  • Runs Large
Color: Cirrus Grey Size: 3X/5" Inseam
I liked the light color & because it was loose - my underwear didn’t show through the fabric! Description says “partial elastic waist” & pix shows the drawstrings. The fit around the waist was huge. After I tied the drawstrings to a comfortable fit - the amount of gathers around the waist was just too much. Size down! ... show more

  • Great swim shorts
Color: Atoll Size: 3X/5" Inseam
I bought these to wear over my bathing suit on a River tubing trip. These were great! Dried quickly, and very comfortable!

  • Too long and wide
Color: Red Hibiscus Size: Large/5" Inseam
I love Columbia shorts but find a L 3” inseam is my size. I have long narrow legs, like shorter shorts, and appreciate the comfortable elastic waistband that accommodates weight fluctuations.

  • That material is so uncomfortable!
Color: Red Spark Size: 3X/5" Inseam
Stiff and itchy

  • Causal & Comfortable
Color: Stormy Blue Size: X-Large/5" Inseam
These shorts fits true to size and are comfortable. They are great for everyday wear, but also make great shorts to go out to the or lake in. They are that dry fit type of material, so if you get splashed or put them on over a damp swimsuit, they dry pretty quickly. They do have front pockets and a single zippered back pocket on the right side. ... show more

  • You NEED these shorts!
Color: Cirrus Grey Size: 1X/5" Inseam
10/10 would highly recommend! Fit is a little big but not bad. Love these! They go with everything, can be dressed up or down, super comfortable and quick drying. I personally like the adjustability of the drawstring.
