I have a few pair of Columbia shorts and I was expecting to love these. They fit true to size, but one of the legs was tighter than the other and they had NO STRETCH to them at all.  If you plan on sitting on the ground or bending over or anything, they pull really bad. Ordering a size up would make them too baggy looking for my taste, so I ended up returning them, sadly. I may have received a defective pair. I came to order another to check to see if they were better but they are out of my size/color. Oh well!
