Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

These shorts are extremely comfortable and have a great fit! They have become my favorite shorts this summer and I don't want to take them off. I highly recommend these shorts for anyone looking for a casual comfort pair of shorts.

I pretty much wear these all summer long. I think I have just about every color. They are so comfortable they do not cling to you when it's hot ,they dry fast if they get wet. The material is not hot on your skin when it's hot & humid outside. They wash up really nice. Best shorts ever highly reccommend!

Love the shorts. Lightweight and dries easily

The Shorts are light weight and wash and dry beautifully. I prefer them a little loose so I ordered a size larger. They fit great and look very nice

The fit is exactly what I needed. Loose in the thighs so I don't feel constricted. They dry so quickly too; less than 2 hours outside hanging and they are ready to wear again!

I love the feel and look. Will be ordering again

I love these shorts and own many pairs of them. I work outdoors in the heat and humidity and the comfort of these shorts is beyond compare. I use the cargo pockets for my cell phone and other devices as well as treats for my horse (I am a horseback riding instructor). Away from the barn these shorts are always cool and comfortable and look nice and neat. Thank you for making such a great product!

great fit, just what i needed for summer time

I bought these shorts for running as I prefer a sturdier fabric than the typical running shorts and also prefer shorts with pockets to store keys and gel pacs.

great fit - not too long & not too short

I love these shorts. These are my favorite shorts and haven't been able to find them in stores in our area.

Excellent shorts but I would perfer no zipper or button on front of shorts.

Lightweight fabric, washes well. Great all around, bought similar Columbia shorts several years ago. Love them.

I wear these every day and can go any where and do anything in them. Can not get enough of these shorts!

bought them in all colors except one

The Sandy River shorts that I bought 5 years ago are still going strong. The perfect short.

Like these shorts. Of course!! I bought some 15 years ago and they are still holding up well but colors are fading slightly with time. I bought medium shorts years ago so I ordered mediums again. The sizes have changed thru the years. The new mediums were a bit smaller in thigh area and shorter waisted from crotch to waste band. I had to return them and order a large which I have never worn before. The large gives me more room in thighs and inseam, but now the waste is quite big. I will keep the newer ordered shorts but will have to cinch in the waist with the nice belts that come with. It will gape a bit at waist but I wear shirts out so this wont show. The quality seems good still on the newer short, just sizes, shape of short have changed a bit.

Online products seem to run smaller than items I purchase in store.

A little short for my age (over 60) but I use for swimsuit coverup

I have these shorts in other colors, Large is perfect in the other colors. I once bought an XL and they were HUGE. So I ordered a Large and they are smaller than my other larges in the same shorts. They fit and I like the style so I'll keep them

Great shorts. The 6 inch length in perfect for my active work place. They are also a good length and they have a nice shape for my wider hips. The main downside is that the pockets are just a little two small for smart phones and other larger items.

Haven't had a chance to wear on a hike yet, but I like the fit and look forward to wearing on my trip to Spain next month. I am 5' 2" and weigh 155 lbs, normally buy size 12 and Large fits me just right.

But, you used to offer them in great colors, and I got them in a beautiful teal and red. I have them in about 6 different colors but please bring back some different colors.

Great for hiking, material is light weight and dries fast

Comfortable, nice style, but I'd rate them higher if they are deeper zipper back pockets instead of the small side pockets that I can barely fit my keys in one and credit card in the other.
