Purchased for my teenage son. Overall he liked them. His biggest con was the velcro fly. He decided to wear these as a regular pair of shorts. Recently he decided to wear them to school (we live in a warm climate). He described dealing with the velcro fly as a nightmare. He said that each time he sat down for his classes he would feel the velcro fly rip open. Unfortunately you can't re fasten the velcro fly seated, so he would have to wait until he could stand up and try to re fasten the velcro. He described at as extremely embarrassing as each time it happened he would end up exposing his gray boxer briefs. The worst he said is when he would bend over to get something (which he tried to avoid if possible), however for example he said when he was getting his belongings from his locker towards the end of the day, he said it felt like the shorts again came loose on him, however he didn't think anything of it as the shorts were loose on him with the velcro secured, next thing he knows as he goes to put his backpack on the shorts quickly began to drop, he grabbed them before they fell down around his ankles and tried to re fasten the velcro fly only for it to re open seconds later, re fasten it again only for it reopen again right away. He said he was mortified and didn't know what to do. Unfortunately the velcro fly continued to be fussy and continue to rip back open, to the fact where he decided to hold one side of the shorts up while walking home, which lead his gray boxers to be exposed.

My son said he will keep the shorts just knowing the velcro fly is problematic
