Customer Reviews Columbia Palmerston Peak™ Short

These shorts are my favorites! I am an avid boater and spend a lot of time in and near the water. They are light, comfortable and dry very quickly. They can be used as swim trunks for casual shorts.

Size runs smaller but fit is not too boxie. Once I order a size up, the fit was perfect.

Fits great. Drys very quick.

These shorts are good for just about everything I use them for hiking, golfing, bike riding and getting in the water. I don't like the belt system as well as previous Columbia shorts and these run big. I am a large in most everything but a medium in these shorts is a much better fit.

I truly love these shorts. I wear them practically everyday. I am ordering more right after this review. My ONLY COMPLAINT IS: WHY HAVEN'T YOU MADE THESE SHORTS INTO PANTS? Not the style with the "Zip-Off" legs; real pants. Thank You!

They ran a little large for me but nothing that kept me from wearing them. The fit and feel were great and the pockets were a very nice touch. The zippered pocket was a great place to securely keep an ID and credit card. Very comfortable, could have worn them in just about any circumstance. Great pair of shorts.

These are great and versatile. I use them for Mt biking our swimming. Or descent shorts to hand around the house in

I have a hard time getting shorts like these to fit. These were great!. A tad bit long in the leg (reaching mid knee cap) but very comfortable. I especially like the draw belt built into the waist band over a draw string. Far more comfortable and they stay in place better.

Great swim suit. Perfect fit, and adjustable with belt. Dry's quickly! Just a great value!!

These shorts are great for wet or dry fishing conditions.. they are cool when its hot, and if you decide to wade and get them wet right before heading back to the dock i assure you you will be dry in no time. Awesome product!!

I have bought probably 30 pairs of these shorts through the years and obviously love this product but have noticed in the last year or so the adjustable belt tends to twist easily and the clasp is always falling off in the wash.I hope that you have caught this and corrected it.

Like the shorts. Lightweight and comfortable. Dry easily when wet.

Tried to order another pair,out of stock

A bit slimmer and the length a bit shorter. I like the shorts very much. They are comfortable for hiking and water sports. I had them shortened by a couple of inches and that's an improvement. So, my only reservation about them is the fit.

I spend a lot of time wade fishing rivers is South GA....these shorts are made for fishing....great fit and function .

Just an overall good quality pair of shorts. I use them for fishing , swimming and around town. They've really improved the quality over the years and they've always felt comfortable to wear anywhere. I might not be a "professional thrill seeker", but I do wear these more than 53 days a year and they hold up to everything I can give them.

After figuring out the belt buckle, this bathing suit stays on while swimming, fits well, dries quickly, is lightweight, and fashionable. I highly recommend this product.

good fit, good quality.

great product, very well made , holds up well

Nice long shorts. Hub runs corporate adventures and used to wear those heavy double-seated Patagonias. These days Columbia's long "swim" shorts are sturdy enough and look good enough to wear as shorts, as hub does year-round, even in winter weather.

These shorts are well made and great for everyday use. Bought for travel and they worked perfect!

I really enjoy these shorts. Light weight and really comfortable. The only thing is I wish it had a back pocket.

... just a great pair of stylish water shorts with an exceptional wear factor for everyday usage :-)

These babies are awesome!!!!!

Great shorts, comfortable and seem to be very weel made. Wish they had a drawstring!
