Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Short

These Sandy River Shorts are so nice and cool for hot summer weather. They dry very quickly, too! I have these in many colors.

THEY FIT REALLY GOOD AND IS VERY COMFORTABLE. I DONT WEAR ANYOTHER SHORTS

I just came back from a week in Central America with no A/C. These shorts were so cool and comfortable and the zipper rear pocket was perfect for card sized security. Wish they came in more neutral colors!

These fit me perfect. I am 5 ' 105 lbs. and ordered xs. Per other reviews that they ran small took a chance on xs as compared to small. It worked out ok.

These shorts are functional, comfortable, and versatile.

Beautiful color, soft and comfortable, these shorts are perfect for outdoor and indoor activities. They are v practical yet classy enough for casual dining. Love these! Only slight drawback is the soft drawstring tends to knot when I try to untie.

I have bought this product many times of the past few years..........very long lasting material ...will continure to purchase in the future

I have two pairs of these that I ordered last year, black and a brighter purple than what is offered above. I wear these shorts pretty much every weekend. I plan on buying two more pairs this season. I've never had a problem with these shorts. The pockets are great and the length is good. I hike pretty much every weekend both Saturday and Sunday (I have an 8 month old lab puppy who is crazy energetic). Highly recommend these quick dry shorts.

Love these shorts. They have a comfy fit and I own several pairs and wear them often. Still look good even after wearing them most of the summer!

I'm between sizes, my waist measures as small, but my hips measure as medium. I got the medium and I'm glad I did. They fit perfectly around my hips and the draw string means I can cinch them down so that they fit my waist well as well. I use these for river running and they work great.

I found my first pair in an outdoor store and loved them so much I bought a second pair here online. Color-wise, the Miami shorts are sort of like bright colored scrubs. I like the color but it's not sky blue or anything. The Cypress ones were more Army green than I expected but still a great color. The only nit picky thing I don't love about these shorts is how open the front pockets are. If you bend your leg too much or squat down, phones, keys, eyc are likely to fall out. The back pocket is the perfect size for your ID or drivers license and zips which is super handy for days when you don't want to carry a purse. I have gotten pen stains to come out of my blue shorts so far and even most of the tar marks I aquired from helping my husband put a new top on the Jeep. They are super light and the perfect length. For the price, it would be hard to find more useful shorts. The size is right on target. I wear between a 0-2 in pants and the XS size fits perfect. Love them!

I've had other Columbia water shorts for many years and the elastic has given out finally. These are different from my others but nice, hopefully they last as long. They are light weight, comfortable and dry very quickly. My only complaint is the front slash pockets are very shallow, but I'm still ordering two more pairs in different colors.

I recently bought 4 pair of these shorts in different colors. They fit well and are very comfortable. I'm looking forward to wearing them doing outdoor summer activities.

Love these shorts! Great length (not too short!). Super lightweight and versatile. Great for running, hiking, biking, or just around town. Thank you for making these Columbia! Please offer more colors too!

Like them because the pockets are big enough so items don't fall out. Especially the back pocket in the back. I will purchase more of these because they are light and quick to dry. Great for hiking and camping.

These are not "booty flattering" but they are good for air flow, comfy, and fit fairly well. I got them for summer hiking and would recommend them for any summer activity.

These shorts are awesome! I wear them to work (I work at a ropes course outdoors) almost every day in the summer. They're great for the heat and dry quickly when it rains. I wish they weren't sold out of my size in other colors so I could buy more!

They are cool, right length and have pockets!

These shorts are very easy to get stains out of and and very light. Living in Florida it is imperative to have shorts that breathe and are lightweight and cool, these shorts are phenomenal.

I have been looking for this type of active wear shorts for several years. Absolutely love them...ordered several pairs. Nice fit especially with a yolk in the back eliminating the usual bulk of a stretch waist band but still not tight. They are a "short" 5" inseam and I would prefer just a bit longer. Adding a zippered pocket would make these perfect! Even considering these last two comments, I am extremely happy with them.

good buy on well made cute summer shorts = even have a zipper pocket ! recommend

wear them for traveling, light weight, good fit.
