  • Great product
Size: 2X Color: Tusk
My wife loves the product and comfortable to wear

  • My favorites
Size: Medium Color: Nocturnal
These Columbia Sandy River Cargo shorts are my favorite brand & style of shorts. They fit perfectly, aren't too long or too short, and are very comfortable. My only gripe is the price; I refuse to pay the high price most stores sell them for, and even though the price on Amazon is lower, it's still a bit steep for shorts. I will say though, they're very durable; I've had a couple pair for many years and I wear them constantly throughout the year -- and they're still in very good shape. I do wish they were easier to find and had more colors available; there were many colors shown on Amazon but only 2 actually available. Not sure where to find the other colors in retail stores. **UPDATE:** A few other colors became available recently in my size, so I order a pair in the 'Light Lichen' color, which looks like a light greenish/blue in the picture. While the fit and fabric were perfect as usual, the color was not what I expected. They're much darker and more green than the picture, more of a light/medium army green. Plus I noticed they lowered the price $10 the day after I ordered them! :-( ... show more

  • Love this style but don't like the lighter accent stitching
Size: Small Color: Nocturnal
I practically live in Columbia shorts during spring, summer and fall, and I really like the Sandy River cargo shorts I already have. Since I also have a pair of the regular Sandy River shorts in Nocturnal, I thought I'd try the cargo version. Unfortunately, I had no idea these had lighter accent stitching, as I couldn't tell from the item picture. They fit fine and the color is accurate, but the lighter stitching makes them look, well, a bit dorky on me. But the quality is good and shipping was very fast. I do recommend this style of shorts, just not in this color. I will be returning them. ... show more

  • Perfect shorts!
Size: 2X Color: Black
Ordered size 2x and I am so happy with the fit and ordered two more. I typically wear a size 16w jeans and these are perfect! They aren’t tight, leg opening provides lots of room for movement. These will be perfect for swimming or everyday wear. The waist has good amount of elastic on the back and the belt is perfect to customize the fit at waist. For reference I’m 5’5” and weigh 230lbs. ... show more

  • Size details
Size: 2X Color: Nocturnal
I initially bought the 3X. They fit but feel baggy as well as droopy in the inseam. I bought the 2X and they are just right. Not too tight, not loose, and fit properly in the crotch. I am 5’4”, 234#. Shaped like a watermelon with arms and legs.

  • comfortable shorts, but not what i would consider "cargo" shorts
Size: X-Large Color: Tusk
these shorts are comfortable and true to size, are a reasonably soft lightweight fabric, and the color is accurate to the product images. i haven't taken them out hiking yet, so i can't say whether they ride up or not, but they were comfortable and cool enough to run errands in on a 90° day. however as cargo shorts, these are not good. they only have four pockets, only two of which are serviceable for anything but a tube of lip balm. the zippered pockets are tiny and the openings are barely big enough to fit two fingers through to get things out of it. the two larger pockets can fit a phone well enough, but the opening is so wide and the pockets shallow so that the second you sit down, everything in your pocket is falling out. there are no pockets on the back of the shorts. ... show more

  • Very Comfortable!
Size: Large Color: Tusk
I love these shorts. I did go up a size from what I normally wear from reading other reviews stating they have no stretch or give. They're just a little big but a size smaller would have been too tight. Super light, great for super hot days.

  • Ok but but not really cargo shorts
Size: 2X Color: Black
Fit is baggy and unflattering, the 2x is fine for 18W pant size but is poofy around crotch. Not really cargo shorts, my wallet barely fits in the pocket. Probably would fit better if it had actually come with the belt, apparently QA/QC at Columbia has gone down hill.
