  • AWESOME SHORTS!
Color: Vivid Blue Size: Medium/6" Inseam
I purchased these shorts for my husband to wear out fishing and on the boat and they’re perfect! They’re a great length and the color is stunning! I have washed them over and over and they’ve held up great! They still look brand new! They’re high quality, thick and durable fabric. The zipper on the back is perfect for keeping items safe! ... show more

  • These shorts keep you cool and dry
Color: Vivid Blue Size: Medium/6" Inseam
I have probably had to buy 20 pairs of these for my boys in the last 2 years. These Backcast Columbia shorts are awesome. You can swim in them, fish in them and hang out all casually in them. They arrived in a week not the usual “Prime 2 day” we lived for before the world decided to go nuts. But alas, all good things must come to an end! Oh and the price was great.. 8 bucks off the normal retail of 30.00 ... show more

  • Nice
Color: Vivid Blue Size: Medium/6" Inseam
Nice swim suit, well made, liner elastic is high quality, vented pockets. Only minus is the tie string is a little small. I'm a 35" waist and the medium fit perfect. I've had speedo surf runner shorts in the past and the elastic was shot in a few weeks of mild use. The elastic in these is much thicker and looks like it will hold up better. Time will tell. I don't like the long board shorts, and the length on these is above the knees. ... show more
