5.0 out of 5 stars Columbia Shorts that stay up - Great, October 12, 2005

By	Roland J. Provost "VerusEx" (Dover, NH United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very nice light packable and quick drying shorts. Add your own belt and unlike other Columbia shorts you can carry a knife, a cell phone, a PDA , wallet, and change and they still stay up. Also pockets don't sag down below the leg if you keep you change or PDA in them another Columbia problem.

Nicely made very functional shorts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Swim trunks or Flotation gear?, November 7, 2006

By	Ronald Land (Cleveland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In general, I am pleased at the product. However, I did have to make a tailoring adjustment. The leg opening were way too wide at c. 13.5 inches. A jump into the pool and they expanded like floatation gear. When walking about wet, they flapped like bloomers. I had a tailor narrow the leg openings to 10 inches. The problem was solved.

Note that this product is packed with pockets, front and rear. The front pockets have a tendency to turn inside out when swimming. They then have the appearance of small trolling fish nets dragged alone side the trunks. Too bad they don't have a button or zipper. I installed Velcro strips. This solved the problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great water shorts, July 26, 2007

By	F. VALDES Perezgasga "charrin" (Torreon, Mexico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These shorts are lightweight, sturdy, well cut for a number of activities and good enough to wear under any circumstance not just as a water short. The pockets are roomy but certainly a risk as you may be carrying something you don't want to get wet.
