Columbia Women's Tidal II Short, Soft Violet Shorebreak, X-Large

Liked these so much, I have bought them in a number of colors. I am an avid golfer and these zippered pockets are great to hold tees, etc. I have also played Pickleball in these. They stretch and have great movement. I have also done a variety of other athletic/outdoor activities in these shorts. The do run a little bit small. I think they are a nice length and hit about mid thigh. They are shorter than a Bermuda.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The length is perfect. The zippered pockets are a great feature. The patterns are playful. The description says "just enough stretch" but the fabric isn't stretchy. The waistband has some stretch though, and the drawstring hidden on the inside of the waistband allows for a custom fit whether you're pigging out at a picnic or playing an active game of water volleyball (or I suppose if you're fishing, for which Columbia says is their purpose, you'll be happy too). I'm considering getting a couple more in different colors.
