Description of Columbia Silver Ridge Short - Little Boys':
Give your littlest hiker the Columbia Little Boys' Silver Ridge Shorts for comfort on the trail. The Silver Ridge Shorts wick sweat so he stays dry as he moves along. Plus, Columbia gave these quick-drying shorts mesh pockets so he can play in shallow water on a hot day. A gusseted crotch lets him run and jump without busting a seam.
Bottom Line: Dress your little boy in the Columbia Silver Ridge Shorts and get him excited about being outside.
These shorts are great in that they are lightweight and dry quickly, but the "elastic" waist has pretty limited range, and it's on the large end. My son is slender, so I ended up having to add some darts to make these fit (the fabric is sewn to the elastic, so it's otherwise hard to take them in--this is for the 5/6 shorts, my son's waist is 20.5"). It'd be a lot nicer to have a drawstring or some adjustable tabs!
