Cute but they run a little large
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice fabric but they are a little big. For some reason I ordered a size larger because maybe they were advertised as running small, but anyway, the style is such that I can wear them anyway.

Water Shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are great for the pool/beach/river. I like the pockets and one zipper pocket. I do wish they were a little shorter length in the legs as the picture shows

Not for me
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great material and length. I ultimately returned because they were more mid rise and I prefer high rise. I felt they ran a little small!

Flimsy fabric
Bought two pairs of these because I’ve had Columbia shorts before that. I love this fabric was very flimsy. There is no body to them I returned them. Wish I could find the original style but Columbia doesn’t make them anymore

My favorite shorts
I like the styling, fit, 5 "length and lightweight material. They are perfect for hot weather days while I'm tending to my flower gardens, vacationing at the beach or just running errands. I like them so much that I bought them in 3 colors.
