Customer Reviews Columbia Silver Ridge™ Cargo Short

Nice shorts with matching belt included. Loved all of the pockets

Great lightweight shorts for summer. Love the smooth fabric feel and ease of movement. All the pockets are appreciated, but theres no easy place to put keys. I dont like the feeling of keys flapping around in a deep mesh pocket or Id have given these 5 Stars!!

Sized right. Comfortable. Light weight. Great when on sale. Not a fan of velcro close back pockets but these aren't bad. Zippered pocket a must.

Size is way off on the shorts and returns are overly complex and slow.

Ordered 2 pair, gray ones fit true to size. Black ones are too tight.

Nice shorts fit just right, good quality , like them , would recommend them

Nice looking shorts . I like the feel of the material.

Bought these for my son who has other Columbia shorts he bought. I brought the exact same size in two different styles, but the Silver Ridge Style ran small. It is not a true 32 waist. I would suggest going up a size.

Want to maintain your modesty while feeling like you're not wearing pants at all? Colombia Silver Ridge Cargos (100% nylon ripstop material) feel, at worst, like fine Thai silk, and at best, like a cool breeze shimmering around your nether regions. Whether you're hiking, traveling, shopping, on dates, lounging at the beach, or just taking an afternoon nap, these are the best pants I've ever stepped into. If Colombia had provided the cast of Star Trek (TNG) with outfits made of this magical stuff, we'd never have heard of the 'Picard Maneuver.' Two deep cargo pockets on each side lay flat, so you don't need to google 'are cargos considered dad pants,' but expand when needed for camera lenses, gadgets, or small tools, along with regular side pockets that your keys won't chew up. Everything is kept in place with an amazing belt quick-lock system that actually keeps your pants up while letting you slip through airport security with ease. If it's true that love is the reason we're here, and we should shun material things, I've got to admit I failbecause I love these shorts. They never feel tight and are very forgiving if you happen to be a little rotund. My very smart-looking and functional anti-cargo-cargos. Get them!

Pants are fine, but the color is not what I was expecting. Ordered Fossil, which is what I received. The picture online is much closer to white than the tan color I received. Are the pictures for Fossil and Tusk backwards?

I ordered these in November for my husband to have this summer. They are the same size he has of the same exact shorts in 2 other colors that he has had for years. He went to put them on for the first time today and they don't fit the same. Very frustrating.

I bought several pairs three years and they were great. I recently bought new two pairs. The new version is made of recycled polyester which rubs against my skin. Also, the side zip down pocket is useless. I can't fit anything larger than a credit card.

Different Fit, compared to same shorts I've had they are a smaller fit.

I do like Columbia products but not these shorts. The waist fit was true to size (38"). I am 5'8" and the shorts were far too long covering my knees. The shorts were too baggy and unflattering. The pockets fell far too low on the legs given the length. Have decided to return them.

These shorts are fantastically thin and breathable. I wear them in the summer when I sweat all day. They run about 1" small in the waist (or maybe they just don't stretch like denim). They are decently durable but they eventually start ripping, after 4-6 months of constant wear (I am not nice to my clothes). The back pockets fail, probably because I bike. The only downside is they pick up a distinctive odor, but I've taken to rinsing them in the shower with me several times a week and that's not a problem anymore.

Great fit, comfort and quality. I just wish that they didn't have mesh pockets. I must have missed that in the description.

Just bought and I do like them but they run small. I'm 36 waist and just fit . Would like more room in the waist, not true to their size.

These are nearly flawless.Plenty of pockets including one zipper closure for security. I just wish the pockets were not spot easy o wear through.

Nice lightweight shorts. Should be good for summer.

Fit as expected. Material is thin and breathable very comfortable

as expected, good quality - only complaint is there is no expansion in the waist - different from previous pairs I've purchased. Don't think this was mentioned in the product description.

Nice summer shorts with the quick-drying nylon material. Very lightweight and breathable cargo shorts. Like that on of the side pockets is zippered and secured. The back pockets use a too-small strip of velcro to secure, it should be full-size velcro to secure them.

My wife bought these because she did not like any of the women's styles. But they are too plain for her so she if going to sew some decorations to feminize them a bit. I just knocked off 1 star as a gripe about the women's offerings. She did not want any tights or short shorts.

Second pair. love 'em!

The product is very good but the sizing is not very accurate. I wear 36 and it is tight , but 38 is way too big.
