Columbia Sandy River Water Cargo Short - Women's

Item #COL1140 | 0 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Better for around town than kayaking

By Ranked #977 - Women's Shorts June 30, 2009

Got these to replace my previous water cargo shorts from Columbia after losing some weight. The other shorts had deeper pockets and true zipping cargo pockets, as well as a rear zip pocket. That made them not only comfortable to wear out shopping, but great for the beach, kayaking, etc.

These don't have pockets as deep and have no rear pocket at all, so I can't carry as much stuff in the shorts. On the other hand, the zip fly front rather than elastic waist does give a neater look for using as a casual, comfortable short for running all over town than the old ones.

Overall, these are still my favorite shorts, but I hope Columbia puts the rear pocket back in the next incarnation.
