Lightweight and great pockets!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are great for multiple outings, but I use mine mainly for inshore fishing. The lightweight is perfect during the warm weather months and the pockets enable me to carry my fishing gloves, sun face mask, hand towel, etc.

Good shorts, bad belt.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shorts are fine. The belt should be tossed aside. I have replaced the belt with a normal belt. The one on the shorts keeps slipping.

Great wicking ability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are confortable and they Wick moisture very well, getting dry quickly. Sweat will show at least on the lighter colors.

You can’t get any better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Silver Ridge cargo shorts have been my favorite for many years. Even though they still are, there are a few changes I wish they had not made. One is changing the left front pocket to be side opening. I will get used to it like to better the other way, straight up. interestingly, enough, they changed the material to some sort of textured one on this particular pair of shorts. Not that it’s bad, just different.

Still solid after all these years
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 40"
I have about 8 pairs of these dating back to when they were called "Titanium". They're the only shorts I own besides gym shorts. Columbia gear is optimized, meaning it provides (by far) the best performance per dollar spent. Good gear without flashy prices because of the name, although the Whirlybird ski jacket I bought in 1992 was pretty flashy.

Disappointed
Well I needed to order some new shorts because of weight loss. I have owned your Sliver Ridge Cargo Shorts for years. First of all I am ok with pocket changes but as some others have mentioned has no velcro on the back pockets. Secondly I really don’t care for the 11/2” belts are to wide and to stiff! If I keep em those belts are gone. Would use a 11/4” military web belt or thinner . Lastly your sizer is way off! It told me I needed to order 38” waist. But my gut told me to order 40” instead. Man I am glad I that I did!
