All Weather Men's Shorts
Excellent pair of men's shorts that look good, proper fit, water repellant, great rang of colors, and excellent pockets. I have four pairs to date, and will definitely continue to order these shorts....since I wear them all year round in North Carolina.

Versatile and well made
I bought these for a trip to Europe and they were more useful than I expected. I used them for shorts walking around town, as swim trunks when I had a chance to take a dip, and as sleepwear when it was a bit too chilly to go full-on commando. Fabric dries fast and doesn't wrinkle. Worth the price.

Comfortable, Reliable, and Ready for Any Splash
My husband has gone through his fair share of water shorts, but these shorts have earned a permanent spot in his rotation. They’re lightweight, quick-drying, and surprisingly durable, even after countless washes and beach trips. The fit is comfortable without being baggy, and the fabric holds up beautifully whether he’s fishing, kayaking, or just lounging by the pool. If there’s one small note, it’s that the sizing runs just a touch roomy, so if you’re between sizes, you might want to size down. Other than that, these shorts check all the boxes: breathable, functional, and stylish enough that he’s worn them off the dock too. In short, these are the kind of shorts you end up buying in multiples because once you try them, you realize they’re the summer staple you didn’t know you needed.

Solid Enough But Not Perfect
It’s a good swimsuit. It has a roomy fit. Solid construction. You’re not gonna wow anyone with how it looks and that’s ok. It looks like a swimsuit. The front pockets are deep, enough to hold my iPhone. The little side pocket is fairly superfluous. And there is a zipper on the back pockets. There are belt loops, solid usable belt loops. I have three problem with this suit. The side pockets don’t stay in, I am constantly tucked them back in. It’s a little stiff after drying, it could be softer. And, the mesh lining crowds on the twig and berries a bit too much, it can be too uncomfortable. I would buy this one again when it’s time for me to replace my current suits.

Excellent everyday short
Being retired, this is the only brand/short my husband wears daily. He works out in them, swims in them, and simply wears all day long. Hard to find in basic/popular colors unless you pay full price. Never on sale they are so popular. Hubby loves the comfort of the mesh insert. Easy wash and dry, they last for years!

the real deal - "Omni-Shade" ultra fast drying, now with belt loops
Columbia Men's Backcast III Water Short: The real deal. They're even "Omni-Shade"! I'm so glad to find these available again after being MIA for a decade. They FIT, they look good, they're ultra-fast drying. And the pockets are deep enough so stuff won't fall out at the beach. Additionally, these are the first pair I've seen with belt loops. This is great because the elastic on prior pairs all eventually wore out. I'm stocking up in various colors in case they become unavailable again.

Exceptional Shorts
I’m not a liner guy so I cut the liners out of these. Have them in 7 colors all the 8 inseam. They are great for everything from running and swimming. I even wear them to work we have a lax dress code. Great pockets even zippered back pocket a side pocket that’s perfect for my pocket knife. Probably the best all around shorts I own or have ever owned. Unbeatable for the price.

Excellent shorts which also dry quickly. Even though I took the shorter version they are still long and come down to just above the knees. The pocket and belt loops come in handy if you need to attach things.

El short es perfecto, las proporciones están correctas y el color padrísimo. Definitivamente es una prenda para bañarse pues no se pega al cuerpo cuando sales del agua y a pesar de tener color claro no se transparenta. Recomendado ampliamente.

Excelente pantalón, que se pude utilizar de bañador perfectamente y de secado bastante rápido, en cuanto al tallaje hay que tener en cuenta que este pantalón talla muy grande, yo utilizo normalmente una talla L, y en este modelo con una talla S, me queda perfectamente.
