Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

Simply the best, for hiking, camping, kayaking, anything outdoors. The fit is great

Great fit, nice looking, and great quality that you would expect from Columbia.

These shorts function on so many different levels. Hiking, walking [right side pocket perfect size for an ipod], gardening and just plain lazing around. Durability that can't be beat. My first pair that I bought years ago just got thrown out because after many, many washing, the elastic band broke down and they didn't stay up anymore. Oh well.... they were perfect while they lasted!

These shorts are exactly what I have been looking for. The fit is true to size, color choices are good. They wash beautifully. I actually bought a second pair for myself and one for a friend.

your product is also great on the golf course-cool-non sticking-lots of pockets-can you make this in white?

I work at a Fish Camp for children and these shorts are perfect! The pockets are funtional without being to bulky and the material dries very quickly. Perfect outdoor shorts!

Bought these shorts for a houseboat trip. Not only do they look sharp, but they are quick drying and have deep pockets. The adjustable belt is a plus as well.

This short is cool and comfortable beyond compare . They are well made and suitable for a variety of activities. I ordered several additional pairs.

I just bought 2 pairs of these shorts. They are the perfect length, and they don't creep up when you sit down. The material is lightweight and breathable. They do run a little large and have large legs. I threw the belts away and ordered some from buffalo designs- the belt loops will accommodate other belts. The shorts can easily be dressed up or down. I plan to order the other colors. Love them.

I ordered two pair of Sandy River shorts for an upcoming trip to Belize and Guatemala. After reading the reviews and the specs, I decided to get mediums (I"m 5'3" and about 133 lbs.) I thought they were pretty comfy, but hubby said they were kinda loose in the rear. I had time before the trip so I reordered both in small. Those were just a "scooch" too snug in the rise. Back and forth I went, comfy or sleek? I finally went with the sleek, small fit. These shorts are wonderful. The style is very nice, not too cargo-y. Love the self belt, too.

I love these shorts. I wear them to the gym and on hiking and kayaking trips with the boy scouts. Great pockets for gear. Material dries fast when it gets wet. I will be getting another pair to add to the two pairs I have already.

It drys fast and pratical. I've like it so much that bougth 4 diferent colours.

Comfortable, fit well. Ordered two since this style is my "go to" for all summer activities.

Excellent fit. Lightweight material. Easy to wash and quick to dry. Very comfortable. Great to wear on a hike or over a swimsuit. Liked my first pair so much I bought three more in different colors. These are now my daily "live-in" shorts.

These shorts are so adaptable to every kind of outdoor activity. Fit is really good. Not too tight, not to baggy. It would be nice if they were just a wee bit longer though.

Very well designed sorts for all occasions. The design is comfort blended with style. Great for paddling, hiking or casual outings.

I've had the Sandy River Shorts in every color and love them and decided to try out this Sandy River Cargo Short. They lived up to their name as I loved wearing them and found them even more functional for work or for activities where I didn't want to carry a bag/purse for my phone, id, etc. because I could make use of the zip pockets on the leg. They are so light weight and comfortable that they are all I want to wear anymore. I like the Sandy River Cargo because they look a little more professional for my type of work with the belt/pockets but still just as comfortable as the regular sandy river's. Wish they were available in more colors when I ordered them but I've been very happy with the dark green and khaki colors I have since they are so versatile.

These shorts are extremely comfortable and have a great fit! They have become my favorite shorts this summer and I don't want to take them off. I highly recommend these shorts for anyone looking for a casual comfort pair of shorts.

I pretty much wear these all summer long. I think I have just about every color. They are so comfortable they do not cling to you when it's hot ,they dry fast if they get wet. The material is not hot on your skin when it's hot & humid outside. They wash up really nice. Best shorts ever highly reccommend!

Love Zappos. Order one day get the next. These shorts are great. True to size. Excellent quality.

Love the shorts. Lightweight and dries easily

The Shorts are light weight and wash and dry beautifully. I prefer them a little loose so I ordered a size larger. They fit great and look very nice

The fit is exactly what I needed. Loose in the thighs so I don't feel constricted. They dry so quickly too; less than 2 hours outside hanging and they are ready to wear again!

I love the feel and look. Will be ordering again

All of the above, plus! These are the most comfortable shorts ever! I'm back buying 2 more. They are so comfortable, I wear the pair I first purchased every day (well, almost every day), I finally had to wear something different so I could wash them!
