Seem like they will dry quickly

These are ok. Run very small. The 10/12 was tight on an 80 lb boy. The inner liner is a bit scratchy. But the kid likes that they don't look like young kids wear so we'll return the 10/12 for a 14/16.

Decent shorts but see through when wet

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these shorts for my son, as they were advertised as water shorts. He got in the water with these and after he got out, you could easily see through the shorts to the blue lining. Looked like he was wearing blue underwear in the pool. Decent regular short but do not recommend for being in the water.

Great shorts for summer

I bought these shorts in boys size medium for my son for summer camp. They fit great because of the adjustable drawstring which is great since he is skinny but tall. They are well made and comfortable. These are great for all of the water activities during camp and they would be great for the pool or beach too. They dry quickly which is great for going from the water to another activity without worrying about soaking wet swim trunks. My son likes the color and feel of them as well. They always have a built in brief which makes them even better.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Ok quality

Read other reviews and ordered the wrong size. Return shipping not worth it. Seems Columbia's product gets less and less quality. Too bad. I used to like their stuff.
