ColumbiaMen's Flex ROC Short, UV Sun Protection, Comfort Stretch

These shorts fit very nicely and look great.

Purchased for my husband. He said it’s comfortable and is of good quality. He loves the metal button. He has difficulty finding his size. He is so thrilled.

1st) Abyss is not black but more like midnight blue.2nd) Waist is bigger than stated on the label.I own other Columbia and Dockers Waist 30 shorts and do not need a belt to wear them, but I do with these. Other than the waist, overall fit is good.

As other reviewers have said, these shorts fit kind of slim around your thighs. Some like it, some don't. I do. I like that look but it's important to note I wouldn't call these "skinny", just slimmer than baggier shorts that look borderline like "skorts" from the side, which is an image I DON'T like. Other than that they work really well. The side pocket is very functional, fitting my iPhone 6 with protective case perfectly, though it does stick out a bit but I'm sure that helps with removal. The fact that it's not a spacious cargo pocket is a really good thing because honestly what else are you going to want clanking around in a spacious cargo pocket besides something heavy? Furthermore, the waist size is true to fit and it has a zippered security pocket.The only semi downside I can think of is that the back pockets are Velcro, which I'm not crazy about but I think it's better than a snap or a button through a slit as well.

I like the look and fit of these shorts. Very well made. Worth the price. My favorite cotton shorts! Fit is consistent with other brands that I have tried far as waist size.

I've owned three pair of these shorts over the last three year. The backs pockets will wear our relatively quickly and tear at the seems. However, not a terrible pair of hiking shorts for the money.

My husband wears these for most of our outdoor escapades. Hiking, camping, etc. They are extremely durable. The fabric feels a little thick and "rough," but he says they feel great. As with any active short, it sits a tad higher on the knee, but doesn't bother my guy who is otherwise wearing basketball shorts. They also might look a little tight on the thigh, but I've been assured that they are not actually, rather, they are really stretchy and the form fit helps keep loose fabric out of the way (important for rock climbing). He's 6.3 and 240 and wears a comfortable 38'' in these. Have several pairs and will likely buy more.

The best shorts to wear. Comfortable and great quality.

Returned too large but nice product

Very pleased with the quality and fit of these shorts

Material too heavy. Well made. Fits as expected.
