Why We Like The Sandy River Cargo Short

We had no idea our family river rafting trips were missing something until we discovered the Sandy River Cargo Short. Extra sun protection is a good thing, and this short packs it on with UPF 30 for all-day paddling without the burnt thighs. The material is quick-drying, which is a bonus when we're sweating or our pup shakes out after splashing around.

Great features and comfy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these shorts and use them for climbing, hiking, paragliding, paddle boarding and for a lot of other shenanigans. They are super comfy, light and my favorite part is that they have a little pocket I zip up little fruit snacks or my AirPods. The belt is one of my favorite parts of it too.

Flattering and Comfortable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shorts are so comfy and flattering. They will be great for hiking or wearing to work outdoors. It's hard to find a good khaki short that is flattering and durable, but these shorts fit the bill! They also come with a belt, which is really nice. Worth the money!

Where have these been all my life?

I love these shorts. With a 6 inch inseam I have enough room to paddleboard and be active without feeling any constriction. The zippered pocket keeps my valuables safe and they are so flattering. The color is so perfect for the water. Glad I bought them.You should too!

All around great!

Love these shorts! I can put my license/credit card in the little zipper pocket and go. They are light fabric and wash well. The material does not fade or shrink. Great for hiking or just daily wear. I originally bought the black years ago and so glad i found this color too!

I have these shorts in every color.

I have been wearing the sandy river cargo shorts for years. I am so glad you brought back the bright colors. I love the red color you used to have. I do sea turtle monitoring from March till October and these are my go-to shorts for out on the beach. This purple color is awesome!!

Best shorts ever!

These are my go-to shorts. I wish I had discovered these sooner. I bought my first pair last year so this year I stocked up as much as I could! I will always buy these and have extra pairs on hand in various colors.

I have many pairs

The 5 inch inseam is great, and these shorts have a generous cut. The one downside is my phone always falls out of my pocket when I sit down.
