Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

I love these shorts. I order them every year and they add colors and new style as well.

They are the perfect shorts! Comfy, pockets for everything, can get wet and not feel heavy. Super durable too - climbing around on rocks. Great for hiking and working in my garden!! I have 4 pairs!!!

These shorts are so comfortable, modest, and practical. The huge sweat well and are great for all things outdoors !

I'm not a huge belt lover so I wasn't so sure but it is just fine. These are like Columbia's other hiking pants that I own. They look nice but are functional too. My husband always comments when I have Columbia on about how nice they look on me also! Bonus

Lover how they fit and feel. Really like that they don't fit tight and gives you room to more in

great in the summer heat

This is my 4th pair of these so you can tell I love them. Great for hiking here in AZ.

I love these shorts and have them in so many colors! They are great for trips...take up little room in the suitcase and dry fast!

The Nocturnal color is nice but the stitching is white which was a little strange at first. They still look great on and fit excellently. The added belt is nice since you can use it for more than just the shorts!

I bought these shorts for casual weekend wear. I've discovered they are great for hiking, traveling, and just lounging around the house. I ended up buying several more pairs because I found I was wearing them so often.

Comfortable. Washes well.

Great fit. Very comfortable. Right length and right amount of pockets with easy access! Very pleased with my purchase!

I have recently lost over 100 pounds, and have been completely rebuilding my wardrobe from top to bottom. I'm finally comfortable in shorts, so I went on a quest for the perfect ones. Something casual, but not TOO casual. Something comfortable and the right length. Something in multiple colors that I could truly wear with anything. Enter the Sandy River Cargo Short! The elastic waist coupled with a snap/zip closure gives the perfect combination of comfort and style. They aren't sports shorts, but they aren't dress shorts. That perfect middle ground that can be worn with a tee, or a nicer top. The fabric is so light and cool, that they would be great even on the hottest days. The 6" inseam isn't too short or too long, and hits just right. And, if that weren't enough, they also have great pockets, and come with an adjustable belt. I bet they'll even be great for wearing the water, and will dry quickly. Seriously need these in every color, and probably won't wear much else! So glad I found these!!

I rarely write reviews, only when things are excellent or awful. I bought a pair of these shorts years ago to wear on a kayak trip. They are breathable and dry quickly and have pockets. I found myself wearing them when I take walks to hold my phone and keys, when I mow the lawn and want to stay cool, whenever I want to be casual and have pockets! I figured it was high time I bought more in different colors, so here we are! Thank you Columbia for making them.

I went off the size chart and the fit was perfect. The shorts are cool, comfortable, and absolutely the perfect length.

I bought a pair of these shorts at an outlet when I was on a vacation and wanted a quick drying short. I loved them so much I bought one in ever color. They fit great and are super lightweight. The pockets are deep so things don't risk falling out. I highly recommend these shorts!

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!
