Questionable quality
Would give 5 stars except that less than one year old and the waistline snap button came off! This is not the durability I expect from the Columbia brand. Liked everything else about these, but having the main button fall off is certainly frustrating.

Flawed snap button
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had some concerns from other reviews regarding the snap button undoing itself. However, they fit the bill for medium duty work shorts for around the house. Gusseted front hip pockets for tape measures, etc., a hammer loop, and rear pockets without flaps that make it easy to slip tool in and out when on a ladder, and a double belt loop at rear center to hold it all up. They are very comfortable. However, these have a fatal flaw in button design. The rear part of the snap just fell out of the fabric, leaving a hole. And there appears to be no way to physical repair them, because no thread attachment is provided. Rather then a substantial rivet back like a fender washer, it is just sort of pressed into the fabric with a tiny amount of surface area. Very weak! If they redesigned these with the simple large metal button pusing through a front slit, I'd buy them again.

Trim looking, comfortable and quality shorts
I have bought two pair of Men's Ultimate Roc Flex Shorts in Boulder and Fossile. Both are great colors. The stretchable cotton fabric is fantastic. I love the zip pocket on the right leg - it holds my wallet well. The pocket on the left leg is somewhat useless. My iPhone 7 can drop into it, but it won't easily go into the top part of the pocket cover. I would really like it if they could redesign this pocket to hold a modern smart phone. The other two hand pockets are well placed. I do wish the pockets had an internal divider to keep my pocket knife separate from my car's key fob, so they don't get scratched. The rear pockets are nicely placed and the right size, but it would also be good if there was a zipper or snap button to secure the contents.

Beware Quality Issues: Inconsistent sizes and buttons that don't function
I love these shorts so much that I ordered 4 pairs. The fabric is comfortable and lightweight, and it is indeed water and stain resistant. However, I quickly ran into quality issues: 1) Inconsistent sizing. All 4 pairs that I ordered fit me differently (I ordered the same size of course). 1 pair was at least 4 inches less than the size I ordered. 2) Some buttons don't function. As other reviewers state, there's an issue with the buttons popping open, but I noticed it's only for 2 of 4 pairs. 2 have a strong hold while the other 2 easily slip out. I only recommend this product if you carefully check sizing and button hold before removing labels (better to buy this item in store).

Very Nice Shorts!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve learned over the years that there are some brands that you can always count on; brands that will not scrimp, or change every time the wind blows. (And there is a difference between staying current and having NO direction...) Columbia, for me, has always been one of those brands. These shorts fit perfectly for their size, and they give where they should and don’t where they shouldn’t. Highly recommend.

Best All Around Shorts!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been searching for shorts to fit my summer lifestyle:. working from home, driving, walking the dogs, etc. Well these shorts are all of the above! They are true to size for me at a 34 waist. I love the cotton stretch fabric. I recently drove across the country and only wore these shorts. They are super comfortable and the pockets are great. I especially love the zip pocket for my wallet and side pocket for my iPhone. I have no regrets and would highly recommended them too!
