Great shorts, high quality!

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.

New dad shorts

Pockets for days. All pockets are open top except for the security pocket that has a zipper. Zippers on these shorts are metal and strong. Very good stitching on the seems. The fabric sheds water fairly well to keep you dry from rain and such, not swimming.

Love these shorts!!

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.

Versatile short

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

Utility shorts

These utility shorts offer an excellent balance of comfort and practicality. Made from high-quality fabric — 98% cotton and 2% spandex — they feel lightweight, durable, and easy to move in. They’re machine-washable and feature deep, well-designed pockets that are genuinely useful. The classic, slightly formal style gives them a clean, versatile look, whether you’re running errands, hiking, or simply relaxing. If this style speaks to you, they’re absolutely worth getting — you won’t be disappointed. Personally, I tend to prefer more casual, Capri-style shorts, but for what they are, these are a solid and well-made choice.

Great All Around Option

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!

Surprisingly comfortable and very fashionable.

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.

Function over fashion

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.

Go To Short

This is my husband's "go to" short for everyday and golf. Sizing is consistent and colors blend well with just about any shirt

Verified Purchase

Rip stop shorts

Bought these at Sam's for a very reasonable price. I've washed them with no shrinkage and no fading. They are comfortable to wear. And look good.
