Customer Reviews Columbia Big & Tall Silver Ridge Cargo Short (42-54)

Like no other shorts I've worn before. I do believe I'll be trying on the pants version of these in an outdoor store near me. Can't wait for summer just to wear these.

Got this pair specifically for hiking, but they were so nice that I ended up using them for everyday wear. Got lots of compliments on them! Pros: Lightweight and cool. Dries quickly Con: Pockets are not very large. Was unable to keep my cellphone from falling out.

While hiking and making presentations at different art shows and astronomy programs my shorts look great, feel great and have enough pockets to store all the items I need.

Fit like I expected. Should be my go to shorts until I lose some weight.

I had to go up 2 sizes - run small but seem to fit okay after the big jump up

These are good. The technical fabric makes that nice swishing noise when you walk. The pocket lining is made of mesh like in a swimsuit, so keep that in mind if you’re one of those people that gets paranoid about things falling out of your pockets from the inside. The belt is useless and not necessary.

My girlfriend and i both thought the shorts were good looking and she loves the fact that she doesn't have to iron them! They fit nice, flat front tyoe khakis and they are very comfortable with roomie pockets in the back.

Comfortable; easy care

A perfect gift for father's day!!!!

I purchased these for my dad, who is wheelchair-bound in muggy Florida. He loves them - the fabric is comfortable and cool and doesn't wrinkle badly. The elastic in the waist is great, as the waistband doesn't cut in (An all-elastic waistband would be even better.) The longer leg length is great in a chair, and the leg pockets are useful and accessible. I bought one size up for a little extra room and comfort.

These shorts are very nice. They are comfortable and allow for some stretching. The fabric is a type of quick dry, which makes them perfect for fishing, etc.

The shorts fit well and had great mobility, wicking properties and drying properties. Great for larger hikers like myself. Plenty of pockets and pocket space. The only detractor is the belt and belt loops. The belt is flimsy, especially for larger men and there are not enough loops on the shorts to allow the belt to stay in place. I removed the belt and used a heavy leather belt which helped greatly, but still had some issues due to the belt loops. Overall a great product at a great price.

needs more belt loops

These shorts are comfortable and fit great. Their ability to dry quickly after being in the water rocks! I've been wearing mine all summer. I have them on now. The belt works great, however, there needs to be two more belt loops. I'd take the two on either side of the fly/button and move them closer in and then add another pair, one each hip. Also, the two front pockets don't work well enough to hold anything in them because they're not deep enough. There's not enough space between the top of the bottom opening of these pockets to the bottom of the pockets to allow them to hold anything other than lint.

I like the shorts but felt they where too thin and i would end up tearing them easily so I returned them. I'm a big guy and flexibility is a necessity and I was not convinced these would hold up to every use at work.

I’m pleased with these shorts, but be advised the fabric is thin. Doesn’t seem to be a bad thing, but I was expecting something heavier.

Fit very tight. Not much room for comfort. Feel like I have a pair of swim trunks on. I love Zappos, but cannot say the same for these shorts.

the sage color does not look the same as online. online the sage looks a bit grey/kackish. The actual sage is an old school green tent canvas color. Not what i was looking for since i don't particularly care for green. color aside, these are a very nice pair of shorts. they do run small by a full inch in the 46 size. A size 46 is actually 45 inches according to a tape measure. if you go up a size they are a very comfortable fitting light weight pair of shorts. these shorts have the better quality adjustable belt that does not fall apart after one washing. I love how these have both a left and right side leg pocket along with the normal front pockets. It makes these shorts very practical for many outdoor activities where you want to securely carry things with you like keys, phone, wallet..... ect.

These were returned. The sizing is odd and they don’t fit well.

Diasappointed way too big and too baggy . Not true to size

I liked the shorts and thought the price was fair but was disappointed that they run small and were way to tight. I base this on other shorts I've purchased from Eddie Bauer and Dockers.

I bought these exact shorts a few years ago, and thought they were great, the pockets were perfect, all my stuff was kept very safe. These new shorts have pockets that are totally worthless, except for the one cargo pocket that has a zipper. I have lost my wallet, keys, money clip, and phone because of these pockets, the shorts would be great if you had NO stuff to carry, why they changed the pockets is a mystery, probably saved 50 cents, now the shorts are almost worthless!!!
