Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

PERFECT FIT. I WILL ORDER 2 OR 3 MORE. EXCELLENT SERVICE. I LOVE IT!

I ordered 4, 1 in each color and am very pleased with them. Perfect for wearing any where and for running, walking, golfing or putting on over bathing suit. Only slight complaint would be the size of the side pockets are a bit too small so things can fall out.

These are just what I wanted. I am 65 145lbs and the Large fit perfectly. Only things I would wish for would be more colors, another inch longer and larger pockets - phone doesn't fit into the zipper parts. It is nice that they aren't low cut. Almost comes up to my waist.

I love these shorts. I wear them for hikes and at home. The quality is excellent and they are so comfortable. I just bought two pairs, tusk and black, because I got tired of wearing my old ones. I only wish they had bigger pockets for my cell phone.

I have bought these shorts for years and love them. The size chart is right . I should of bought xsmall but they are not to big very comfy. I have a bad back so a bit loose will work. I wish they had the zipped pockets on both sides like the ones I bought several years ago. I would follow the size chart for these because it is accurate. a great pair of shorts for the beach (dry very fast) and for really hot days. These for me are a must have for the summer.

Love these shorts! Work outside at a nursery and they are comfy and cool in the blazing heat. Only complaint I have is that the pockets aren't large enough to hold my phone.

Oh my gosh! These are my new favorite shorts. So lightweight, comfortable and cool!

What a bargain! I had an older pair and wanted to replace them. These are BETTER!! they are very light. Great for warmer weather and no need to iron. YEAH!

I love Columbia shorts. I have 10 different pairs. I use them when I fish. They dry super quick and are lightweight and comfortable. One person said they run small. I was between sizes, 8 and 10, when I was a 10 I tried them and they were snug but when I went down to an 8 the medium fit perfect.

One of the best all round shorts I have ever owned. They are great for boating and gardening and are really comfortable.

This product was reviewed as fits slightly smaller. I disagree. I ordered a larger size based on that review and wished I had ordered a smaller size. I think they fit true to size.

I was apprehensive about ordering these shorts because I don't like the "modern" definition of where the waistline falls. However, these shorts are very comfortable (despite the location of the waistline). I bought them to wear to gym workouts, and they are perfect.

Love these shorts, going to buy a few more. Lightweight, secure pockets, short but not silly short, I've hiked in them, kayaked in them and worn them out and about. very comfortable shorts

Love these shorts very comfortable

I usually wear a size 6 but ordered a Medium as I already owned a pair and knew that they fit a little small. I like them so much I ordered several pair. Great for Florida weather. Love how quickly they dry. Zipper pocket on side is great for your key when hiking or boating.

good to pack for travel,and lightweight.

This is my third pair of these shorts (new color). I wear them every day and they don't seem to ever show any wear. They are extremely comfortable. I wish the zipper pocket was big enough for my iPhone 6, but it does securely hold my money, license and a credit card so I can leave home without a purse.

I have worn these shorts for my daily walk for many, many years. They are lightweight, attractive and have big pockets for keys, cell phone, etc. They do stretch out a bit after a few hours of wear and get a little floppy looking, just mentioning. Not an issue for me. They return to shape after washing. My last 2 pairs lasted about 1o years!

Love these shorts. Light and airy for very warm days.

love these shorts. stylist but functional and comfortable!!

These shorts are some of the best fitting comfortable shorts I have ever worn. The waist is elastic so it gives you a little more comfort. They are very light weight and dry fast if out fishing.

I have used these shorts for over 10 years. They are so comfortable and they seem to never wear out. I live in Hawaii and use them every day. I only wish they had other colors like white and red. They are the best.

Twelve years ago, I got a puppy and bought a few pair of Columbia cargo shorts that could accommodate treats, tissues, phone, id, and poopy bag, all in separate pockets. They were great but after 12 years of being washed twice a week, they needed to be replaced. I bought both the Sandy River shorts and Sandy River Cargo shorts. The fabric is great, very light, the fit is very comfortable (I am 5'1" 122 pounds and the small is great) I definitely prefer the extra inch in the inseam the cargo shorts provide, plus, the pockets in the regular shorts are a little shallow and I'm afraid my phone might fall out. My old shorts have 2 deep pockets, plus deep zip cargo pockets, large enough to hold my phone. The new cargo shorts zip pockets are not deep enough for my phone. Since my walks are very hilly, I prefer my phone to be in a zipped pocket. I would definitely recommend these shorts, but would love to see the zipped cargo pockets enlarged to accommodate a phone.

These shorts are my favorites for functionality, fit (roominess without being baggy and perfect length), color selection and overall style.

I have ordered several pairs of these shorts. They fit perfectly and are very easy to take care of. Perfect for travel.
