Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

Bought these for fishing and beaching and they're great. Lightweight, quick dry material and I love the belt. I thought they would make me look old, but I found them to be rather fashionable while functional. Love the pockets. I also like the color selection. After buying these it's hard to go back to cotton shorts for summer.

Very comfortable, good quality. I had to order one size larger in these shorts because they run slightly small.

Love the way they fit! Perfect length for when I cannot wear shorter shorts to work.

Excellent shorts. Great for traveling, light weight and very comfortable.

I bought a pair in Hawaii and loved them. Now have 5 pairs!!

Lightweight. Easy for travel. Air dries fast. Got 5 pairs and love them all.

I wear these all the time. I have 3 pairs that I have had for all most 9 yrs and I wear them every summer. They are the most comfortable shorts I have worn.

At 66, I don't wear shorts very often but needed some for traveling. I generally take hand washable clothes (nylon, polyester) and have a big collection of Columbia pants and shirts. I am normally a size 6 but got these in a medium since Columbia pants, like the anytime outdoors, sometimes run small. These are very roomy--I can pull them on without using the zipper but do not need the belt. They are exceedingly comfortable and do not pull when sitting, bending, or moving around. The pockets are a good size for carrying a phone and dog treats. Even the 6" inseam is perfect, and the length hits my legs at a good point. I need to find more in basic colors since I am not a bright red or blue person in pants.

I now have about half a dozen of these in different colors. They're very comfortable. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the zipper on the right side. Often it runs on my hand while I'm. It's rather annoying.

I have an older pair of these shorts in khaki and wear them a lot. When I saw the other colors I just had to have them so I got purple, aqua and pink. I love the feel and drape of the material along with all the various size pockets. These shorts pack well, wear well and dry quickly if they get wet. I'm 5' 3", 117 lbs. and find the small to fit perfectly. I also like the 6" seam as they fall mid-thigh on me which is a length with which I'm comfortable.

I bought the first pair and loved them so much I bought 2 more for next summer. They are super comfortable and do not ride up on my thighs. That was a major concern for me. I am an average size 12 and bought the size 14 which I am very happy to say fit really nice. the lenth was good for me. I am 5'5" tall.

Great shorts, runs a little big in size. Wish the shorts were about an inch or inch and a half longer.

I now have every single color of these shorts. I have been wearing this style for over 2 yrs now. I love the pockets as my iPhone fits perfectly when I go on my daily 8 mile walk. These r highly recommended. Cool & comfy!

Great length and weight for wearing in the water.

I have 4 pairs and I love everything about them. They're light weight so they dry quickly if they get wet, they're the perfect length for gardening, hiking, and biking, and the elastic waistband gives comfort with every bend and reach! Great quality with the construction, I hope they add even more colors!

I wear these for pickle ball, both indoor and outdoor. They are extremely lightweight which I like. The material is durable. I once hiked a mountain so steep that the only way down was to slide on my butt. The material has no wear from that day. None.

great shorts,fit nice,great selection of colors,just what I wanted !

These are my go-to summer shorts. They are comfortable for everyday wear, pull on easily, wash and dry quickly, great for fishing or any other place you might get wet.

Loved these shorts--just the right length, quick drying and comfortable. Ran a bit large but otherwise great like most Columbia products.

These shorts are basically the same style as some I purchased about 5 years ago with some modifications to the side pockets. The fit is the same and the function is the same, which is what I wanted. They are nice and lightweight for summer activities and dry fast when they become wet. Now if I could only find a pair of capris designed similarly with bigger side pockets.

Great styling, good fit, nice fabric. I like the slightly longer length of these compared with the Sandy River Shorts. The yolk at the back makes for a nice fit with the elastic waist eliminating the usual bulk. The cargo pockets are a bit small. A zip pocket at the waist would make these perfect. Love the colors...

I've been wearing Columbia cargo shorts for years. They wear well, dry quickly, and offer secure zip pockets for essentials. You can't go wrong packing these shorts for travel, too!

These are the best shorts I have ever bought. I absolutely love them. I bought two colors and am seriously thinking of buying the other colors too! I wear them every day and when one is in the wash, I'm wearing the other. They dry so quickly. I love them....perfect.

Love the material..light weight...perfect for outdoors - camping, gardening, golfing.

I love these shorts. Great fit, true to size, easy care and lots of colors. I got these for a mid-April trip to Florida and they held up great through several wearings. Very comfortable. I will definitely get more colors.
