Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Plaid Shorts - Women's:
I live in these capris all summer! They wear like iron; I've washed them at least 25 times and have seen no wear and tear AT ALL! I've owned them for just over a year and think they are worth every penny--I ended up buying 5 pairs b/c they hold up after many washings, don't wrinkle and feel amazing on my very sensitive skin! I had to buy 1 size larger --and did that b/c the sales associate at my local REI told me that particular style ran small. I am usually a size 10 and a 12 is perfect! Loved them so much, I bought a pair for my sister!

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Plaid Shorts - Women's:
I bought a pair of these shorts last spring, and just bought a pair in another color yesterday. They are long enough for me to wear to work. But what I love the most is that they fit well. My hips and bottom are significantly larger than my waist size. Finding something to fit both areas is a challenge, unless I go for the elastic waist or drawstring waist. These shorts have a normal waist, and it fits there AND in the hips. I am a size 16. I would have thought that plaid would make my hips look even bigger. For whatever reason, they don't. Others have commented on them not holding up well. I have had no problem with that. They go in the washer and dryer.

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Plaid Shorts - Women's:
I bought these shorts and fell in love with them almost immediately. Super comfortable, perfect fit, just the right amount of stretch, and long enough to be warm weather work-appropriate in a more casual environment with a nice polo shirt. I have hips and the thighs of an Ironman, so I was happy that everything fit nicely. (If you're between sizes and have more shape on the bottom, I'd size slightly up.)
After a couple months of regular casual wear (daily wear, walking, short errand-style bike rides) later, the back pockets started to come unstitched. After several months, the fabric started to wear through, especially anywhere I might have rubbed or along seams. This was sooner than I hoped or even expected. Some reinforcement in the seams and areas where fabric may rub would make these 5 star worthy.
Because of how awesomely they fit I will probably buy them again, but probably not at full price. Wish I could give half stars, I'd probably go 3.5 - 4 seems generous, 3 seems low.

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Plaid Shorts - Women's:
A nearly perfect fit, these shorts are the right length and the right amount of stretch to be comfortable in all day long. They also look great and have pockets for everything, allowing me to not have to carry a purse! I would like several more in other colors.

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Plaid Shorts - Women's:
After wearing and washing these very cute shorts about 5 or 6 times, I figured they were winners and tossed the receipt. The other day someone pointed out to me that I was "busting out of my shorts." They fit perfectly so that was a shock. The material to the inside of the left front seam had pulled away and left a 2" opening. I am stuck with unwearable, unrepairable shorts. Shame on you Columbia! (My 1st negative review of these has not shown up on the rei website.)

Comments about Columbia Saturday Trail Stretch Plaid Shorts - Women's:
I bought these before it was warm enough to wear them. When I was able to use them, I was so happy with these shorts. They looked stylish, felt great, and I got lots of compliments. So sad that today, after washing and wearing them several times in the last 2 months, the fabric split away from the seam on the front left side. Don't have my receipt - tossed it because I felt sure they were OK and I'd get much more use out of them. They fit perfectly. I'm not a happy camper!!

These shorts are so amazing I hardly know I'm wearing them. They are ultra comfortable and cute as can be plus I used my 20% coupon to make them even better. I love the magenta zip on the leg and the secure clasping with snaps. They look great with magenta or aqua or navy. I normally wear a 6 and I got them in an 8. The 6 was too small. The fabric is very soft and should be great with hot weather. The legs are not as tight as the Mountain Hardwear leg. I loved them so much I googled to find other colors and did find them.

These are so cute! I am slender in the hips and they fit perfectly! They have some nice stretch, so they might work for women with fuller hips as well. They are lightweight and comfortable!
