Seemed pretty good but too large
Material was great - comfortable lightweight but waist was too big. Ordered a 32 inch like always, but that were far too big. Altrec shipping was incredibly fast though. I'm on the east coast and they arrived two days after ordering.

very comfortable and light feeling
My husband received the Columbia Utilizer Shorts yesterday and just loves them. I find the customer service great as I did a live chat with "Zach" because I wanted to order more in the color grill but they were sold out. I have never had such a great online experience. He loves the color and texture of the shorts

Great shorts.
Nice fit. They are made of a comfortable lightweight fabric that allows good movement. They have become my favorite shorts for hiking.

Comfortable and Functional
I bought these for my boyfriend to take to New Orleans for JazzFest! He wore them the entire time. He said they were comfortable, but I appreciated the neater cleaner appearance as opposed to canvas type cargo shorts. And it did rain a lot during JazzFest and having quick dry shorts was a godsend.
