Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

These shorts are very nice. I bought them last year in blue and this year in madeira and green. I like the belts too. The length is perfect not too long and not too short. The wider leg makes legs looks thinner.

The fit is very comfortable and looks great. Also, the material dries quickly making it the perfect shorts for the beach or lake.

these shorts fit so well! i am so pleased that i bought them in every color!!!

Comfortable, roomy leg opening, like the pockets.

Exactly as described. True to size. Cool and quick drying. Not constricting perfect fit.

I bought these shorts for a safari in Kenya and began wearing them well before the trip. They are super comfortable, have loads of pockets, and feel great! I strongly recommend them. I haven't washed them yet but the material is so light, I'm sure they'll wash well and air dry quickly - great for hiking/traveling.

Light weight and plenty of room.

These shorts are so comfortable. They wash well. Great for travel as well as every day. They look great anytime. My daughter is a college student and she loves them!

I have one pair of these that I took on a cruise to Asia earlier in the year. They are very comfortable and dry quickly. When I saw them on sale, I ordered the Cypress, Nocturnal and Deep Madiera. I'm planning a cruise to the Panama Canal and these will be the staple of my traveling clothes. They are a great buy!

These shorts are oh so fabulous! The fit is flattering, yet roomy enough for a comfortable non-binding fit. The fabric dries very quickly if it gets wet. The pockets are an excellent feature, including a zipper pocket on the side. Functionality, style, and fit are all superb. I highly recommend these shorts!

I love the comfort and feel of these shorts.

Super happy with the fit and how cute these shorts are I will be ordering in a different color.

Exactly what I want.

Very comfortable, light, and nice

Was given similar shorts from my sister ( they were probably 10 years old) wanted more colors! Absolutely love them they wash and wear well? Perfect for my retirement use in Florida!

Love these shorts. The length is perfect. The fabric is light, cool , and breathable. These are just what I was looking for. Got caught in a rain storm the other day. When I got home, only thing dry was my shorts. Awesome. Look no further. These are great.

Wore these on a Colorado rafting trip + back country hiking in CO and was very happy with the performance and comfort! Love the belt, came in handy to loop on extra gear.

Bought two pair of these shorts for hiking trip in desert SW. Despite being in the desert we had several water adventures. The pants allowed for free movement when hiking (Virgin River in Zion); swimming (Lake Powel) and sliding down rocks (Slide Rock in AZ). They dried off quickly so we could go on to our next adventure, even when that was a trip to "town." Felt safe with my keys & cash in zippered pocket. Loved being able to hand-wash & drip dry them. They still look great and ready for our next adventure - wherever that may be.

One of my favorites. I love the relaxed fit, they are wrinkle free, and great colors. I'm always disappointed when they are in the laundry and not available to wear

These shorts are super comfortable and dry very fast. I cannot comment on the sun-screening properties as I'm lucky to hike mostly in the shade here. I like the quick-release belt. The only improvement I could suggest is a back pocket large enough for a cell phone; this would make it more comfortable for walking up hill. There are nice front pockets, however.

Love the fabric and the wear of these shorts! Have almost every color - my go-to-shorts for outdoor activities of all sorts. Great buy!

great for beach, water sports or just plain around the yard on hot days....beautiful color

I love these shorts for hiking and everyday. They are a perfect length, wear great, are lightweight fabulous fabric. They give me plenty of room to move. If I were going to change one thing it would be that one of the pockets have a zipper to put my phone in so it doesn't fall out during hiking, but easy to grab if I don't want to miss a photo

These shorts are incredibly comfortable and quick drying. They travel well and any wrinkles quickly smooth out. I also own a few pairs of the regular Sandy River shorts and these are much more comfortable for me. I have long legs but a fairly short body plus my waist is much smaller than my hips - the regular Sandy River shorts try their best to get that waist band as high up on my waist as possible ( bringing the crotch with them). I take the belt out of these and they sit perfectly on my hips without riding up. I will definitely be ordering more!

Fit is true to size. I ordered one in every color.
