I like the extra storage that cargo shorts provide, but I hate how most of the cargo pockets end up becoming stretched out and misshapen over time.  In addition, the velcro closures curl and after a few washings you look like you have saddlebags on your thighs!

These shorts are great because the cargo pockets lay flat - and continue to lay flat after many washings.  There is no velcro to curl - these cargo pockets use snaps.  They come out of the laundry looking crisp.  I highly recommend these shorts for anyone that likes the extra storage cargo shorts provide without the bulk!
