Columbia Whidbey II Water Short - Men's

Item #COL2996 | 194 in Stock
3 Star Rating

ok, but not great

By Ranked #94 - Men's Shorts July 18, 2010

These shorts would be great except for a couple minor things. I bought a medium and tried them on. I found out that the belt is attached to an elastic band that pulls out of the shorts if you try to tighten them. I can't wear the small size but the medium won't tighten enough to make me feel secure that they won't fall off if a strong wave came by or if I try to swim laps at the pool.

Another minor inconvenience is that the shorter length is still too long for me and goes past my knee.

A cool thing about these shorts is that they repel water slightly so if you spill something on them or wade in for a minute and get back out, they will still appear dry.
