Good utility
The fabric fabric has great durability and texture. The "clip" pocket is great for a cell phone. They are cut on the large side; the length is good if you prefer hiking shorts, but somewhat short for current style. If you are borderline on size, get the smaller. If you don't like "above-knee" shorts, buy the slacks and have them hemmed to a more stylish (longer) length. I can carry everything I need comfortably when I wear these shorts: Glasses, cellphone, etc. with more security than those typical "cargo" shorts for neatness and pocket closure. (The items don't "bounce" off your leg when jogging.) Alternate: The Tru-Spec 24-7 brand is very good too, with more pocket versatility.
