Customer Reviews Columbia Palmerston Peak™ Short

My husband likes these, they fit well and are well made.

I now have five pairs of these shorts that I can wear 9 months out of the year. Quality shorts that last and last after repeated washings. Always look to Columbia for active wear.

Great shorts for fishing, internal briefs are nice. Makes for less clothes when packing for long range fishing trips.

This is our 4th pair of these shorts. They are great dry quickly and look nice

price, quality all good. size was as expected. would purchase again.

Great pair of hiking/ swim shorts. Perfect fit. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a stylish quality and comfortability in a pair of swim shorts.

I live in St. George, Utah and own seven pairs of these shorts in various colors. I love them for everyday wear and for hiking and general low level sports activity. The liner brief is a nice additional touch that only improves upon the shorts comfort. I wear these shorts on a daily basis year round and could not recommend them more highly if you are looking for a great all around pair of shorts

I wear these fishing mainly and they are great. The built in adjustable belt is the key for me as I can put them on and pull tight and go. I don't want to have to wear sized shorts since I am in between and need a built. Love these and hope they never quit making...about the only company that has this style.

These are a fantastic blend of swim suit and shorts. Taking grandkids to Six Flags, where you know you will be wet, floating a river, or anywhere that you just want to go from water to dry. They dry almost instantly and you can walk through the gift shops without looking like you just came from the pool. Word of caution: I own an older version of these shorts in a Large. The Large on these was just too big; the medium is just right. Columbia's size chart is correct, but you actually have to read it.

Nicely made swim suit, appreciate the belt & buckle feature.

great quality, they seat right above the nee. Wish they had a pocket in the back.

Good fit, good price. My wife bought a few pair of these for my birthday. I have lost 25 lbs over the last year so I needed some new shorts. I really like them in the Florida heat and humidity with the combined short and liner. Will end up with some more.

Great shorts/swim trunks. My husband wears these mainly for fishing, he has about 10 pairs. Just need to keep buying new ones because he ruins them!!

Fit true to size not bigger as Columbia suggests. Quick dry, comfortable, just the right amount of stretch. My wife loves the color.

Good fit, we'll made, comfortable, and very inexpensive

Love these shorts for about any summer activity around water or the pool! Great fit, and durability!

I live on Hawaii island and wear these shorts almost every day. I bought 6 pairs about 4 or 5 years ago and they are still holding up though faded. I just bought 2 more for "dress up". BTW- I wish you still made a khaki green color.

I've been wearing these shorts for years. Absolute favorites for style, fit, durability. Please don't quit making them.

I love the shorts - I have 4 pair - but these came in, what I thought, was the wrong color so I had to return & ask for the correct color. Hope they come

Best travel shorts. They pack well, you can swim in them, and wear them for casual dress dinner or flight. These shorts last forever.

My husband loves these shorts! After wearing the first pair for one day, he wanted to order two more pairs. So he did. All three pairs fit well and he likes the longer 10 inch length. The material resists moisture and drys quickly. Definitely a winner!

After purchasing the Men's Palmerston Peak shorts in early 2020, I liked them so much that I bought two more pairs. They are very comfortable for hanging around the pool or lake, but I also like to wear them in situations where I sweat a lot such as hiking or doing yard work in warm weather. They dry out quickly and the built-in liner eliminates the need for separate underwear. Despite being so comfortable, they look good enough that I can wear them out while running errands and such. The built-in belt is a nice feature, but I found that there was too much excess length on the belt when it was tightened and nowhere to stow the excess. I ended up cutting off about 6" of the belt and re-sewing the end where I cut. Also, as has been mentioned in other reviews, it is CRITICAL that you carefully remove all of the stitching that holds on the product packaging, which is a tag that folds over the waistband. A seam ripper works well for this purpose. This stitching goes right through the belt. If you don't remove every last bit of these threads, the belt can't move freely and won't work right. I really wish Columbia would come up with a better way to package this product. If it were possible, I would remove half a star just for this poor packaging design.

Bought a similar pair for my dad for Fathers Day, which he has worn several times (he usually does not like new clothing). He liked they are lightweight, dries quickly keeping him cool and on the go. I bought these for my brother in law to do the same for him!

I have been wearing this columbia brand shorts for over 20 + yrs. .. It has probable been at least 15 ytd. since I last ordered these shorts... And here it is 15 yrs. later and they fit like nothing changed.... The quality was great than and it is great now....

Wish they made more of these and in more colors. My fianc loves these because they have the mesh underwear lining inside. Great for hot weather hiking walking anything! They are not to short or too long. His waist is 38" and he is little over 6 foot tall. Would order more but out of stock.
