Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Short

Short waisted, hip hugger, short inseam, pulled at crotch

The shorts I received run very small. Size XL is not 16-18, more like 10-12. I sent them back today. Too bad I liked the shorts and the material.

You get what you pay for. These shorts are very inexpensive and they feel and look it. I ordered a large, I usually wear an 8, but was concerned they would be too short in a medium. These were odd fitting, very much too large, and are not nice at all.

I am a size 12, size 31 in jeans. Per the size chart-- I should have ordered a size L, I wanted them to be a little roomy for our river trip and decided to order the XL. I can't even get the XL over my booty! The fabric feels high quality and I wish these would have ran TTS.

These didn't work for me. I wear size 8 everywhere. I'm 5'6", weigh 142 lbs, measurements are 34" x 30" x 40" and the Large was too big and Medium was too small. It's a shame. I really wanted these to fit.

I am really surprised by the poor quality of these shorts. I have a pair of similar shorts from Columbia that I bought a few years ago that I really like and wanted to get another pair. The quality of the fabric and the fit are like night and day compared to the older shorts. They are also very tight in the crotch, and I am afraid that they will shrink when washed. I bought two pair and I am returning both.
