  These are a great pair of shorts and the size seems about run right on target. I'm a big guy, size 48 with chunky legs and the 48's (two pairs) both fit good. The fit is very comfortable, though the legs are a little snugger than I normally get. The material is a weird lightweight material that is very comfortable in hot weather. And so far I have seen no durability issues which is surprising since the fabric is so light, but time will tell. Update: Have had these for a while now and after wearing the various color versions I bought, I can say these are definitely worth the money and in fact am buying another pair today. As light as the material is they are surprisingly durable, don't shrink, colors don't fade and will completely clean off with a damp rag, within reason, if you spill something on them.

  I struggle to find shorts that fit the waist and legs but this are legit. I’m no little fella and we got a bit of a wagon we’re dragging so these were amazing to find. Elastic, durable, and comfortable.

  I don't care for the material. Very loose and light. If you have keys in your pocket, they fling around.

  Rotate three pairs- light brown and dark blue- comfortable with the elastic band, sturdy through multiple washes, and at least I, think they look good. Found my first pair at a Walmart, looking for something else. Amazon pricing is close and shipping is very convenient and free.

  being retired and living in South Texas these shorts are the best I have had in a long time. Light, comforting, easy on walking, easy to clean, good for spring summer and fall here is Sugar Land.

  After a couple of months with these shorts, I've decided that these are just about perfect for me. For the price, I've been extremely happy.I noticed several people complaining about the fit. The people complaining seem to be shorter and on the heavier side. If that describes you, these shorts are probably not going to work for you. I'm 5'11" 185 lbs, waist size 32, and these shorts reach the top of my knees.The pockets on these are excellent. I've never had anything fall out of my front pockets while I've been reclining in a Kayak, playing with the dog, or seated. The fly zipper is TAT branded. The zippers used on the pockets are no-name generic zippers, possibly also TAT. All zippers have worked smoothly. However, I wish wrangler would have used YKK zippers, I would feel more confident in their long-term durability.I ordered one pair of shorts in each color available. Tan, grey, dark drab green, and navy. I would say the colors are all as expected, and the colors have remained consistent through the several washings they have each had. IMO, the green pair looks the best, with subtle tan contrasting stitching. Every pair had a snap closure at the top of the fly, rather than a button. The snaps are all branded with the wrangler logo and have been robust and secure.These shorts have seven belt loops - hallelujah! Even with significant weight on my belt and the shorts wet from swimming, I never experienced any belt bite from the shorts folding between the belt loops.The material of these shorts has a grid pattern similar to rip-stop nylon. Since the shorts only stretch at the waist band, I would guess the fabric is that way to improve durability, although the tag says 100% polyester. I would say these shorts look premium and wouldn't be out of place alongside shorts from Columbia, Patagonia, or 5.11.The drying capability of these shorts is OK. I wouldn't say they dry as quickly as my Columbia hiking shorts, but they dry fairly quickly.Overall, these shorts are 99% perfect, and at a great price. I carry a leatherman tool and flashlight every day, and these shorts are great. I also frequently concealed carry when I am not working, and the belt loops on these are fantastic in their size, spacing, and support.

  These are great shorts. They are nice enough to wear around town, quick drying enough to wear rafting or kayaking and have 2 zippered pockets. They do have elastic waistband and I bought mine a little big since I’m in between sizes but they fit as expected. Very comfortable and lightweight.

  I like how these shorts fit and look, and was hoping to get more of them... but the mesh pockets don't have the strength for the kind of work I put my pockets through (pens and things -- nothing unusual) but there are already spots near the joints where the fabric is tearing. Will look for something sturdier.
