      Comments about Columbia Sportswear Snake River Water Shorts - 9" Inseam - Men's:

      They're supposed to be water shorts, which I'm sure they're great for, but I love them for running, hiking and mountain biking. The mesh lining is far more comfortable than many others in the category, and they breathe and wick moisture wonderfully. The first pair I bought is 4 years old (weekly use), and it looks as good as the 2 new pair I just bought.

              Comments about Columbia Sportswear Snake River Water Shorts - 9" Inseam - Men's:

              Columbia has departed from the quality river shorts of the past with very poor quality. The so called belt is a piece of nylon sewn to a piece of elastic. Non functional junk. Way over priced for no belt makes the shorts non functional as a short. May as well buy swin trunks same thing. What are all the pockets for? you can't put anything in them with out the shorts falling down. The pld shorts with real belt also serves as an emergency strao if needed.

                Comments about Columbia Sportswear Snake River Water Shorts - 9" Inseam - Men's:

                These are very good, all-purpose shorts, just not quite as good as the old version before they were discontinued and then reborn as the current style.

                On the old version, the three front zippered pockets were ALL secure and the zippers worked well (preferable to the one zippered pocket now, with its slightly balky zipper), and the elastic waist band was perfectly functional (preferable to the unsecure nylon belt with no give, a definite disadvantage when a guy has to pee).

                On the other hand, it appears the material used in these current shorts may be a little more serviceable and may last longer.

                I don't understand why Columbia markets these simply as water shorts. They're okay for water, but much better as general purpose shorts for all outdoor occasions.

                Comments about Columbia Sportswear Snake River Water Shorts - 9" Inseam - Men's:

                Columbia had a version of this short several years ago that was much better made and much better quality. I still have an older pair that I love. I think these are very poor quality and poor material. The material is noisy and not soft feeling.They are inconsistent in sizing too. If they weren't going snorkeling and just hanging in Belize I'm not sure I'd keep my pair. Won't order these again.
