[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased these shorts not really knowing what to expect. I am a big fan of the backcast III Columbia water shorts so I decided to mix things up a little. I started out using these shorts for the lake and beach but I have found that they work for pretty much everything from walking the dog to hitting the gym. True to size, great quality and very durable. My favorite feature is how they dry so fast which works out great when I'm boating. I plan on purchasing more colors. These will probably turn into my go to shorts for the summer. Also, I'm 6'3 240 and I purchased the Large size. They fit great !
I bought three in the last 12 months and with a use of just 10 times per pants the seams broke, a disappointment given the quality of Columbia products
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is particular about his clothing, so I took a chance on these shorts, after reading previous reviews. As soon as I gave them to him, he wore them on his bike ride! When he came back he said that the shorts were excellent. He said they were lightweight, comfortable and dried quickly. He has worn them many times since then for other activities as well as just “lounging”. He wants more!!! Thank you Columbia! My husband weighs 235 pounds and is 6’2”.
These shorts are super comfortable and suitable for just about any weather. The material is soft and dries quickly. The inside of the pockets are mesh which help keep you cool without holding moisture and the fact that there is no liner is the best feature. I am 5’8 and these shorts sit right at the top of my knee. I was so satisfied with this style that I bought two pair each in black, gray, and blue.
I read all the reviews carefully before making my decision to purchase. Bought two pairs, couldn't be happier. Love the material, fit perfectly as hoped for, wear them daily it seems because of the comfort. Good deep pockets and a well constructed waist band. I'm a 38 waist and the large is a perfect fit. Will be buying more.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I now have 4 pairs of these shorts in different colors. They are so light weight and cool for the Summer heat. They are somewhat water repellant, and dry quickly. The elastic waist band and roomy build make them great for lounging around the house, but also look good enough to be worn away from the house. Great product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfort, etc. is the Columbia standard at this point. No need to comment. Foremost, these are the most versatile shorts I've ever owned. I've been around the house, kayaking, and running in these since the COVID era. I may pick up one or two more pair. I like too they rest above the knee.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will not buy any other shorts from now on, these are the most comfortable shorts and great for summer. They’re not quite the material of the swim shorts but they’re waterproof still and quick to dry. I never write reviews if that explains how much I love these shorts.
I bought these a couple of years ago. I use them for tennis. Difficult to find tennis shorts that have some length, and are not low rise. These fit the bill. Not all seniors belong in short skirts, or short-shorts. Please make them in white. I am a 63 year old female.
[Employee of columbia] Great shorts for warm weather. Perfect combination of lightweight, stretch, water repellent/quick dry and comfort. After purchasing my first pair, I went back and bought this in all colors. Perfect for active outdoor use when very hot.
