Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

Love the color, just a bit darker than shown. Comfy, lots of pockets, light weight.

Discovered these last summer. Cool when it's hot, dries quickly when wet. Perfect for a summer adventure!! Now I'm on the mission to buy more colors by next summer.

The size worked out pretty well for me. The pockets are pretty big to keep all the essentials while on a hike. Loved the fabric.

The color is great, the fabric is feather light but tough, and I feel great in them. The only slight problem with the fit is that they are a bit short in the crotch, but when I wear them for a while, that eases a bit.

I love these shorts in navy and khaki . I can wear any top . I just grab them and go and work in the heat in my barn and in my farm! Super cool to wear in the humidity ! Elastic makes them close easily . I'm short and curvy so the elastic makes it work. I don't wear the belt but wear a shirt tucked out .I'd say lose the belt ! Not necessary on larger sizes we aren't gonna tuck in our shirts!

Very comfortable, lightweight, love pockets and adjustable belt. Just ordered another pair in a different color.

Have 4 pair-love them

I am really happy with these shorts! They are super soft and light (softer than Patagonia baggies imo) and seem like they will dry super fast. I like the longer inseam, I got them for an outdoor job that requires mid thigh shorts. Most people said they are true to size, but I am usually a small or medium and i had to return for an XS because the small was way too big.

These shorts rock! Can be used for just about any outdoor activity, and also suitable for casual wear. Side zip pocket keeps valuables (e.g. keys, $) safe when in water. Didn't realize belt was included so a nice bonus. They run a little big, though. I'm a 6-8, so I purchased a medium because I have found that Columbia tends to run a little small on me. They'll be fine as long as I don't wear them in the river or lake. Just purchased another pair in a small so I don't have to worry about them slipping down in the current.

These are the perfect shorts for hot summer hikes. Thin but sturdy material, quick-drying, and true to size. The length is also exactly what I was looking for. Not too short, not too long. They don't leave me feeling exposed.

I bought them to work at the zoo during the summer, and they fit super well. They're great to work and move around in! I love them!

These shorts are perfect for everyday wear during these hot summer days. Wash well and dry very quickly. I have several pairs and am considering adding to my collection.

Been looking for new shorts for a few years. Have had Columbia for over ten years. These fit the bill. Not too long, not too short. Very comfortable for all activities. So glad I found these

Have been wearing this style for over 10 years. They hold up to active outside wear and multiple washings & dryings. Good for wearing around the house, out and about or walking the beach with plenty of pockets to stuff with shells or sharks teeth. 6 inch inseam is just right. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love these shorts. I must have at least 10 pair in various colors as they are my go-to shorts for hiking & in the warmer months. They are light weight, comfortable, & dry easily. I am 5'8", 133lbs, & the medium fit me perfectly. I highly recommend.

Very comfortable. I wear them quite often when I go walking.

Fit nice and great material, great for working in the ysrd

Great quality and perfect fit. I am 133 lb and 5 feet 7 inch and size M works good for me. I will be buying more! I love Columbia!

These are some of the coolest, quick dry and durable shorts I own. I have seven pairs at this point. Very comfortable with functional pockets

I needed these shorts for a job at a summer camp and they have worked swimmingly!! They're breathable and keep me cool all day long. They are a little thin though so keep that in mind. But overall they're fabulous and I love them. and that's that on that fellow Colombia enthusiasts.

Very comfy, lightweight, love the material. I just wish the pockets were bigger! Why do women's clothes always have tiny pockets??

I actually own 9 pairs of these shorts. I live in Florida and walk the beach several times a week. These shorts are very comfortable, light weight and the waistband gives when bending over to pick up a shell. I also like all the pockets and the fact that they dry quickly if they get wet. The first 3 pairs I bought are now 6 years old and look great! I wish they would add pink and sea foam colors to their list. I will continue to buy more as new colors come out.

The cool is for the temperature comfort & for the style! Cool! I so enjoy these shorts because they are light weight, good colors (4 pair!), fit very well, & the length is the best for me!

Love the color and fit! Great for outdoor wear

Ideal for outdoor activities ... very light, comfortable and of excellent quality
