Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

These shorts are quality made and fit perfectly. I love the elastic waist which makes them super comfortable. The length is perfect, not too short, not too long. They wash easily and can be hung or dried in drier. They dry quickly! I LOVE these shorts and have bought 3 pair!

I purchased my first (of many to come) pair of Columbia Sportswear shorts. I wear shorts at work along with my Columbia Shirts and these are extremely comfortable to wear on long hot and humid days.

I love these shorts! With this purchase I now have 6 pairs of them. They are super cool and comfortable and they dry quickly if they get wet. A perfect length for me and the pockets are great.

I'm taking a vacation to Costa Rica and I needed to get quick drying shorts. This pair was one that I selected. It works great for packing and dries quickly.

These shorts are very comfortable and lightweight. They're great whether you're hiking or kayaking!

I have purchased these shorts both in the store and on line when they were on sale. Good fit, nice colors, secure pockets, easy care, pack nicely. What's not to love?

I ordered two shorts one in navy blue & one in beige. I received my order well before the date as indicated on my order. I like the material, color & it fits perfectly. I ordered xsmall. I love the belt which is included, the two front pockets & side zipper pocket for personal items that I can use anytime I am out running or walking in our neighborhood.

Got these to replace a similar pair of Columbia water shorts that are probably 20 years old - I kid you not! These fit nicely, look great on and are just what I need over a bathing suit for kayaking, boating, etc. I'd say the sizing is pretty accurate. I usually wear an 8-10 in pants as I'm 5'4", ~120 lbs and thick-waisted. Bought these in medium and they are just right - not too tight, not too big (said Goldilocks). Just wish they had these in some brighter colors.

This is a great short. The fabric is lightweight and very comfortable. The length and fit is good and allows for easy movement. The belt adds a nice touch but could be worn without it. I would like pants styled like this.

I have 5 of these. Love them

Absolutely love these shorts. I bought one pair & wear them so much I decided to buy 3 more. Comfortable, light weight, quick drying, lots of pockets. Great for running, around the house or when you want to dress extremely casual.

These shorts are perfect for theme parks water rides.... you dry off quickly and you're ready for your next ride.

As per usual, I am always pleased with the quality and style Columbia provides. I've been a customer for many years and I'm never disappointed.

These light weight Cargo Shorts are just what you need when the outdoor temperatures rise. Stylish and comfortable, at a great price.

I'm always looking for something to wear outside during the summer to keep me as cool and comfortable as possible...these shorts are a winner in my book for this south MS heat....I've bought every color they have!

Always love the clothes from Columbia.

Great for anything outdoors. Hiking, kayaking, pool and beach. Love them so much bought 3 pairs

I just purchased 3 of these shorts to wear for the summer, and I LOVE THEM!! They are the most comfortable pair of shorts I have ever worn, they look great and I get a lot of compliments! I will definitely be purchasing all colors soon!

Excellent shorts and comfy. Perfect for our 100+ temps in Tucson, AZ.

I love these shorts! They are light, quick drying, and the perfect length for a very active over 60 year old. The belt is great but I don't really need it since it has a great elastic waistband. The secure zipper pocket comes I real handy too.

They were a little big when I first got them but I may have just gotten too large a size. They were still super comfy and fit well even though they were a little bit! These shorts are great for doing everything in from hiking to lounging around. They are now one of my favorite pairs of shorts.

Love the fit and all the pockets of the Sandy River Cargo shorts. Lightweight fabric breathes and drys quickly.

Love these shorts. Fit great, Not too long or too short.

Comfortable fit and quick drying. I must have 2 dozen pairs in every color. I spend Winters in Key West so ride bicycle or scooter daily. These are the only shorts I wear. Wish you'd bring back past colors and enlarge one pocket to fit a thin wallet like some of your previous cargo styles.

As a full-figure 60plus-year-old woman. I have been searching for a pair of shorts that are both flattering and durable. The Sandy River Cargo short is the perfect short. They are a bit longer, flattering to my figure, light, comfortable and go from trail to casual dinner date with just a quick change to a chic top and strappy sandal. I highly recommend these shorts whether young or more mature, sightseer, trail blazer or dinner with friends, these shorts are just the ticket.
