    • Columbia Sports PFG shorts.
Size: X-Large/6" Inseam Color: Collegiate Navy
Great fitting and wearing shorts that are suitable for daily wear as shorts or a swim suit. Well made and very comfortable to wear. Durable and holding color well after multiple machine washings.

Size: Large/8" Inseam Color: Cool Grey
It just got delivered today. Don't know what happened. Orders on 12/27/25 and received them 4/2/26. Very odd.

    • 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

Nice, but the lining and belt loops are odd.

    • Men's Shorts For On The Go Men
Size: Medium/6" Inseam Color: Carbon
If you are like me, you wear shorts in NC all year long regardless of the temperatures. My older son gave me a pair to improve my "shorts" collection a year ago. I have to say he made a great choice, and I continued buying these shorts to a factor of (4) pairs so I can change them up with my workout shorts. The fit is awesome, they are waterproof so getting soaked by my grandkids is not an issue, and when I put them back in the drawer, I can simply roll them up. They do not wrinkle which increases the utility of these shorts not to mention the wearability on long backpacking trips. If you buy one pair, go ahead and purchase two or three, because the selection in colors is quite incredible and the pricing is very respectable as well. ... show more

Size: 2X/8" Inseam Color: Black
Beyond comfortable wore three different pair of them to Disney World in Summer like heat and rain kept me cool and dried quickly worked well with my ratchet belt making sure they didn’t slip down while I had my hands full with the kids or our bags.
