Comments about Columbia Sportswear Whidbey II Water Shorts - 6" Inseam - Men's:

The belt is hooked to an elastic band that keeps you from tightening the shorts.

              Comments about Columbia Sportswear Whidbey II Water Shorts - 6" Inseam - Men's:

              --I own 2 older versions of this same item, one of which was wearing out, so I ordered this as a replacement. Its quality and fit are poor. The elastic waist and belt are weak and insubstantial. When tightened it did not hold, and I am still the same size as when I bought the older ones.
              --As for fit, the crotch seemed tight and uncomfortable, and when I measured it against the old ones, it is more than one inch higher.
              --Columbia used to make quality items, but they have obviously fallen far.
              --I am also not happy about paying shipping both ways for such junk. I wrote everything above on my return form and hoped to be advised that Campmor would reimburse me for both shipping charges; but that hasn't happened, not yet anyway.
              --I have been a (small) customer for decades, but will reassess my shopping in the future.

                  Got these shorts for walking at lunch. Pretty long walks in hot weather so I needed something comfortable and easy dry. These shorts fit the bill perfectly.

                      nice fit, belt a bit too elastic. Would prefer it had two pockets in the back.

                      I like these shorts but the included "belt" is elastic and it is impossible to tighten. I almost lost them several times in the pool, just from pushing off the wall.

                        I bought these shorts last year, and LOVED them! So I bought 3 more pair this year, sadly Columbia has changed the weight and density of the belt, making it very difficult to stay with the present fastener. I would recommend not buying this model of shorts until they change the belt back,
