No side pocket & pockets too long. Go back to orig

Columbia should go back to the original design. These use to be my favorite shorts along with many other customers but not anymore. Why fix something that isnt broke? Very disappointing because I have been wearing the backcast shorts for over 20 years and Im afraid they have lost another customer. There is no longer a side pocket, the front pockets are too deep and hang past the bottom of the shorts if you have anything in them.

Sun protection, belt loops, 6" inseam

I first found these shorts several years ago through a retail store and have afterwards bought them online. The perfect features are: 6" inseam, belt loops, no fly, and choice of colors. As described, sun protection, fast drying, and stain resistent. Inseam length is ideal for us on the shorter side. Tough fabric excellent for chores and keeping others on hand for going out. Just all around perfect.

Good but could be better

Quality if shorts is good. But I wish the fit was more slim. Length is good but they are very baggy and a wide leg shirt
