      I can throw on these shorts when I get home from work and know they will be comfortable and easy to throw in the wash.
      Great for hiking, light bike riding and around water.
      Shorts dry quickly.

          Pockets need to be deeper, or close off more on the open side. Things can fall out of these pockets when you sit down.

            Comments about Columbia Sportswear Plus Size Sandy River Shorts - Women's:

            I love these shorts! I have changed sizes many times due to increasing weight and I always buy a few pairs of these shorts in each size I have been. Right now, I am somewhere in between a 1x and a 2x, but I find the shorts might run a bit large, so I ordered a 1X and they are much more flattering than a 2x. I used to buy the XL misses size, but am now into plus sizes. I have even ordered from the Columbia web site. Columbia has said that they would be getting new colors in this spring and I checked, but only found fuschia to be new and only offering it in Misses sizes, not plus sizes. They thought they might have purple in the spring, but I did not see purple. Very comfortable, versatile, and attractive short. I love taking my long walks in them. I am glad that Campmor offers this short in plus sizes and in decent colors at a reduced price. Thank You.

                Comments about Columbia Sportswear Plus Size Sandy River Shorts - Women's:

                These are a good, versatile activity short. Got pockets, dry very fast. I use them for kayaking, gardening and hanging out. They aren't the most flattering (very boxy leg) but they are very functional. I appreciate the plus size.

                  Matches up with bathing suit colors, rash guard shirt for scuba, and practically everything. Fit is comfy but not too loose.
