Review on ๐Ÿฉณ Columbia Women's Sandy River Short: Maximize Comfort, Breathability, and Sun Protection! by Mike Starling

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Columbia's sizing inconsistency is an issue

I've had these shorts for years and use them for fishing and hiking. They are quick drying and lightweight. I was very happy to find another pair at such a great price from Revain and ordered them in both Tusk and Black. Unfortunately, Columbia's inaccurate/inconsistent dimensions are back at play. The shorts I currently have are medium sized and quite baggy. These pairs were so tight I couldn't get them past mid-thigh. I'm a size 10 and about 165 pounds. I'm hesitant to order again because I don't even know if a plus size will fit - and note that the tag says 'loose fitting shorts for freedom of movement and comfort'. This is a trend I've noticed with Columbia clothing: one garment can vary drastically from another in actual measurements, even if they're the same size and style. I gave the shorts three stars because the performance is great but the sizing leaves something to be desired.
