Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Cargo Short

I wanted something lightweight and water-friendly, and these fit the bill. I love the elastic waist for sitting, squatting, etc. Plan to buy in more colors.

Love the fabric, they are a little shorter than I thought but I am 5'8. They are really comfortable! Will be great for hiking trip! I wear size 12 shorts typically so wondered about sizing. (12-14) fits perfect, maybe little snug if you are a true 14.

When I received these shorts and held them up they looked So short but once I put them on they are not short at all, just the right length. They are very comphy and dry very quickly after being washed. I think I've found my new favorite shorts

These shorts have been my favorite for several years. This year I needed a smaller size & they fit great. Not only did I recommend them to a friend while on vacation, I brought a pair of my short for her to try on. Her comment to me when she returned my shorts was "I love them!" I even sent her the link to the website site so she could order the correct ones. They're great, light weight, quick dry, & wear well for a long time.

I have so many pairs of these shorts in every color. The fit & performance is very dependable with a perfect length, modest without being matronly. I live in a climate with miserable hot & sticky summer so the lightweight and quick-dry fabric is a necessity. The only negative thing I could even think of to say is the elastic in the waist tends to give way after a couple years, but this is with steady 9-months of the year use so not to be unexpected. They are still perfectly wearable. This pair (navy) came with contrasting white stitching which surprised me. Not sure if this is intentional or a mistake as they are not described or pictured this way, but I will keep them as it's not a dealbreaker.

True to size. Not too short. Very comfortable. Own about 5-7 pairs ??

I have been wearing these shorts for YEARS and I LOVE THEM. When I first bought these it was for a cruise vacation and I wore them almost every day! The moisture wicking was a godsend in the tropics where it rained the entire day but my shorts wicked it right off! I was astounded! While everyone else was soaked I was blissfully comfortable. I'll always have at least a few pairs of these in my wardrobe at all times! A MUST HAVE!!

I just wore these shorts at Thanksgiving in Ocean Ilse Beach. Perfect for a warm day. I am 5'6", 128 lbs and I bought a medium.

I have multiple pairs of these shorts- they are perfect for kayaking, biking & warm weather hiking. Great for travel since they pack small & dry very quickly. Highly recommend!

These shorts are exactly what they advertise them to be. They are very comfortable. A stable in my closet.

I always struggle finding nice looking comfortable shorts but these are perfect!

These are great shorts especially for kayaking and hiking. I do a lot of both. Very comfortable. Dries quickly. Plenty of pockets - and has zip pockets for things like keys. They fit great. I bought a pair during the late summer in Canada - and just bought 2 new pairs on-line. Love Colombia products.

I have purchased several pair of these shorts. They last forever and the quality is fantastic. I LOVE them!

Unlike many other shorts, these are cut to fit perfectly and are very comfortable for exercise and sunny days in the backyard. At my age, they're too short (I know, 6" is 6" ... the length is not a big surprise) for me to be comfortable wearing them out-and-about, but that's me and not the shorts.

Always find that the material is long lasting and fits comfortably and true to size. Adapts to many different approaches of wear for events. This purchase made for next summer stock up.

Comfort and great for any where to go.

I really like these shorts. Not too short, not too long.

This is the third pair of these short I have purchased. They are light weight, comfortable and just long enough. Great for travel, especially to warm climates.

I love these shorts! They fit and feel great ! I love them so much , i ordered several more in different colors ! Don't delay , order yours and you will love them too .

I have two pairs of this style shorts. They are comfortable for all activities. They wash well with no shrinking. Great pair of shorts!

These are light, resist abrasion, and dry quickly. They bunch up between my legs when running, but not when walking. The side pockets are too little for even an electronic car key, but the front pockets are ample.

I absolutely love these shorts..They are so very comfortable. The material is a very lite weight materialand doesn't cut or bind your body..I stay cool and dry all day ..I love them

I was looking for shorts that that are comfortable for hiking and functional at the gym. These hit both marks. They are light weight, comfortable, and ready to wear after being after stuffed in my back pack.

My sister loved this shorts. She is 22 years old, usually she looks comfy clothes and this shorts is all she wanted. True size Perfect fit Comfy You can run, jump, walk or wear to go out to the cinema, park, She recommended

Love these shorts especially with the 5 in. inseam. The cargo pockets are great for holding more items than just the two side pockets. Fabric dries quickly if the shorts get wet.
