Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Anytime Outdoor™ Long Short

I bought the green shorts in 20w, and I love the length. I have shorter, black Columbia shorts, but I don't love how they slide up when I'm hiking or biking. These shorts stay put while keeping me dry in the scorching days of summer. They dry very quickly. The color is pretty. The waist is more comfortable to me than the styles with a double snap and no drawstrings. I just have to remember not to throw them in with laundry softener so they last longer. The only downside was the lack of color availability when ordering, but we're in a global pandemic so I get that. Thanks, Columbia! Great product!

I love these lightweight shorts! I recently bought the darkest color and when I am standing up, they come to my knees; I am 5'7" and really like the 13" inseam. The fabric appears to be slightly better quality than last year. I own eight pairs of these shorts which are slightly loose in the upper thigh down to the hem. They wash well and the fabric still looks new even after four years on my other pairs. The zipper and snap work fine, but I do not wear my shirts tucked in, so no one can see that there is also a drawstring, which I tuck inside. They are stitched well, and I have no holes in any of my pockets even after jamming my phone into them. Highly recommend!

perfect fit, I took them to a trip to Spain, and they worked very well

Comfy shorts that are a great length. They come to right above knee.

The fit and fabric of these shorts is spot on! I love the drawstring at the waist to prevent gaping at the back. The fabric is comfortable and stretchy without being clingy. I also like the length which hits at my knee. They are true to size. I am a plus size 22. I plan to order another pair!

Awesome shorts, comfortable, good length, fit true to 18W size.

Everything I hoped for: great fabric, perfect length, well made, pockets, comfortable, quick wash/dry.

This is my 2nd pair! Love the fit so I ordered a 2nd pair. Never shows creases from sitting. No crawl. High quality product! I am 5'4" 200 lbs. a 16W fits perfectly.

Absolutely love these! The material is so soft and stretchy and comfortable and they actually look really great. I will wear these everywhere. In fact I just came back to buy another pair!

I am a plus size and these fit great. They also launder well and pack light. I am taking two pair to Australia. I also have the capri version of these as well.

Shorts are lightweight and comfortable. The length is perfect for those looking for a modest length. Great to travel because the fabric releases any wrinkles.

These are perfect shorts! A little stretch, accurate sizing, and a great length. These are my go to shorts this summer. I bought them for travel and they are perfect for that. I thought the legs were slightly wide so I took the in just a tiny amount (totally my weirdness )

I love these shorts. True to size, not baggy, just the right length. I ordered the black and as soon as they arrived, I ordered them in gray.

These are my go-to shorts for summer hiking. Great for a quick laundry and dry while camping. I buy a couple new pairs at the beginning of the season and retire a few pairs to gardening. Long lasting.

I love these shorts. They are cool, dry quickly, are sturdy and well made, and priced competitively. I love the length. Not too short and not too long.

I love these long shorts. They have been great for hiking. I sweat and they dry so quickly. So far the snap stays. I wish the inside of the pocket wasn't netting. My phone gets wet through the holes from me sweating. Other than that they are super comfortable and cool.

Great all around short. Lightweight. Easy care. Nice length

Great all around short. Lightweight and easy care

Love these shorts. Lightweight and comfortable. My new go-to over the jean short especially when it's hot and humid. Flattering.

Great all around shorts, easy packable, light weight, right amount of stretch, dry quickly. Very comfortable.

Practical and comfortable. The fit was as expected. No regrets.

These are my go to short!!! Size down when you buy!

Perfect length and the material is great! They're not stiff or thick. I wore them on an extremely hot & humid day and I felt great!!

Thin and durable, these are my 4th and 5th pairs! Not hot, not binding, just right!

LOVE THESE! Have purchased several pairs for several years. Wears well, Tru to size and dries quickly.
