I've only worn them three times as yet but these appear to be well-made.  The fabric is very lightweight and unlike the heavier twill cargo shorts I own.  Then again, these are a hybrid board short and cargo with enough pockets to accommodate extra stuff while able to dry quickly and not weigh me down while in the water.  The fabric is smooth and soft poly and stitching is very straight and accurate with no loose threads or messy bar tacks.  They seem pretty strong for their being so light.

The silhouette is a little large in the leg for my taste.  My legs are slender and these are just a tad 'floppy' above the knee but they fit as expected in the waist.  They are probably a good compromise between comfort, style, and purpose (water resistance and ability to hold cargo) but I would probably choose something else for a walking short.

The color is very close to what I see on my monitor.
