These pants do deliver on the idea of a cargo pants design that conceals the pockets and does not scream cop or geek.  The double front pockets are easily accessible and the cargo pockets nicely store a wide variety of items and really are nicely hidden.  (Personally, I can't imagine trying to walk or run with 4 rifle magazines in them but to each their own!)

The problem is that the rise is very high and the waistband is elasticized which gives them a baggy look that makes them unfit for anything but the most casual use.

Also, why do they not come in black?
