These shorts are cool, comfortable and very useful. They fit well. The zip pocket keeps my key secure and there is plenty of pocket space for other items. All my other walking shorts are gone since I discovered these.

Size runs a little large, but I love these shorts. So comfortable, I will be buying more of these.

I bought these as a cheaper substitute to Patagonia's baggies and they delivered. They are lighter weight, more comfortable and have a pocket that zips. They're great!

Liked my first purchase, so ordered another pair of these shorts. Not too long, or too short. Also cool in our hot Texas summers.

My wife has purchased these shorts before and continues to like them. They wear well and are made well. The only thing she would like to see changed is to make the inseam available in different lengths. She is tall so a 6" inseam leaves a lot of leg exposed. Also it would be great if the pockets were more functional as opposed to being a decorative item.

I love these shorts! These are perfect for any outdoor activity. They are comfortable and very appropriate to wear to baseball games, to golf, and also to hike. These are my second pair and I will most likely get more. I have tried others that are similar, but keep coming back to these because they are the best in fitting me.

I haven't been able to carry a purse for years so I need to have shorts that have pockets. These fit the bill but would love to see the cargo pocket have a wider zipper so I could put my cell phone in it. I now have almost every color. These are my one and only go to shorts for the summer.

I bought the shorts for my wife. She loves them. She said they are made of extremely light and thin material - perfect for hiking and biking in the hot weather.

Love these shorts, they are comfortable, and dry quickly. There is a total of 4 pockets, two with zippers, while not as large as pockets in cargo shorts still functional. While they geared toward areas with water, I still use them for short hikes.

These river cargo shorts are just right in weight, fabric, and length for me, they are exactly what I was looking for to use in misc water sports I'll be involved in this coming summer. I purchased the lychee color that is a soft coral, a nice sunny color that will go with almost anything.

I really enjoy wearing the Women's Sandy River Cargo Short. They are very comfortable and are great for traveling...lightweight with pockets that give added security in those crowded tourist areas. I like them so much I'm contemplating purchasing more in different colors.

I have maybe 5-6 pair of Sandy River Cargo Shorts & LOVE every pair.. I can wear them all day, & I do! Easy on & easy off - wear beautifully & never wrinkles or loses shape! The only thing I'm not fond of is the belt clasp...too hard to manage sometimes! But 99% happy with all of my Sandy River's!!!

I'm so finicky about shorts. They just don't seem to fit and they're hardly ever comfortable. I absolutely wouldn't think of wearing shorts hiking UNTIL I found these shorts. They are better than my hiking skirts, pants, and skorts. They are thin, they wick sweat, snap and zipper closure, belt if you need it, the BEST. I have ordered two colors and will probably duplicate some colors just to have more of these shorts. Wonderful. I wear a M, 5'6", 140 pounds.

I got these for my adventure team at work. We run kayak tours, hikes, biking, canoeing, camping, summer camp and anything else outside! Everyone LOVES these shorts, they are durable, actually repell water, dry super quick, and look professional.

I had bought a pair years ago and love them so I decided to look online to purchase more, I like the lightness of material they are great to wear for just about anything you might want to do: )

Hi love these shorts - I tried these shorts on in a store and found I was able to fit into a smaller size because they ran a little larger. They are very comfortable and great for hiking, biking, and some water sports as they dry quickly. I highly recommend them!

I bought several shorts for hiking this summer and bought this style for the cargo pockets, they are so comfortable and wear well. I love the slightly longer inseam (others I bought were shorter). The elastic waist is comfortable, but love the belt to keep it looking less frumpy.
