One of the Best shorts I have ever owned.

Rating:*****
I have been wearing this style short for at least 10 years. It is great when fishing. I wear them all the time. I love the light weight material. I work outside 95% of the day and weather I am sweating or wet from the rain. the material help keep me comfortable. I will continue to buy these shorts as long as I can.

Everyday Essential shorts

Rating:*****

Have several pair of light weight cargo shorts that I'm wearing out. Got two pair if these and found the perfect replacements. Light weight for all types of activity and good looking to boot. Multi use is terrific as I live in them all summer. Have to buy more as they were hard to find.

Great water shorts!!!

Rating:*****

I've been looking for a pair of water shorts for a while and I could not be happier with these shorts. They dry very fast and are comfortable. I'm quickly becoming a big fan of Columbia for all my outdoor gear!

Very Impressed with the quality of the product

Rating:*****
This is my third purchased from Altrec and I'm very satisfied with the product and customer service provided. These are awesome shorts - my son has been wearing them for 9 years.

great shorts

Rating:****
great shorts for hot weather and frolicking in the water. I had to re-sew the belt to take out a bunch of the elastic that made the belt useless

Good Shorts

Rating:*****
Well built. Good fit. Sizes are accurate. No dryer shrink. No color bleed or fade. Good pockets (prefer columbia snake river pockets, but these are good also).

Great Lastng Shorts

Rating:*****

Comfortable to do everything from swimming, hiking, or just wearing as everyday shorts. You really can't go wrong with these shorts or any of Columbia products.

Negative Reviews:

Too Long

Rating:*

TOTAL WORTHLESS SHORTS MADE FOR THE HOOD BUT NOT THE OUTDOORS. These shorts are way to long for outdoor sports and hiking. Pockets are down by my knees! Also, I like sun on my legs. PLEASE bring back the Columbia Snake River Shorts that are or were the best shorts made for the outdoors! They were just the right length.

Neutral Reviews:

Good for swimming, but color not as shown

Rating:***

I use these for swimming, and I like them because they fit well and have convenient zippered pockets. My complaint is the color: the "stone" is a very yellowish beige, nothing like what is shown here.
