Review: All Weather Men's Shorts - Excellent pair of men's shorts that look good, proper fit, water repellant, great rang of colors, and excellent pockets. I have four pairs to date, and will definitely continue to order these shorts....since I wear them all year round in North Carolina.

## Features

- OMNI-SHADE: Be safe and protected. Omni-Shade blocks UVA and UVB rays to help prevent sunburns and long-term skin damage. The tight weave construction with UV absorbent yarns block the full spectrum of harmful UV rays.
- BUILT-IN SUN PROTECTION: Columbia Men’s Super Backcast Water Shorts guard against sun damage thanks to the built-in UPF 50 material. It’s a breathable, quick wicking fabric that pulls moisture away to keep you cool and dry when you're out of the water.
- MADE TO SWIM: These PFG swim ready shorts were engineered for action on the shore or in the surf — and the quick dry fabric extends these shorts into comfortable all-day wear.
- MULTI PURPOSE SHORTS: Cut for that classic relaxed fit with an elastic waist and draw string adjustability, or use with belt loops if desired. These shorts offer flexible options for all forms of summer wear.
- HANDY FEATURES: Quick dry fabric, elastic waist with drawcord adjustability, interior mesh brief, zip closed back security pocket, two hand pockets, and cargo pocket. As comfortable on land as they are in the water.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best shorts year round for guys!
*by H***N on December 28, 2025*

Love these shorts! Lightweight material and easy to clean.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile and well made
*by B***R on September 15, 2025*

I bought these for a trip to Europe and they were more useful than I expected. I used them for shorts walking around town, as swim trunks when I had a chance to take a dip, and as sleepwear when it was a bit too chilly to go full-on commando. Fabric dries fast and doesn't wrinkle. Worth the price.
