I wear shorts year round living in Texas and I am always on the lookout for well made shorts. These are water resistant and have rip-stop which is always a plus. I like the addition of the security pocket as well as the utility pockets on the sides. I don’t always want or need full cargo shorts, but I like having the small side pockets for my EDC items. I will definitely be purchasing more of these as my everyday go to shorts.

These shorts are very comfortable and very durable. When I first opened them up, I thought they were pants, because of the thick material, but I was surprised at how soft stretchy and comfortable they are. The security pocket is especially useful when outdoors. I love cargo shorts, but these don't look like cargo shorts, which makes them more modern and fashionable.

The shorts are a great material. The pockets are in a perfect placement and do not have an issue with items falling out. The shorts are comfortable to wear, the material is strong and soft on the skin. I chose the green color because I haven't worn green shorts before and I am very pleased with the color.

These shorts are really comfortable, well made and functional. It can be worn at the beach, at the park, on the golf course or out for a casual dinner. It has a lot of pockets but doesnt look bulky when you put things into your pocket. I like that the color is subtle as well.

I first wore the Cotton Stretch Micro Ripstop Utility Short on a weekend hiking trip at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis. The lightweight, ripstop fabric was perfect for the trails. It stretched enough to stay comfortable during long walks and climbing over rocks, while still feeling durable against branches and rough surfaces. I also wore them to a casual outdoor barbecue with friends, pairing them with a simple tee and sneakers. Likes: The ripstop material felt tough yet flexible, ideal for both outdoor activities and casual wear. Multiple utility pockets made it easy to carry essentials like my phone, wallet, and keys without needing a bag. The fit was comfortable and breathable, especially in hot weather. Dislikes: The fabric, while durable, was slightly stiff at first and took a few wears to soften. The shorts wrinkled easily after washing, so they needed a quick iron or steam. The pocket design, though practical, made the silhouette look a bit bulky at times.

These shorts are a comfortable fit. The material is thicker than I expected. Somewhere between denim and a lightweight workout material. But they’d work well for everyday wear or a cooler day on the golf course. I liked the pockets and especially the security one. Overall I’d give a high rating for these shorts.

I intentionally ordered a size too large (38), thinking that would be a good idea. Once I tried them on I realized the sizing is really accurate and I should've ordered a (36). This gave me the opportunity to use the belt loops and with the addition of a belt, it was a very comfortable fit. The belt was easy to use and put through the loops. The overall fit is comfortable, this maybe due to being a little larger size, but I think it would remain comfortable with a smaller waistband. The length is very nice and also comfortable. The color is interesting, it appears to be more blue than grey but is an attrative color regardless of the name. The fabric itself has a little stretch to it, which is something else I wish I had taken into account when making the sizing choice. I really feel like the slight stretch really helps with sitting comfort. Pockets are a good size, and there is a variety to use.

If you're looking for a high quality utility short that delivers on features like durability and weatherproofing these are a good option for you. The material is high quality and the flex waist is a nice option for comfort. These seem like they will be very durable and long lasting even with heavy use in tough conditions. The tradeoff with an utility based clothing is that you're going to sacrifice a bit of fashion as a result. It's not to say that these are unattractive but they definitely look and fit like a utility short vs. more of a dress short, but that's likely not a major factor since you're buying these with a specific purpose in mind.

Great pair of shorts for every day use or working in the yard. Lots of storage pockets some with zippers for added security. The material feels thick without feeling weighed down. Feel like nice quality shorts. Looking forward to the spring to see how the hold up on some hiking trips

Great pair of everyday shorts. Look good enough for outdoor gatherings and functional enough for weekend choirs. Fit a little smaller to size so I recommend getting a size up. Has a number of pockets to fit a variety items for whatever task you decide to do while wearing. I recommend with a thumbs up!
