Poor Quality

Arrived early this month and, on the third wearing, the waist button fell apart. Shorts now unusable.

Disappointed

2 months ago

Well I needed to order some new shorts because of weight loss. I have owned your Sliver Ridge Cargo Shorts for years. First of all I am ok with pocket changes but as some others have mentioned has no velcro on the back pockets. Secondly I really don’t care for the 11/2” belts are to wide and to stiff! If I keep em those belts are gone. Would use a 11/4” military web belt or thinner . Lastly your sizer is way off! It told me I needed to order 38” waist. But my gut told me to order 40” instead. Man I am glad I that I did!

Needs more belt loops

10 months ago

I have an older version of these shorts but the design is still pretty much the same. The workmanship and design is mostly great. The material is light and good for lots of activities. Where it falls apart is the belt loops. There needs to be more of them. If you put anything in your front pockets, they sag because there isn’t a belt loop holding them up above the pocket. It’s very irritating when just putting a phone in my pocket makes the waistline fall an inch or so below the belt.

Great Shorts... horrible pockets

1 year ago

Shorts fit great. (34w) Really like the light weight material for when we travel in hot and humid climates. 8" inseam is just right. But the pockets are horrible for travel. I like to keep my wallet and phone in my front pockets, but they are so shallow my phone is sticking out. For wearing around town, they aren't much better. My wallet fell out of the right back pocket at a restaurant. Please Columbia.... How much would it take to make the front pockets a few inches deeper?

Many Years my Favorite shorts but now....

2 years ago

i have been wearing this shorts in 36x10 for many years now. i buy one or two a year and still have my oldest pair. they are light and dry very fast so i can use them when fishing or boating and they work great as a bathing suit. this year i ordered two more pair and they are tight in the waist. first thought was i got fat but nope. my old ones fit just as i remember and they are not all the same age so its this years batch that is 1/4" tight. its a bummer.

Comfortable, but...

1 year ago

Bought these for hiking and everyday use. Like the shorts, very comfortable but I do have one gripe...the shorts always come loose at the waist button when the need comes to unzip. Either the button hole is too large, or the button is too small. But whatever the reason, its always comes undone at the most inopportune time. So much so that I finally donated my two pairs to the local Goodwill. Can't recommend them.Mike

Happy but not with hand pockets

1 year ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My past purchase, long ago, was the Utility Convertible Pants and generally used them as shorts and I wanted some new ones but only as shorts. The new Silver Ridge cargo shorts have made a few improvements such as the no-twisting wider belt, although harder to buckle. My only complaint is the hand pockets (where I like to keep my cell phone) are not deep enough and the phone could easily fall out when sitting down.

Side Pockets Way Too Shallow! Please Fix Them.

1 year ago

Luv 'em, hate 'em. I bought a pair of the Silver Ridge Cargo Shorts about a month ago. I love the fit, the light-weight (but rugged material), the adjustable belt. But I hate the shallow side pockets. WHY? Quality Control missed the boat. I would like buy several more pairs of these...as soon as the depth of the side pockets is fixed. Please let me know when that happens.

Vertical zip on cargo pockets should be horizontal

1 week ago

Why did the designer change the horizontal zip on the side pocket to a useless vertical zip thereby ruining a previously great product? Seriously Columbia please revert to the previous design and better still put a zip on both of the cargo pockets. The zip stopped pickpockets stealing from me on vacation. But the new vertical zip is of no use.

Helpful?

New design less functional

1 year ago

I've been wearing these shorts for years and was ready for a new pair. The new design eliminated the flaps on the rear pockets and the zipper on the zippered side pocket is vertical not horizontal. So items fall out when unzipped and makes the pocket more difficult to access. I have no idea who thought these changes were an upgrade. I returned them.
