  • Best shorts out there
Size: Medium/6" Inseam Color: White Cap
Love the PFG shorts! I have at least a dozen pair. They last for years and hold color well. When you are outside in hot humid, weather fishing or playing sports. They take a very long time to soak thru when wet. You don’t have wet looking clothes on. Zip back pickets are we lined and the zippers last. Draw strings are durable and long enough. I love that there are different lengths available. For as long as they last, still looking great, they are a value buy. Front pockets are deep, and the little fishing knife pocket behind the right front pocket is perfect. ... show more

  • Great short but no small cargo pocket.
Size: Medium/8" Inseam Color: Black
Great short for everyday outdoor use. They did away with the small side cargo pocket which I found useful. Otherwise five stars.

  • Excellent quality and soft
Size: Large/6" Inseam Color: Fossil
So comfy! Very soft material, I was buying my son some more of his beloved pfgs that he has worn for the last 5 to 6 years and I didn't know what they were called, but I winged it and these are great. He is a very picky guy. But these, he loves.

  • perfect for my ocean beach hobby wear - great fit & stretch - ultra fast drying- belt loops too
Size: X-Large/8" Inseam Color: Carbon
Columbia Men's Backcast IV Water Short (carbon): They FIT, they look good, they're ultra-fast drying. And the pockets are deep enough so stuff won't fall out at the beach. Belt loops! They're great because the elastic on belt-less prior pairs all eventually wore out. I'm stocking up in various colors in case these become unavailable again. ... show more
