Great comfortable shorts August 29, 2010

These shorts are super comfortable with the adjustable waist. The pocket layout is great for activites like fishing and working around the house. Recomended.
 Cutting Costs and Killing Quality. Shame on you, Columbia! August 21, 2010
C. Walker (Southeast USA)
So after rotating a couple of pairs of these for the past four years, I finally decided it was time to treat myself to a new pair of Columbia's Half Moon shorts. I purchased the first new pair in a Florida only department store while I was on vacation. The shorts were fine for a few days, but they were falling apart after ONE wash. I made sure all of the velcro was closed before they went in, and I washed them on the delicate setting. The stitching just above the zipper that holds the hooked side of the velcro in place came undone. This would have been an easy fix, but the same stitching holds the waistband together. I noticed that the tag read "Made in Indonesia," and that the nice strong reinforced stitching of my old shorts had been replaced with single strands of poorly placed thread. One of the pockets was oversewn as well, leaving a small shelf about halfway down the side. All of this was very disappointing after my excellent experience with the original Sri Lanka made version.
Columbia offers no warranty, but they told me they would take a look at the shorts and possibly repair them if I wanted to send them back to them at my expense. Without any assurance of repair or replacement, I decided that it might just be cheaper to purchase another pair and hope that the first product was just faulty.
I went out and bought another pair after inspecting its stitching. One pocket was slightly oversewn, but everything else appeared to be in order. After three wears, these are falling apart as well. I have not even put this pair through the wash. The stitching on the fuzzy side of the velcro on the little adjustable belt section has come out. What do you know, it is also poorly stitched with a single strand of thread which probably snagged in the hooks of the opposite patch. These are going back to the store post haste.
I have already called corporate and complained about the poor quality of this revised product. The Half Moon shorts that were made in Sri Lanka were of excellent quality, but these new Indonesian impostors are some of the most poorly made shorts I have ever worn. DO NOT purchase these based on the other reviews, they were created before the factory change.
Columbia, you may have saved $0.03 per pair by changing your factory, but at what cost? You have sacrificed product quality and your values. Hopefully, you have lost any prospective customer that reads this review. Shame on you.
Loved article August 3, 2010

Bought these shorts for my hubby. He loves Columbia clothing. Though he tends to prefer polyester for its lightness, he loved these 100% cotton shorts. The inseam size is just perfect, not too long not too short. Excellent durable quality.
Perfect for all summer activities July 5, 2010

This is my second pair of the Columbia Half Moon shorts. I've had the first pair
for a couple of years and decided I wanted another pair. They are comfortable and versatile. The service was excellent.
 Velcro closures limit range of sizes April 26, 2010
J. M. Nickey (Denver)
The Velcro closure system isn't so great. There isn't a button, it uses Velcro instead. And the belt system is also Velcro and the range for the belt is limited because the connecting piece on the shorts isn't very long. The result is that while the Large is a little too tight for me, the XL is too big and can't be cinched tighter.
