Columbia Men's Silver Ridge Cargo Short

I purchased these shorts in every color for my husband and he loves the shorts. Columbia shorts are a light weight for the brutally hot summer days and look so nice on. Awesome quality, you will be thrilled with the purchase.

These Columbia shorts are generally absolutely great. The material is lightweight, but sturdy, the fit is good, and the design is outstanding in terms of being suitable for hiking and traveling. The cargo pockets are large and allow for safely carrying whatever you need on a trip, and one has a zipper, which is great. The only problem - as with any Columbia pants and shorts is that they only have even sizes. If your waist is size 33, like mine, then you are out of luck. Having no choice, I bought size 32, which is smaller than what I normally wear. It is OK, but a little tight in the waist. However, size 34 would be huge. My advice: if your waist size is an odd number (31, 33, 35, etc.), buy a size down. DO NOT buy a larger size unless you are in the process of gaining weight.

These shorts have some great aspects. They are lightweight and quick drying. The pockets are a good size.The waistband has some give, but they should have more. They are comfortable while standing, but they get too tight when I sit down.The right cargo pocket has two design flaws. First, it's rotated around so far to the right that you end up sitting on whatever is in it. Second, it's got this oddly placed single Velcro closure; it's only on the left side of the pocket flap and doesn't keep it shut. It's too small and it's only on one side. There should be two and a bit larger, one on each side of the flap or, if you have to have only one, then it should be in the middle and be much bigger.Having said all that, these are still the best cargo shorts I've found. I had gotten some other cargo shorts from Duluth Trading that I liked a couple years ago, but they changed the design and the color choices so now they don't come in black, really show sweat badly, and aren't really quick drying. The original design of those shorts was better than their new one, but these Columbia shorts are much lighter and quicker drying (and cost less).I have looked around at a bunch of other shorts and can't find any better than these Columbia shorts.

very lightweight, good fit with some stretch in waist, fast drying if they get wet

Awesome shorts. Comfortable, breathable, well-designed pockets, and while the included belt wasn't all that great, swapping it out for a sturdier one resulted in basically perfect shorts.

I wear these day in, day out, when not at work. Comfortable in hot climate. Great value, and long short leg!!

Lots of pockets and I like the built in belt. The khakis color looks smart. Best shorts for the money

They need a phone pocket - or deeper front pockets to put a phone in. Belt loops could be a bit larger to accommodate a real belt. Lightweight, fast drying, good fit, very cool when the temp get in the 90's.

Product fit 1 - 2 sizes smaller than advertised. Had to return so no feedback on the quality of the product.

Excelente producto mejor de lo que esperaba

Me encantó el artículo.

gran producto a buen precio

These shorts are very nice - light weight, comfortable material, and quick drying. I really like that you can pick the length of the shorts. I'm 6' tall 200 lbs with long legs and often shorts look like hotpants on me. The 12 inch version of these come perfectly to the knee, and have enough room in the butt and thigh for people who work out.My only real complaint is that I typically fit a 33 waist in jeans, and I find the 34 waist feels the same. So if you're in between sizes, you want to size up. Other than that, they are perfect for summer wear hiking, walking around, or jogging.
