Columbia Cascade Creek II Water Short

Great fit. Dry extremely quickly. Inner mesh brief is comfortable and friendly. ample pockets of good size (unlike on my TNF of similar type), and a slightly longer inseam than other similar shorts I've tried, a feature that I like.

Angled pockets are a real plus on lightweight shorts like these, which lack any heavy drape to counteract your action of trying to shove your hand into a pocket for access. My TNF shorts don't have angled pockets and ride halfway up my leg when I try to put my hand in the pocket. These Columbias work better and have a better spf rating.
