My favorite shorts[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are amazing. They fit perfectly, lay flat on the front, and are a great length (7"). I am 5'3" and 130 lbs, wearing a medium. I have 4 pairs of these shorts and 3 pairs of the pants in the same style. I have several other Columbia shorts styles, as well as Ex Officio and Kuhl, which I love, but these are by far my favorites. They stretch and move, don't sag, and don't have a bunch of loops and buckles sticking out. I have hiked and climbed in them & been happy at the end of the day.

A Must Have for the Active GalCan't say enough about the quality and craftsmanship that goes into Columbia's women's shorts. Almost my entire summer wardrobe consists of Columbia shorts - they are that good. Material and fit is excellent. I like that these are pull on shorts. They fit well in the waist. I have a similarly styled pair I bought last year, and I live in them. They are comfortable, and the leg length is perfect. Great short for riding my bike around town. They are fitted in the leg but not restrictive (I am a runner and cyclist and have muscular legs). Buy yourself at least one, if not two pairs of these. They are that good.

Love these shorts!![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are one of the most comfortable pair of shorts I have ever bought!! Did size up since Columbia does run small for me and they fit perfect. I run a little thicker in the hip and thigh area .. lol

Snug fit[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a couple of the Anytime Skorts, so I thought the shorts would be equallty as flattering. While the Medium fit OK (I'm 5'4" and 145 lbs), they were a little too snug for my liking, especially with having no pockets in the back. I'm not a fan of visible panty lines, so I returned them. I think the Large would be too baggy.

Found My Favorite Shorts[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easily my favorite shorts! Pull on with wide waistband. No zippers or buttons to catch on anything; No Velcro to snag other clothes in the washer. Pockets in front, because that’s a must! The 7’ length is modest without being “old lady”. Not just for hiking! Can wear all day from morning walks to errands and working in the yard. Change out your boots or sneakers for sandals and they’re good for casual dinner. Only wish is to have more color options. I have them all!

Not comfy[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn’t find the material comfy nor did I think the high waist was functional as it’s too high on the waist and while I like high waisted bottoms this was too high and tight. The hips were even tighter, I guess I have a typical women’s body. Material felt scratchy and not soft. I was very disappointed and have returned it. If you have any curves order a size up.

Great simple short[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has become my go-to short for lounging around the house or working in the yard. Just pull on and go. No weird buttons or pockets to get in the way, almost fits like a pair of workout shorts. I probably could have gotten a small (5'2"/108 lbs) but the XS fits fine for my purposes. I ordered the Pond color, different, but nice.

Cute and comfy![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are great for just about any activity. I am 5'10 with long legs, and they are just long enough where I feel like I can actually exercise in them without them riding up in an uncomfortable way. I really wish they had back pockets though both for storage and to hide panty line, since I have a curvier butt (which is why I docked them one point in the "function" category). Aside from that, I like them and will probably purchase more colors.
Would these make a decent swim short? I would think so ...
Asked by: Loribe
Hey there Loribe, thanks for the question! I don't see why these wouldn't make good swim shorts. They feature UPF 50 sun protection, and the nylon elastane make-up should allow them to dry very quickly. I hope this helps!
