Frankly, The Best Shorts!
Perhaps this is a bit sad, but these are the only shorts I’ve worn for many years now. Lightweight. Never had a pair wear out. No stupid pocket covers that hang on drawers and such you get with cargo shorts. BUT, the Greatest feature, and this is very important to me, ZIPPERED pockets to protect your wallet or phone. On 3 and 4 week road trips, I eliminate the worry of losing my billfold. I carry my wallet in the zippered pocket in front. The comfort is amazing. My weight and waist have changed from 34 to 36, to 38. The 38s will be ok if you go up to 40. Tight, but fit. I now have 6 or 8 34s, 6 or 8 36s, and 8 or so 38s. Being in south Texas where wearing long pants is unthinkable, these shorts are a huge part of my life. BTW, washing drying is a breeze. Much less expensive than heavyweight shorts.

Best shorts I own.
I love these shorts. I own several pairs. They’re comfortable and light. They feel great, look great and can stand up to rough wearing.

The fit is great.
My husband is very pleased. Likes the color. Not to tight. Not to short. The elastic waist keeps his pants in place. Hallelujah!

Was skeptical at first
These are a great pair of shorts and the size seems about run right on target. I’m a big guy, size 48 with chunky legs and the 48’s (two pairs) both fit good. The fit is very comfortable, though the legs are a little snugger than I normally get. The material is a weird lightweight material that is very comfortable in hot weather. And so far I have seen no durability issues which is surprising since the fabric is so light, but time will tell. Update: Have had these for a while now and after wearing the various color versions I bought, I can say these are definitely worth the money and in fact am buying another pair today. As light as the material is they are surprisingly durable, don’t shrink, colors don’t fade and will completely clean off with a damp rag, within reason, if you spill something on them.

These shorts are pretty much PERFECT -185 lb, 32″, 5’11”
After a couple of months with these shorts, I’ve decided that these are just about perfect for me. For the price, I’ve been extremely happy.
I noticed several people complaining about the fit. The people complaining seem to be shorter and on the heavier side. If that describes you, these shorts are probably not going to work for you. I’m 5’11” 185 lbs, waist size 32, and these shorts reach the top of my knees.
The pockets on these are excellent. I’ve never had anything fall out of my front pockets while I’ve been reclining in a Kayak, playing with the dog, or seated. The fly zipper is TAT branded. The zippers used on the pockets are no-name generic zippers, possibly also TAT. All zippers have worked smoothly. However, I wish wrangler would have used YKK zippers, I would feel more confident in their long-term durability.
I ordered one pair of shorts in each color available. Tan, grey, dark drab green, and navy. I would say the colors are all as expected, and the colors have remained consistent through the several washings they have each had. IMO, the green pair looks the best, with subtle tan contrasting stitching. Every pair had a snap closure at the top of the fly, rather than a button. The snaps are all branded with the wrangler logo and have been robust and secure.
These shorts have seven belt loops – hallelujah! Even with significant weight on my belt and the shorts wet from swimming, I never experienced any belt bite from the shorts folding between the belt loops.
The material of these shorts has a grid pattern similar to rip-stop nylon. Since the shorts only stretch at the waist band, I would guess the fabric is that way to improve durability, although the tag says 100% polyester. I would say these shorts look premium and wouldn’t be out of place alongside shorts from Columbia, Patagonia, or 5.11.
The drying capability of these shorts is OK. I wouldn’t say they dry as quickly as my Columbia hiking shorts, but they dry fairly quickly.
Overall, these shorts are 99% perfect, and at a great price. I carry a leatherman tool and flashlight every day, and these shorts are great. I also frequently concealed carry when I am not working, and the belt loops on these are fantastic in their size, spacing, and support.

Comfortable but felt like a diaper.
They looked good from the outside. They felt like a diaper. The pockets were made of a very flimsy material and very shallow. When wearing these and only these shorts I set off the TSA detector (walk through and the full body scan) and had to have full body pat downs each way in these shorts. They focused on the crotch area. I searched when I got home and could find nothing metal or any security tags inside. I’ve read some newer fabrics set off some TSA machines. I wouldn’t buy these again. Too poofy and not travel friendly.

Son prácticos porque tiene bolsas con cierre, además son frescos y cómodos. Vienen amplios, puedes pedir una talla menos de la que usas regularmente.
