LOVE these shorts despite the fact that I am pretty sure I had an almost identical pair which were considered to be in style about 2 decades ago... I consider these shorts "uber-cargo" shorts, as they have extra, outer pockets on the main cargo pockets to hold more, smaller things & they have what can really only be described as cavernous storage areas in all of the other pockets on them.  I like that they are long but not baggy- it makes them versatile as I can wear them at 60* (or less) outside to walk my dog in the morning without being cold, but then I can wear them later in the day once its 80 + degrees outside & not feel too hot.  They are long to be sure, but they are cut slimmer than you'd expect for that length & the pull-ties on the bottom hems allows you to sinch them in to look even tighter-fitting should you wish.  My wife is going to demand I buy a few more pairs of them, as they have such ample storage capacity that I've worn them a bunch already- with all their huge pockets, I am able to leave my briefcase/man-purse at home more often now when I wear them, as I am usually able to carry everything I need when I go out in my pockets & hence don't always require a bag when leaving the office or house anymore.  An added bonus is that because they were obviously designed with the intent to provide a large amount of cargo space, they do not appear bulky or otherwise "lumpy" looking when walking around with filled pockets- which is something that other shorts (cargo or not) usually tend to do if you fill your pockets up.  I love them & will be purchasing additional pairs for sure.
