These are my favorite shorts, by far...  Why?  I like the length, the colors, the depth of the pockets (most are so shallow everything falls-out when you get in a car), and they are just plain comfy.  Wife says they look good.  In sunny areas, these protect you legs better than shorter parts, especially wearing thigh-high socks.
The belt takes getting used to, but actually works well once you get it.  I cut-off the strings that hang down the end of the legs -- easy to do.  I have 4 pairs, these are the only shorts I wear now!
