Perfect
These shorts are perfect in xxs for my skinny average height 5 year old! I have had the hardest time finding shorts to fit him that the length doesn’t end up past his knee looking goofy...these hit above the knee and are loose but not too big in the waist so he will probably be able to where these for 2 years before going up in size! Win! I bought 5 colors and will probably end up with more bc they can be dressed up or down so can’t ask for better! I will say I cut the “underwear” out of them bc he’s not wearing them for swim and didn’t want to hear him complain about it bothering him.
The best shorts!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All three of my boys love these shorts they fit great and look great. They even wear them for their uniform for school. There school requires no outside pockets and these check all the boxes and they are easy on and easy off. Highly recommend them!!!!
Lightweight and comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and appropriate for school uniform for my 1st grader. They don’t feel like uniform clothes so my son doesn’t mind wearing them outside of school even.
Great swim shorts
We have had owned these swim shorts last summer and this summer again for my 2 boys. We have 4 different colors. My boys absolutely love them. They are a great fit and excellent quality. We would still be wearing ours from last summer if my boys had not grown so much! ☺️ Only small complaint are the pockets. As soon as they get in the water, the pockets hang out. Not a huge deal and doesn’t keep us from buying them, but I do wish they could do something to fix that. That’s the only reason I didn’t give these 5 stars. You won’t be disappointed in them, though.
Great shorts run a little large
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 almost 6 year old (thin build, above average height - he weighs 45lbs for reference) had a pair of these shorts gifted to him in size XS and we love them! I went to order several pairs and sized up to a S since the XS was getting a little too small. The S shorts arrived and were HUGE! I’m not sure if the XS pair we had was sized incorrectly but the S would definitely fit an 8 year old. I kept the shorts anyway since he can always grow into them and ordered several pairs of the XXS size to see if those will work. The fabric is great for spring/summer because dries quickly and perfect for kids. Comes with a mesh liner almost like a swimsuit so really could double as a swimsuit if need be. High quality product just need to figure out sizing :)
Dad review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As the father of two very active little boys columbia clothing have proven themselves well worth the price time and time again. We are a family that love outdoor activities like camping, boating and fishing and these shorts are the way to go. Quick to dry so they can transition from swimming straight into running around at the campsite. My boys are slim so finding clothes that actually fit so they aren’t tugging at their waist all day can be a challenge. Again, Columbia for the win.
Cute AND functional!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect summer shorts! Great fit, great price, and perfect to play in. Comfortable and lined like swim trunks so I can let my little one play on/in any terrain and I don’t worry about it. They are above the knee shorts (right above the knee on my 4 year old, so next year they should be the perfect length) - which are our favorite! My son just turned 4 and weighs about 40 lbs and I ordered the XXS. They should last us this summer and next!
Never stop making these! Amazing!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Columbia, these are perfection...for sports, summer, anything. The fit, the quality, choice of colors (boys love colors, too!). My twins are 10, both are 55in tall. One is very skinny 63lbs with a long femur and the Medium is perfect. The other is 84lbs and built more average. He needs the Large. I love that the shorts don’t go past their knees. They are truly perfect.
Great summer short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered the Youth Large for my son. He is tall for his age but very slender. I was pleased that the elastic waist fit him and very pleased to see that there was a drawstring in the waist. We have friends who have this short who are thicker in the waist so the shorts fit all kinds. He was thrilled because they double as swim trunks. We got 2 colors, navy and red.
My sons favorite shorts!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second year of my son wearing these shorts and they are great. Quick drying so great for water or just wearing. They have not faded and have no signs of wear. And he has worn them a lot. They are a couple of inches above his knee which I love so great for those looking for shorter length shorts.
