Customer Reviews Columbia Anytime Outdoor™ Long Short

Way to go Columbia! The materials that you are using for this style of short is better than previous years. I have been buying this style of short since 2015 and I own 9 pairs in different colors. I bought the black in July and so far they have washed and dried with no pilling. This is a great relief! I received the city grey the other day. I like the color better than the light grey that was offered in previous years. Please continue to make this style of short. If you offer more colors that would be great.

I am totally satisfied! When I have them on they move with me. I lost some weight and was looking for a great fit and I found just what I was looking for. They wash up so nicely. I am ordering another pair when back in stock.

I love these shorts. They fit perfectly, true to size (some Columbia pants are sized generously), and comfortable! I like the drawstring as an addition to the waist, although in one of my pairs of these shorts the cord got twisted in the dryer & has never laid flat since. It's a minor annoyance. Good length, good pockets too.

My new favorite shorts. Lightweight, flattering shape and a great length.

It was nice to find shorts that cover just over the knee--if fact this is the only place I've found just a thing. It's the perfect length for me. That the shorts are also extremely water resistant, light weight, and comfortable were a plus.

I love these shorts. I like the longer length, the stretch, and the dry wicking. They are super light and comfortable. I will be purchasing more of these. Another great feature of these shorts is the draw string. I have a small waist but am thick in the thighs so these shorts are perfect for my body type.

These shorts are awesome! They are super comfortable, light weight, and easy to move in. They are definitely my new favorite shorts to wear! The size runs a little big. I normally wear a size 10 sometimes even a size 12 in other shorts. I order a 10 and had to return them, they looked too baggy. The return process was easy and painless. The size 8 fits great!

These are true to size; so comfortable. Fast dry if they happen to get wet; looks good. Quality is what I expect from Columbia. I have already purchased these in several colors.

These are my favorite shorts! Very comfortable and definitely worth every penny.

Love these shorts. I bought 3 pair because they fit me so well. I'm a little older and will only wear longer shorts. I'm also thin and these shorts don't swallow me but aren't too snug either. They're casual and comfortable and give a smooth tailored look. I live in the PNW and took them to the beach along the Washington coast. Paired with a few tee shirts and hoody, these were almost all I needed. They're also great around town everyday!

Love the shorts. They are a good length and very comfortable without. Light and cool.

These shorts are my go to during hot and humid days. They are so light and comfortable. They also wash and dry beautifully. I remove them from the dryer after just a few minutes on delicate as it removes wrinkles. I wear sz 10 and am 125 lbs, 5'3" pear shape if that helps. These shorts run a little large but I like them roomy.

I have ordered that outdoor short via Columbia web site. I just hesitated only about the size (12 size) , bit it fitted perfect. This short is very comfortable and I really liked it.

I'm in love with these shorts! I have been looking for comfortable, lightweight, long shorts forever for a long time. These shorts were exactly what I've been searching for! They give me plenty of room through the legs without looking baggy or sloppy. I'm 63 years old, 5'7" and weigh 142 lbs. I bought large and they fit perfectly. I purchased the black pair and was so pleased with them that I purchased the navy as well! I also got them on a sale so that was an extra plus. The delivery was very fast and free when I signed up as a member! I'll be ordering these shorts again!

I bought these long shorts for our trip to Norway and they were so great for packing light, not wrinkling and so easy to spot clean or wash! They fit perfectly and were so comfortable I ordered another pair in a different color!

I love these capri's, I've now have four pair and waiting for the fifth pair to arrive. So comfortable to wear, they look great on, and were perfect in hot 94 degree weather with high humidity!

Love love love these shorts. Very comfortable. Wish they have more colors.

I bought these shorts for a camping/kayaking trip and they were perfect! The are lightweight, repel water, and dry very quickly, which is a great advantage when you get wet in the river. Thanks for making such great shorts (this is my third pair).

Love this product. Ordered one and liked the fit so I ordered two more in different colors. I am 5" 6' 140 lbs and I ordered size 10. It fit perfect.

These shorts fit great and were really comfortable to wear. I am taking mine on a trip to Spain. Long enough to be suitable in public spaces there. I bought a tan and now I am ordering a gray. They dry really fast and are very light weight. The pockets work great for my phone. Nice!

Have loved these shorts for years now. Great, modest, flattering length. Can do any and all summer activities in these! Unmatched stretch!

I love the Anytime Outdoor line and have the pants, capris in several different colors and now have 2 pair of the shorts. The fit is so flattering, they travel and wash beautifully, and are comfortable on hiking trails or around city streets. They did seem tighter cut than the capris so I went up one size from my normal 8. A little looser fit is comfortable for me in the heat of the summer, especially when exercising. Two small things I'd add -- the snaps on all these capris and shorts is so difficult, so tight, I am constantly afraid I will pull them out of the fabric (others have mentioned this too) -- and also I would love a loop on inside of waistband for hanging up when you come home from exercising or hiking. The material does start to show pilling after a year of wear and washing, but I found my pill shaver did a great job and now things look like new. Thank you for comfortable, stylish clothing that is flattering on a 70 year old!

I have these but also in the Capri style. Love, Love them! For walking & hiking, especially in the extreme warm weather works so well & are so comfortable & actually stylish with Columbia shirts. I paired these with the Summer Ease Popover Tunic in coral stripe- perfect! (My views are not based on sweepstakes entry)
