Columbia Sportswear Silver Ridge Shorts - UPF 30 (For Women)

This short does not run true to size, the other Columbia shorts I bought fit great, but this one is way too small.

These shorts were too big in the waist and too baggy in the rear. I don't think it was a case of needing to order a different size, just that the cut was not right for me. I would recommend these to a friend who was looking for a loose fitting pair of shorts.

The front of the shorts rubbed against my mid-thigh as I walked (and my thighs are pretty slim, not at all beefy). I figured after wearing them for any length of time they would chafe, so am returning them.

These are going back. They run very small.

I liked them well enough to return them and order a size larger.

Lightweight, stylish, comfortable, easily washed and dried -- love these for travel.

Columbia has good quality. The clothing is great for traveling and casual wear.

When I pulled these shorts out of the packing, they were so lightweight, I was a little skeptical of how they would fit. I am totally converted- this is a great ripstop-like fabric, and the cut and construction of the garment is very flattering. The pockets are minimized, but accessible. I have not done any serious hiking with them yet, but would have ordered more if there were more colors. They do wrinkle somewhat, and the inseam differed and inch or so between the two pair I purchased.

I usually wear a 4, but in these, the 4 and 6 were too small. Also I have rather large quads, and the shorts fit a little more snug that I would have liked. Definately recommend ordering a size or two up!
