Customer Reviews Columbia Backcast™ Water Shorts

These nylon shorts are great for warm weather. They fit true to size and are my new "go to" when doing fun, outdoor activities!

Comfortable!

i love these water shorts!! they are the best to work in and my favorite to wear all summer along!!

Fits as described. Comfortable and packs well for travel.

I love the comfortable fit I have with these shorts, I own three pair now.

Perfect fit, comfortable fabric, and it doesn't bunch up

these are nice color and quality and fit nice and a great price

Cool lightweight for any occasion They are the best

These shorts were exactly what I'd hoped and read they would be. I am very satisfied with the quality of the material and stitching. Color is slightly more vibrant than anticipated (more neon), but I still like it!

This is very good quality priduct for outdoor living

Love these shorts as longer so can wear anywhere. Order your normal size as they run big.

These shorts are proof of Columbias guaranteed workmanship. The Large shorts turned out to be slightly bigger than usual so I exchanged it for a smaller size. The durable fabric, comfortable fit, color, 3 mesh-lined pockets, and drawstring makes it ideal for warm outdoor activities.

These shorts deliver on every level! Comfy, perfect length and exactly what I was looking for. The color is cool and classy and the fabric! Bought them for a trip to Indonesia because they're easy to wash and quick to dry, but these are going to be my daily go-to in my Hawaiian home.

I just received these shorts last week and I love them! They are super cute and very comfortable, and quite flattering.

I have a couple of these and they are great. I'm a size 10 and ordered a medium.

Perfect shorts for hiking, fishing, and water sports. I purchased size M my usual size. They are a perfect fit. I am 5'2" 134 lbs. I typically wear size 8 Gap jeans. They fit as pictured. I ordered 3 pair. All the colors are as pictured. These shorts are well made, elastic waist with drawstring. Two large mesh pockets on either side and a large zippered back pocket. The fabric is 100% nylon structured not stretchy. They are light, airy, and dry quickly. These are perfect for any indoor or outdoor activities. They pair well with Columbia rash guards. I'm so happy I found these.

I am between a large and XL in most shorts, but these large are perfect fit for me. Length is about 1/2 inch longer than the Sandy River shorts that claim same length. Pockets are deeper than most women's shorts, so my phone does not fall out! Fabric is quick-dry and that is helpful for sweaty activities.

Love the fabric- nylon. It is refreshing not to have polyester. The fit is as expected.

So happy with these shorts that I immediately came back and ordered 3 more in different colors. Love the fit, colors, lightweight, spf rating and great pockets to boot!

Fits true to size. Comfy and lightweight. I was greatly disappointed with the waste in shipping. I ordered two shorts. Each one came a few days apart. One in an appropriate envelope. One in a very large box that could of held a winter coat.

Obsessed with my new purple shorts! Comfy, cooling, perfect length for running around and bending down.

I purchased these based on quality and sizing of OTHER products I was familiar with. Was VERY happily surprised with these shorts. They are SO comfortable re: fit, fabric texture, the elastic waist with tie, and they're so breathable! A tiny bit longer in the legs, and a bit more relaxed fit than my Columbia "Sandy" shorts, and belted cargo-pocket hiking shorts of the same size. Mesh-lined front hand pockets are nice and deep, so my phone doesn't fall out when I sit down! :D Zippered back pocket is a nice touch, perfect for fishing license or other important items. I appreciate this soft "gray" color as it goes with any colored tops, and wouldn't easily show dirt when spending time camping, fishing, or other outdoor activities! :D

Most comfortable and best fitting shorts. They are perfect to Dress up or down.

I work in on boats in lakes and need some quick drying shorts and these live up to it. I've gotten them soaking wet and they dry in no time at all.

Great shorts. I love the fit and the color I chose
