These cargo shorts are the BEST pair that I've EVER owned.  I have been searching for quality cargo shorts at a reasonable price point..these fit the bill!  The quality is far better than any cargo shorts I've ever owned...even over-priced Abercrombie &b Fitch shorts.  I have a 30" waist, and the "M/30 (US 29)" fit me perfectly!!!  I've bought five pairs so far.  And speaking of quality, the corners of the bottom cargo pockets are reinforced on the inside so the corners will hold up over time.  BUY THESE!!!  You won't be disappointed.
