Wonderful short for active wear
Fit true to size, They do not bind anywhere. These shorts dry very quickly and are perfect for our hot, Florida weather.
Perfect all-around shorts...
Great for boating and hiking. They are comfortable, the fit is true to size, and the length is not too short.
Excellent hot weather shorts
I now own a pair in almost every color and find they are extremely comfortable for being active in hot weather.

great leisure shorts
These shorts are roomy and fit true to size. Great during hot weather for any sport activity. I wear them for golf, the gym and leisure.
Would like to get more.
These shorts fit very nice, comfortable, cool, and dries quickly. Recommend them highly
One of the best shorts for campiing
I have been wearing these shorts for 3 years now, and they can just about go anywhere. The stand up to hiking, swimming, camping, yard work, coaching, and are good enough to wear on any casual outing. They also look good wash after wash.
Great Shorts to wear all summer
I have several pairs of Columbia shorts. These fit great, wear them with or without the belt. Very durable, I wear them throught the summer. Also like the multiple pockets, use them all. The material keeps you cooler on those 90 degree days, esp when compared to cotton.
excellent
Love 'em. Fit great - dry fast. I can look good out of the lake and in the lake! Best shorts I've ever owned. Had to buy 3 more pairs!
Great fit
I recently bought these shorts for the first time. The fit is so good, I had to buy them in 4 more colors
Great shorts! Fit nicely and no ironing required.
I have these in 6 colors so it's nice when they come out with new ones. My summertime "uniform".
Great Shorts!
Very comfortable shorts. Great for just about anything. True to size.
excellent for kayaking
Love these shorts. Great for any water sports. The zipper pocket is nylon, not mesh, to prevent loss of key or money, which is a big plus.
Happy with transaction
I ordered two pair of the cargo shorts in different colors. I received them promptly and liked the quality very much but decided to return one pair because the color wasn't exactly what I had in mind. The return was credited to my credit card. Thanks, Altrec.com !
Awesome Shorts!
These are great shorts. True to size, very comfortable, and cut correctly for a great range of motion. I highly recommend them!
Perfect shorts for kayaking
I use these shorts for kayaking and they are great. There is even a pocket for my cell phone. The nylon material is perfect for a water sport and drys quickly.
Had to go back and order more...
I bought a pair of black, and loved them so much, I went back and ordered more colors.
Great shorts
I love these shorts! Light weight, comfortable and quick drying. I bought two pair and will be buying more.
Best shorts ever!
I bought a pair of these at a sports store last summer and have worn them so much I decided I wanted more. Well that store no longer carried them and after looking online at a couple of websites I found them on Altrec. They had all the colours available, and had them cheaper than anywhere else I looked. I now have 4 pairs! These shorts don't wrinkle, they are quick drying and they are lovely and cool in the heat and humidity - in short (pardon the pun) they are the best shorts ever!
Summertime dream!
I have two pairs and want a third. So comfortable, quick drying, a must for summer.
Great Shorts!
True to size, excellent quality, light weight. Great for around town, running errands, used these on a cruise - easy to pack. Wish the pockets were big enough to hold a wallet, and would have liked them just a LITTLE bit longer, but overall a great selection.
Love the shorts, great for humid climates
These shorts are quick-drying, cool and "stick-free" which is so important in the humid climate I live in. They are also long enough that I can be active AND modest at the same time!
Great Shorts and Great Service
Love the shorts, just as described. Will order from Altrec again.

just got mine in the mail - I really like 'em! They are comfy and the service was excellent. I got them in just a couple days
Fabulous cargo shorts for sailing!
These cargo shorts are perfect for sailing! Plenty of room, cool, lightweight and they are drip dry. Altrec is a fabulous company with great customer service! I'm shopping here first for all outdoor gear.
Quick Drying and versatile
These are good for water activities and hiking. However, the side pockets are too small and the belt could be of better quality.
review
Got my purchase very prompt and any questions I had about them, customer service was very helpful.
Super Light
These are some nice water shorts! I would complain that they need more/bigger pockets (because I have a slight pocket fettish), but I gues they are water shorts... how much stuff am I going to carry into the lake with me? Perfect fit... love-em!
more sheer than 2008 water shorts
Purchased this in two colors - Blue Vapor and Mud. Both good construction, but I liked the fabric from 2008's water shorts a little better. Not as sheer.
Different cut
I already own these shorts in two other colors, but when I tried on the black pair I found they are cut differently than the other two pairs...even though all of the product numbers are the same. I'll still wear them, but it is disappointing because I go to a lot of trouble to order clothes that I know will fit me and these have a different cut.
