These shorts have tough material, yet very thin and light. This is generally best for hot weather and those people who don't like to wear heavy material. Waist is comfortable, just as description states. I like the slightly wider waist band, as it doesn't feel rope thin when sitting.
I use them for kayaking, so I wear them under a swimsuit bottom or swim tights.
They are not flattering at all. They have a boxy look to them, where the leg part just hangs down nearly straight from the waist, with no definition to the body, and definitely does not compliment the body. I may alter them to help with this issue. So, for the price, there should be a more feminine look to them vs. buying men's water shorts. For this reason, I do not recommend these shorts to others. I can buy men's water shorts for alot cheaper.

I wore these throughout Belize & Guatemala - in high humidity and no washing machines! I'd handwash 'em late in the evening, and they'd be dry the next morning! I also scrambled through streams and over rocks, and they showed very little wear and tear! Several women in our group lamented not having clothing made out of this fabric, so easy care and quick-drying.

I can't wait to wear these this summer. I already think I'm going to buy another pair or two for my trip to the Canadian rockies.

They shorts are lightweight and comfy. Will be great for hiking and water expeditions while camping. I like the extra cargo pockets and the length of the shorts.

I have many pairs of water shorts from Columbia. They always fit and come in great colors. My only issue is the belt. It's clasp slips and has no stretchiness.

Used these on vacation and they were great. They dry quickly and have a zippered pocket for keeping things safe. Light weight and comfortable.

Bought these for Paddle GA. They are perfect! Wear well, dry quickly, handle dirt and mud like a champ.

I already own a pair of these shorts in black, but when I saw the color oceanic online, it looked beautiful - almost like a greenish teal or turquoise. [...] However, I did not like the color when I got it in person. It is actually more green than anything - a very bright, loud green. I would've kept them if they had more blue in the green like teal or turquoise. Or if the color was a little more subtle or darker. Otherwise, these are great pair of shorts - I love the pair I have already and wear them often. They make good beach shorts. Keep in mind they have a buckle on them if you don't mind that extra step in dressing.
