Rothco BDU 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.

These are very nice looking shorts, a little tough on the skin but I guess that's part of the camo thing. What I do like is the adjustable waist but dislike the button fly. I needed to return them due to them being the wrong size.

Fits perfectly and trendy. Quick and convenient wear. Well made.

You need to find an BDU or ACU size chart for the proper waist size as they are sized as military battle dress pants are. They are not sized as civilian apparel is. I believe the Rothco website has size charts.I own numerous Rothco BDU pants and now I own a pair of shorts. All are totally adequate even though the Rothco ones tend to be on the cheaper made end of the ones sold.

These are my favorite shorts! They are durable. They fit great. Good price. There are so many camo/color options.

Let me start by saying, I like the shorts, but for the price the quality control should be better. Maybe I just got a lemon. My pants size is 50, and I ordered a 3x as per the chart. I would say the waist size was fairly accurate. It does run a bit big in the waist, but the shorts also have the slides on the hips to draw in the waist. So the running bid was negligible in my case. The shorts are loose in the thighs, and the length covers my knees. Personal, I like the fit. I'm 6"1'.I work as a dispatcher for our company, we wear hard uniforms and BDU/Cargo pants. Working in dispatch, I'm not required to wear a duty belt, so I don't wear one. I mention this because the added weight of a duty belt with gear was not a factor in the issue I had with my shorts. That being said, a lot of the other officers are required to wear duty belts with keepers, gears, and some are armed. Weight from their duty belt/gear would be a factor in this.On the third day of wearing these shorts, a belt loop lost its bottom stitch/tack to the shorts. What was a bit upsetting was I just buckled my belt and was sliding the tongue through the first belt loop. Just the tongue of the belt sliding through the belt loop was enough for the belt loop stitch/tack to come undone. The price of these shorts was high enough for me to think something like this wouldn't happen.As I started off with, I liked the feel of these shorts. Maybe I got a lemon that slipped by QA inspection. I did not return the shorts, because I don't have the original packing and I don't want to go through the hassle. If anyone is wondering, I plan on ordering another pair from this company.If I was required to wear duty belt, especially if I was in a armed position, then I would just spend the extra money to buy from Gall's directly or surplus store online. We don't have military surplus stores where I currently live. Our company orders from Gall's but the process takes too long.So in closing, I like the feel of the shorts, QA needs improvement, and keep your original packaging until your sure. Hope no future customers receive lemons.

Order a size smaller, I'm swimming in these shorts 🏊

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.

Great product
