Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Short

These shorts are so comfortable. I've received lots of compliments on the color also!

Very comfortable. Ordered a large and it fits very well.

I love these shorts, and I love the fabric, light weight, so I could sleep in them if I wanted to. They fit me perfectly, and the size is my regular size. The color, one of my favorites, is spot on.

These shorts are very comfortable and light. Great to play tennis in. Love this color!

Love these shorts! Have them in every color. Great fit, pull-on, cool and very comfortable. Some pairs I've had for years and they look just like my new ones. I wear these all the time is why I have every color.

Most incredibly soft shorts for summer wear that I have ever owned! I love that they have a zippered back pocket so that I can keep my key fob, license and cash safely secured. This is my third pair only because I need to have a variety of colored shorts in my wardrobe!

Great, easy fitting, cool, comfortable shorts! Love Columbia.

These are my go-to shorts. I wish I had discovered them sooner! I have them in multiple colors and extras just in case.

These are the best shorts! I received a pair through a promotional campaign with a clothing company & fell in love. I now own 4 pair!!

Nice lightweight fabric. Very comfortable and flattering

These shorts are extremely comfortable... this is my second pair

Comfortable and light... just right for Summer!! VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE

I have these in 3 colors. Love them. They are comfortable and flattering.

These shorts are the best! They can be worn in the water and dry so fast, breathable, and super comfortable! I'll be ordering more!

I'm on a sailing vacation with my first pair of Sandy River shorts, and I'm inspired to search for and buy more pairs! I have the 5" inseam in red, size regular M, and I'm 5'5", 130 pounds, 51 years old. They are so comfortable, lightweight, and versatile. No liner, so you can wear comfortably with underwear, swimwear, or even commando. I also like the just right II capris for greater sun protection, but these shorts are great and so cool!

I own six pairs of the Sandy River model shorts, and I come back annually to add to my collection. They are comfortable, fit well, are great for summer, and hold up after years of wear!

Love the color and fit. Order your regular size. I dozed up and it was a mistake. I can still wear them but they're loose. They don't stick to you even when you are sweaty.

I love these shorts. I thought since I had to size up in my shirts that I should size up in my shorts. My regular size would have fit better. They don't stick to my skin even when I'm sweating.

These shorts are great for casual wear. I can see me getting a lot of use out of them this summer. They'll be good for hikes, casual city walks, running errands, pool or beach days. I like that the back pocket is zippered.

Very comfortable, lightweight, big pocket, quick dry. Perfect for swim team officiating.

These shorts are perfect! I don't like my shorts too short and these are a perfect length for me (5" inseam). I did size up from my normal medium to a large as the medium was a little too snug. I bought several colors! Great for any outdoor activity and camping!

I bought many pairs of these in the 5in seam over the course of several years and they have been perfect for casual summer days, hiking and kayaking/river rafting. I lost weight last year and needed to buy new ones and opted for the 3in; bought several last fall and again this summer. The material overall isn't very stretchy and I wouldn't say it's soft but it is comfortable (with the lone exception of a black pair I bought last fall, completely different material so I returned) and very water resistant. In the past I've gotten black, grey, nocturnal, sea wave, serenity, lichen, a peachy coral color and bright aqua with no issues of them being see-thru (some colors, like the mango and hibiscus (surprisingly), unfortunately were so I returned and I can imagine the lighter peach and pink colors would be). If you want a more looser fit, go up a size but they're pretty true to size and still offer plenty of mobility, and obviously if you want more coverage go with the 5in seam (I do think this length is where people tend to feel it pull across the thighs/hips so size up with this length). For reference I am 5'8" and (currently) about 135lbs and the small is perfect with plenty of mobility.

I bought these shorts in small but returned for medium, they are comfortable and cool for the summer. I sized up because the small was tight on my hips and butt. For reference im 5'2 and 139lbs.

Very comfy shorts! A little lower rise than I was expecting but they don't dig in and the fabric is sturdy. Can't wait to have some summer adventures in these
