RothcoBDU Cargo Shorts Men’s Outdoor Shorts Hiking Shorts

Pros: They fit well, move well, weren't unbearably hot in 90° direct sunlight, moved well when running and crouching, didn't fold uncomfortably when sitting in various positions in a chair and on the ground (they dug in at the eaist when in a car or chair, but they sit higher on me than they probably would on average.) Thick enough to be durable and hold up well and seem well made in the seams, the surface feels like it would be water-wicking though I haven't gotten to confirm that. The pockets are great, when buttoned there's likely not a chance under the sun that you're losing whatever you store, the pockets on the side are folded over so they open out to hold more. The adjusters on the side hold surprisingly well. The overall quality and look of these is fantastic.Cons: The back pocket is a little small, but I also have a larger smartphone so take that with a grain of salt. The buttons go into button holes on the underside of the pocket flaps, and are a tad difficult to do and undo in a timely manner simply because the fabric is tough. I'm sure with more usage and washing, they'll ease up. (But again, because of how the pockets are made and how they close, you're never losing anything you store so this isn't entirely a con.) When sitting in a chair or the car, the waist dug in a little but I think that's just because they sit a little higher on me than they would on average, so again, grain of salt. Your experience might be different.When the time comes to replace my shorts I will absolutely be buying from this brand again, zero hesitation. 100% recommend.I probably could've gone up a size for a more baggy fit, but they're great either way.

Really well made shorts, heavy duty & plenty of pocket room. Good camo pattern, easy to fit with no shrinkage. If you're old school and looking for the BDU fit & feel, look no further. A must have set of shorts. Excellent item.

These shorts are pretty comfortable on first try. I got the tiger stripe camo, and it looks correct. I’m 5’11” and wear a size 36. I got a large 35-39, and they fit just fine with a little adjustment on the side straps. They feel pretty quality. Not a fan of the button fly, but whatever. On the pocket issue, the front pockets hold my whole hand just fine, or my big iPhone XS Max with no problems. Now if I was super slouching in my chair taking an old man nap it might be possible for it to fall out. The pocket opening is pretty diagonal, but the depth goes as low as the bottom of the side pocket cover flap. I imagine if you were carrying a tall can of Pabst Blue Ribbon in your pocket and kicking Hobbits that the beer would fall out, but it should hold keys, your phone, or your lube of choice just fine. For the back pockets I might say they are a tad shallow, but my biker wallet is 6 inches wide. I have trouble buttoning one button with my wallet in there, two is basically impossible. I would just leave it in there unbuttoned, but like I said my wallet is larger than a regular one. As I said they feel pretty quality/durable, but I wouldn’t go doing any lunges or ballerina stuff in them. Don’t feel like there’s a lot of give in them, so maybe an aggressive movement could possibly split them, thus exposing your turd cannon to the world. Just buy them and look cool. Oh, they go just below my knee. Stay strong, and do something nice for someone, and call your mom, she longs to hear from you.

Useful, practical, comfortable wear them all summer

I loved it. The garment is authentic. Arrived one day earlier than what was estimated. Totally recommended. I actually ordered a second pair of shorts from this same store.

I'm an active person. I hike, hunt, workout and cargo shorts are my go to. No, I don't wear that over-priced UnderArmor or Nike garbage in the gym. I own and like some RothCo products and figured I'd give their shorts a try.These cargo shorts aren't horrible, they feel like they'll last a while, but these definitely need some more thought, work and a redesign. I almost gave these 2 stars instead of 3.CONS -1 - Slim fit. Unless you're very skinny, these are going to be snug. A bit too snug. If you likes you some skinny jeans, these will probably make you happy! Not me. They need a bit more room for free movement.2 - The front pockets are all but useless. There's just no room for anything and they're not convenient at all! You'll find unnecessary resistance getting a phone in and out of them, let alone other items. The pocket angle is awkward and too narrow.3 - They're button fly. Personally, on cargo shorts, I don't find this convenient or logical. I'm guessing this was more about cost cutting and price points than functionality. I'd like to see a YKK zipper instead.4 - The pull tabs on the waist are all but useless unless you're so skinny that the shorts are hanging on your hip bones. I'm slim and muscular with a tight waistline. I pull those tabs and set the waist where I want it and it's fine....UNTIL you bend at the waist. The slightest bit of resistance has those tabs slipping back to the fully open position again and my shorts are drooping down!!! I suppose if you are the type of person that sits perfectly still, posing all day, you'll be very satisfied. Forget these stupid tabs and just give us an internal drawstring!!!5(possible con) - The material is thin but not 'cheap' thin. That may or may not be a CON for you. For me it wasn't because I wanted lightweight for the warmer weather. I just wanted you to be aware.If RothCo heeds my advice and redesigns these, they'd have a winner. Also, as far as I can tell, they don't have a HEAVY version for the colder seasons. I'd recommend they consider that as well.

Belt loop not stitched …came like that …new items should not need repair

I like the fit and style of these shorts , have several pairs in different colors. Big fan of the buttons / no zippers. Material is on the thicker / sturdy side . Blue pattern a little bit more fashionable . Sizes are consistent as stated. The cut I really prefer over others that can ride a bit too close to the private parts.

Well made and feel pretty durable. Perfect summer dad-style.Only thing I would say is if you are at the 35" waist mark, I would size up to the large for a nice easy comfortable fit.

Listing stated that the waist size for L was 40 inches. Package arrived and the tag stated that size was 35-39 inches.There are a bit tight, looks like I'll have to loss some of the extra weight I'm carrying.....🙄

Distribución de colores muy chida pero crei que seria mas larga, me queda por encima del la rodilla, aunque siempre uso esta talla me quedo holgada

Not what I'm used to when looking for BDU Shorts. Side pockets are shallow, and the shorts don't seem to be cut like the BDU trousers at all. They feel restrictive in movement as compared to trousers of the same brand and size. Not sure I could recommend this product.

so far so good. time will tell about durability.
