knew it was going to be hot and a lot of walking, so I wanted more coverage than usual. They dried so fast! Both of my friends were shocked at how well they worked. And Alex at the Ridgeland store was so helpful with finding what would work best for me! I’ll definitely be getting more!

Versatile Shorts!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shorts. I bought two of them - one in black and one in cypress. I walk my dog a lot, go hiking, and also do watersports, such as kayaking etc. I knew I needed a versatile pair of shorts for all those activities and so far these have lived up to these standards. The size fit great, too.

Perfect Board Shorts

I bought these for kayaking in. The zipper pocket is a great feature and the 5in inseam is definitely needed.

Columbia Backcast Water Short

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the comfortable fit I have with these shorts, I own three pair now.

Comfy But They Stain

I love these BUT they got stains all over them for no apparent reason!

Good Material

A little tight on the thighs, butt and crotch area.. Followed the size guide but I must be the exception. Other than that, they did stretch out a little after an extra hot wash. The material is quick drying but does make a funny sound when you walk lol

My Second Pair!

I love these shorts! Deep pockets that hold my cell, long enough so there’s no riding up when I bike, lightweight and breathable fabric that keeps the sweat away from my skin. Good price and size is on point.

Great Shorts, See-through

Liked the fit and the color but the light green was totally see-through.
