Customer Reviews Columbia Anytime Outdoor™ Long Short

I already have two pair but my dig bit a hole in one, so I bought two more. They are king snd I'm tall and need more length. These shorts are comfortable and I'm living in an RV this winter. Washer and dryer is fine.

I am a true size 2 but these shorts I can barely button. Also, slightly low rise.

Disappointed! These shorts fit tighter than my Size 6 Capri's, returning for Size 8

Too small. Nice material.

The original shorts that I bought a few years ago would get a 5-star rating. I love them, get so many compliments. I wanted more color options, so I ordered the EXACT SAME size. But they are not the same size! The waist is over an INCH smaller!!! Now I have to pay for the return shipping on what I thought would be the same product. Not a good decision Columbia. Sizing should never go smaller.

These long shorts were tight compared to the other two I purchased, same size. I kept them because I will be wearing them next year on my trip and hopefully will have lost weight.

Have these shorts in many colors. The gray were the only ones that weren't true to size. They were very snug. Disappointed.

I have three other pairs of these shorts. They have changed the pattern. The waist is more of a low rise and the leg opening are weird at the knees. It is disappointing because they used to have a nice cut and rise to the waist

I have the pant version of the Anytime Outdoor and they're great. Love the fabric and they're very comfortable. Figured I would love the shorts too but the sizing for these is way off. I bought an 8 and a 10 because I wasn't sure what I'd need (my AO pants are 10's but are a bit loose on me). The 8's were too tight and the 10's were huge! I had to send them both back.

Like the color, fabric was nice but the waist band was too tight. I tried sizing up and still very uncomfortable with an athletic build. Had to return them.

I had to return these because your sizing changed since I bought my first two pair. I noticed they're not made in the same country as before. The former metal snap is now plastic. The fit doesn't seem to be the same.

I need high waisted shorts and pants. These are low risers. Size was fine; just short waisted. Ugh.

Order 2 sizes bigger than you need! These sizes have changed!

I was happy to get me a different color in my old pair of these however very sad to say it's tighter and the material isn't as comfortable and airy. I'm so disappointed.

I had to go up two full sizes from my usual size. Plus the rise is lower, so for a woman, the fit just didn't work even when I sized up.

I bought a few of these 2 years ago and wanted 2 more. The new ones run extremely small. I usually wear size 6. I tried 6, 8 and 10 they were all too small. I still weigh the same as I did 2 years ago. These are my favorite shorts but I am very unhappy with the new ones.

I have 4 pairs all have the same material (stretchy) on the waist so when I ordered 2 new pairs in the same size as the rest of the ones I had they were way to tight and the waist was not stretchy at all! Sent back and will look elsewhere!

These were my go to shorts for so long. They've completely changed the way they fit in the waist. They were stretchy before snd super comfortable. now they are so tight (same size) with zero stretch. So sad I really loved these shorts.

Like the other reviewers, I am so disappointed. I have been wearing these shorts for years and decided to order two more pairs. They are much smaller and do not fit. The inseam is shorter and a lot smaller on the waist. So disappointed!!! Is Columbia trying to save money and shortchanging on materials?? Columbia Customer Service was very nice and sending me a return label to return the two pairs at no cost. They realize there is an issue with these shorts with many other individuals as well.

Way too small and I went up a size. Fabric too hot.

I have 4 pairs of these shorts that I bought 2 years ago. I love love love them. I wanted to add more colors to my wardrobe so I ordered the new colors in the same size that I had. They were not as I expected. They have resized these shorts so I ordered the next bigger size. Same problem. What have you done with your sizing?? Now I have to take back my second ordered pair.

I thought I was buying the same long shorts that I bought previously. They are exactly the same but the waist is not at all stretchy and makes no room as the list pair.

I have several pairs of these shorts and they fit me fine, but with this new order , ordering the same size, they did not fit too small, very disappointed return them and complained but I still had pay the return shipping. If there sizing changed they should let their customers know, l will no longer do business with Columbia

I really like it but the size is not correct it is extremely small and the waist too tight...I need to order size 10 when I am usually size 4 or 6

I have the black and navy shorts (side 2) and love them. Super comfortable. I ordered the gray and though they look the same, they are not the same shorts. First the waist is at least an inch smaller with absolutely NO stretch. The navy and black fit slightly loose with the stretch waist. The gray has a rigid waist band that doesn't have any stretch. I could not even get the gray ones up over my hips. Fit is TOTALLY different. Very disappointed as i do love the navy & black and was excited to get the gray.
