Fit is perfect

"Fit is perfect and quality is great good price also."

Michael M. (5/5)

Quality product. The open front

"Quality product. The open front pockets are probably meant for a cell phone but they are not very useful. I have a pair of Propper Kinetic long pants that have larger front pockets with zippers. These are very useful for cell phones and wallets. The Propper Kinetic long pants are my favorite everyday pants. I will probably buy another pair."

Martin W. (4/5)

Pros: nice thick fabric, plenty

"Pros: nice thick fabric, plenty of pockets, comfortable fit Cons: *non-returnable - be sure it's what you want *No small change pocket in the pocket for a small handgun to fit in *Too long - had to hem them up about 1. 5 inches so they wouldn't keep catching on my knee"

PAUL W. (2/5)

Good shorts but use a snap

"I like the shorts a lot. I just wish that it used a snap instead of a button to secure the waist. I won't take a start away for that though. Comfort is good."

Gerald D. (5/5)

I bought two pairs several

"I bought two pairs several months ago. I'm very pleased with these cargo shorts. They're comfortable, durable and allow ample pocket space for the items I typically carry for my Red Cross volunteer work."

Robert M. (5/5)

"Love the shorts, just too far over the knee."

Is there a women's version of these shorts? Thanks
We do not offer women's shorts.
Is there a cell phone pocket so your phone sits straight up? Thanks
There are slots/pockets on the thighs that you can use as a cell phone pocket.
