These Wrangler Hiker Shorts are true to fit and are excellent.  I thought I liked the Wrangler Cargo shorts better but after a few time wearing these, I like them better.  The side pockets are deep and secured with velcro.  I love the velcro and you can't find many shorts that use it these days.  In fact, the back two pockets are also secured using velcro.  I also like these shorts since they fit above the knee.  I much prefer that fit than others that fit below the knee.  Just my preference.  The price is excellent for these shorts and I will buying a few more.  I wish they offered a pair in denim though.
Very good product and well worth getting into your wardrobe!
