Customer Reviews Columbia Sandy River™ Short

I bought these shorts to do The Narrows hike in Zion. They were perfect. They provided good coverage and the quick drying feature made sure I was never cold throughout the day. Definitely will be purchasing in other colors in the future.

Sandy river shorts are excellent . True to size and I love th e breathable fabric

These shorts are comfortable. Love them.

I love these shorts. They are cute, lightweight, and comfortable. Love them so much I have 4 pairs.

I have these shorts in a couple colors now, but the red is my favorite. They do run a little small, but nothing terrible. I am usually between Small and Medium, but being pregnant I ordered a Large and I am glad I did otherwise there is no way. They are slightly see-through, but that also means they are light and airy. I love them for going to the zoo or the beach with my toddler!

Loved my Columbia shorts with elastic waistband and went looking for more. Unfortunately, they were sold out of everything in my size and length (L, 5-inch). Would gladly buy more if I could find them.

These are comfy and fairly water resistant. Dry quickly. I ordered the longer size and am happy with everything. I'd recommend and buy them again.

I purchased these shorts for our trip to Palo Duro Canyon. One of the hikes we visited went up 600ft in elevation and throughout the hike, the shorts did not ride up or fall down. The ground temperatures during the hike were 174 degrees, and the shorts stayed dry during the whole hike. Overall, I was very impressed with these shorts that I decided to buy two more pairs.

I bought a L in the gray color and it fits perfectly. (I normally wear size 8-10 in women pants.) I like how the back pocket has a zipper. I took them rafting and after jumping in and getting them fully wet, they dried super quickly. They are also super lightweight and comfy.

These shorts are great! I work at a tennis center and in summer it's HOT. We aren't allowed to wear the typical athletic/gym shorts and khakis in the summer aren't comfortable. These shorts are perfect mix of both for me!

As someone who *hates* wearing shorts, these have been a life saver. The fit is great. Not too tight/short - modern, functional and cute. They keep me nice and cool on the hottest days! I will be buying more for sure!

Love these shorts! They do run a little small tho...wish I would've got a size up

I've loved these shorts for years. Very durable and the best part- pockets!

I own 4 pairs of these Columbia shorts. They are made with quality material and have 3 pockets total. The larger front pockets are functionable and well-sized. They are comfortable, easily cleaned, and the elastic waistband is soft and non-restrictive. These are my favorite shorts for casual, hobby, and sport activities... Fit true to size (5'4", 135#; size M)

Got one pair, then bought another. Love the many pockets--including one that zips. Light, airy fabric, non-clingy, not see-through, waist stays in place. I'm 5'4", 140 lbs and like the medium. Will wear all summer.

These shorts are my absolute favorite! Being outside and on the water often, these shorts are a must have. They are comfy, quick dry, and functional. Pretty much all I wear during spring/summer. You won't be disappointed with these!

Love these short they are so comfortable, easy to clean, wash and hang to dry! Just the right length for doing work around the yard and going out!

Perfect summer shorts! Lightweight and comfortable! I have 4 pairs and love them! Great deep pockets.

These are my favorite hiking shorts!

I love the lightweight material of these shorts! They are quick-drying, great for hiking and being on the water. I ordered the 5-inch length which was perfect, and the legs are nice and roomy. So happy with this purchase! The printed ones are super cute, too!

I ordered these shorts in bright poppy and city grey - both in 5"/ Large and I love them. The colors go well with every shirt I pair with them, and are perfect for a long summer day. They're comfortable, cute and are made well. I can't speak for the 3" ones, however, 5" is perfect for my body type. They don't ride up and don't rub against my leg in an uncomfortable way like some shorts have in the past. I recommend these shorts for any summer plans you have!

These are great shorts for every day, hiking, paddling or whatever. Being a mom I have to have comfortable shorts that I can be on the ground in and move easily in an these are perfect!

I am a lifeguard supervisor at a waterpark which requires me to walk a lot and be outside for 12 hours a day. These are incredibly comfortable and I love them. Super cool and the elastic waistband is 10/10. Highly recommend!

These are great summer shorts! Great for working out or just relaxing.

Love these shorts. Can't get enough of them. They look great and are great quality.
