Tackle trail days or town strolls in the Flex ROC Shorts—casual, durable, and adventure-ready

From campsite coffee to impromptu scrambles, the Columbia Flex ROC Shorts are built for everyday versatility in the outdoors. Blending casual style with technical function, these shorts handle our off-grid weekends and around-town missions with equal ease.


The cotton-blend canvas offers reliable durability with just enough stretch to keep us moving freely, whether we’re hauling gear or just kicking back. A partial elastic waistband and utility-style pockets add comfort and function, and the clean design makes them a go-to for everything from morning hikes to post-trail brewery runs.

Customer Images

Here's what customers have to say

The shorts are well-made with quality materials and features like a secure zipper pocket. Customers praise the great fit, comfort, and versatility, mentioning wearing them for various activities. The 8-inch inseam provides good coverage, though some find the waist runs slightly large. The fabric can attract lint, and the cellphone pocket may be too small for larger phones. Overall, these appear to be a reliable and popular choice of shorts.

Comfortable, great fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not a brand loyal kind of guy, but after my first pair of Columbia shorts, I was hooked. Comfortable and great fit. The flex shorts are great.

Sleek and sturdy, the best of both worlds!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic shorts! Stretchy but tough, without that glossy sheen you get on some "flex fabrics". The side pocket is the perfect place to keep a knife or box cutter, leaving your other pockets free. And the zip pocket comes in clutch when you need some extra security for your valuables! Stylish, and with just enough extra storage to make other shorts feel inadequate while retaining a sleek form factor, these shorts are equally at home on the job site or strolling down the Champs Elysee!
