These are the shorts you've been looking for. That is, if you've been looking for comfortable, hardy, functional, long lasting, easy-to-clean, and classic looking shorts. I can't imagine not owning a pair (or 4 pairs for that matter) of these because they are so useful. They look like a classic pair of khaki shorts (or whatever color you want) but you can do anything in them because they're not going to rip, tear, stain, or become soaked in sweat. In one day, you can go to class, jump in a lake, do yard work, and then go out to eat, ALL IN THE SAME SHORTS. They dry in 5 minutes. Mud, grass stains, wine, blood, toothpaste, etc. All of these wash out and off with the short scrub of a wet towel. I wear these shorts for days before washing them. They stay clean and dry. On top of all of that, they look awesome, come in a variety of colors, and they are in style. They are the most versatile shorts on the market.Fit:I am 6’2” 170 lbs with a 32 waist. I can wear a medium 6” inseam comfortably, but they they can be a little short for my long legs at times. The medium 8” is a little baggy around my thighs though. I have found that the small 8” inseam is the best fit. They’re long enough but not too long (abt 1.5-2” above the knee), and they fit nicely around my waist and thighs. Note: I cut the net out. They’re more comfy that way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The only SHORTS you need in Florida ! *by N***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019* I have been purchasing these Columbia Backcast water shorts for the last .......15-20 years ?For boating, swimming, SCUBA diving, travelling, gardening......this is my "GO TO" pair of shorts!!Plain and simple: THEY ARE THE BEST!Some of my shorts are at least 5 years old and are still going strong, and this in the Florida sun, swimming in saltwater and also chlorinated pools.The weak spot is the elastic waistband and subsequently the netting inside, but they only fail after years and years of washing and drying them.I especially love them since they dry very fast and are not STUPID long.This is my ...... 6th order?By the way: I'm 6' 02, 200 Lbs and in relatively good shape.I find that the M (Medium) fits me just PERFECT for all my activities.Enough said. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome Shorts For All Occasions *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2018* These shorts are amazing, they dry quickly so are great for hiking or swimming. Very open and baggy so even if you are super muscled or packing a little extra insulation you will be free to move as long as you get the right waist size. There is an elasic waist retention part as well as drawstring and belt loops. I cut out the mesh liner and wear boxers or quick dry underwear. Very sturdy material with ample pockets. When swimming the pockets don't catch much water like some other shorts might. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/195549191-columbiamens-backcast-iii-water-short](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/195549191-columbiamens-backcast-iii-water-short) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
