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.

WP: Weatherproof Men’s Cargo Shorts (WP in Cream) COTTON STRETCH MICRO RIP-STOP UTILITY SHORT. I really love these shorts because they are comfortable so much so I got another pair of these shorts (see photos). As a man who appreciates both comfort and a touch of refinement in my leisurewear, I must say these Weatherproof cargo shorts have exceeded my expectations. The fabric is remarkably soft, stretchy, and durable, and I find that it only improves with each wash—a quality I hold in high regard. The double-stitched seams and elastic waistband speak to thoughtful craftsmanship and lasting comfort. The fit is generous without being sloppy, striking that perfect balance most men—and women—appreciate. I’m particularly fond of the numerous pockets and placement, which offer ample space for a knife, keys, wallet, phone, and other daily essentials. The front zipper adds a welcome layer of security, especially for safeguarding smaller items that tend to wander off in the car or couch. My wife has even remarked on how presentable these new shorts look—high praise indeed, considering my older pair has stood the test of time and remains a favorite for comfort. As someone who values quality, practicality, and especially soft materials, I find Weatherproof superior to many pricier name brands. For the price, the quality of materials and construction they are hard to beat. I like the broken in shorts in more casual environments while the newer ones for more upscale occasions since almost all restaurants and such places allow shorts in the Free State of Florida.

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.

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.

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.

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

These shorts are very light in weight. The material is very light making them ideal for hot days or being being active. I wear cargo shorts for work and need the extra pocket space for an extra phone and set of keys. I really like the zipper pocket by the regular side pocket. I carry a Ridge wallet so that little pocket is great for holding that and keeping it out of the way.

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.

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!

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.
