To small and stuff
Awful! They are stiff and uncomfortable to sit in. The black ones run smaller than the other colors. But each color is about a size to small. I usually wear a small or a medium in Columbia bottoms and the mediums are all snug.

Ok shorts
These shorts are ok. They don't have much stretch to them and they are not soft. I'm not returning them, but I won't be purchasing another pair.

Awesome shorts!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable and breathable shorts! They dry super quick too, which is a plus if you ever get caught in the rain or if you sweat a lot.

Outdoor Enthusiast Wardrobe Staple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great short overall. Lightweight and comfortable, although I wish they had a bit more stretch. Perfect for outdoor activities and wearing around town. I prefer these to competitors' versions.

Perfect Summer Shorts!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shorts! They are very lightweight which makes them perfect for summer activities. I love to wear mine hiking, kayaking, long walks on the beach or really any outdoor activity. They keep me cool and they are very quick to dry if I’m sweaty or if it’s raining. They’re the perfect summer short!
