Special order items take longer to ship

We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first. The "Est. Ship Date" is the date we expect items to leave our warehouse... so add your chosen shipping speed to see when it will show up at your door.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orly Legs are a little longer than I expected quality is excellent, light and pretty colors
Date published: 2023-04-30
Rated 1 out of 5 by from Ah, Not Sure.... Ordered three pair of water shorts, 6" inseam. Well, pretty sure they are not 6", come down to my knees. Size is BIG, not true to size, big and baggy and I have fairly beefy thighs. If I had to do over I would not purchase unless you are looking for a pair of trunks to swim in, and I don't mean the pool!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wardrobe Staple Simply the best. Perfect for more muscular thighs that have a hard time fitting in regular khaki shorts.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from not what expected Size runs small. Not the quality or the fit I got with other Columbia water shorts and I have ordered over 10 pairs in the last several years.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from All purpose shorts [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great water, hiking, and casual shorts. Their best feature is that they are spacious in thigh.
Date published: 2023-03-26
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not a replacement for Baggies, but not bad I picked these up to compare with the slightly more expensive Patagonia "Baggies" version of this kind of short. Overall, I like the Columbia shorts just as well, with a couple of caveats: The material in these shorts is lighter and feels flimsier, which is great for warm weather but makes me wonder about durability. The mesh liner feels rough against the skin, which could be problematic for prolonged wear. Finally, the fit (I purchased a medium) is good at the waist, but voluminous everywhere else. As with the mesh, not a deal-breaker but the fit could be improved. Not sure these will replace my Baggies, but they are a less-expensive, hot weather option.

The header says these are 8”. In the description it says 6” inseam. What is the inseam of these shorts?

Asked by: MMhopp
Thanks for reaching out! We physically checked and this short does have an 8-inch inseam :)
