  • Great all around short

Very comfortable

  • Delivered quickly, sizes were perfect! Great shorts
Color: Black Size: Medium/8" Inseam
I have been wearing these shorts since Columbia first introduced them. After years of enjoying them a couple of pair needed to be replaced. I had been ordering direct from Columbia but they sent two pair that were labeled correctly but were way too small. I had to place a new order, and pay the return shipping, to get credit for defective shorts. This order arrived perfectly and the shorts are terrific. ... show more

  • quick dry shorts!
Color: Black Size: Medium/8" Inseam
I have a height of about 176cm and waist size of 31 inches and I bought the medium sized 8 inch length. It fits perfectly, and the shorts end about one palm above the knee. There is two side pockets, one zippered pocket in the back and another small side pocket for quick access to smaller items. I wouldn't recommend placing anything too valuable in there, as it is "quick access" and could potentially fall out easily if you were on the move. These shorts dry super quickly. I was cycling in a heavy drizzle, and I could feel the shorts getting rather wet, as it was sticking to my thighs. However, when the drizzle stopped, I continued cycling to my destination, and in about 5 minutes of pedaling, and with the wind drying the shorts, I realized that my shorts were dry when I arrived. Only complaint I have is the inner mesh lining of the shorts are not that comfortable for when I am seated on the bike and pedaling for long periods. It cuts into the groin area and I have to adjust my seating position or the shorts every once in a while, for cycling trips that last over 30 minutes. However these shorts are not biking pants, so that's an unfair judge for it's true comfort level. ... show more

These shorts do it all. They can be worn fishing, swimming or pair with a polo for a summer vacation dinner. Truly a one stop shop.
