### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    So happy with these shorts!
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2014*

I'm really happy with these shorts.  I'm 5'9", 130-135 lbs (thin, with little to no butt) and size 6 fit perfect.  The cut of the shorts is great.  They don't look baggy and unflattering, but they're not tight either.  And the length is great as well.  Not awkwardly long, but not so short you feel uncomfortable.  They're a good weight of material, too.  Sometimes hiking pant fabric can be very soft/thin, but these are the perfect weight.  Thin enough to be quick drying and cool, but substantial enough to hold up and last.I used these for a camping trip last weekend, which included a day of canoeing, and I don't have any complaints.

    cool feeling shorts
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015*

These are good shorts for hiking outdoors are running errands.  The only issue I had, since they repel water, when it's really hot out and you are sweating, you are pretty much just sitting in our sweat.  Thankfully we don't live where it gets too hot, otherwise I would go with Columbia's other shorts that are more breathable.  But these have been holding up great for me.

    Material is great, light and comfortable
  

*by A***3 on Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2014*

Material is great, light and comfortable.  These run just a little small, I usually wear a 6, have to wear a belt with these 8's but a 6 was snug..  Just a little too short for golf but great for hiking, dog walking in hot weather.  Nice pockets.
