Review summary
These shorts are widely praised for their durable, hard-wearing fabric, solid construction, comfort, and large number of roomy pockets. Customers also like the look, colors, and overall fit when the right size is chosen. The most common drawbacks are the thick, stiff material, which suits cooler days better than very hot weather, sizing that can run small or vary between versions, and pocket buttons that some users find awkward and hard to undo.

Size: XL
Definitely good material, feels very strong. Many shorts around are made to feel nice and soft straight from the package, but they are mostly weak and break easily. These ones are thicker, a little stiff and even harsh at first, but they get softer little by little when used and washed. I believe that material is the best I have ever seen in shorts, and I am sure they will last several summers. Also, the workmanship seems to be good, the seams are neatly made and there are no loose threads at all. The only weak spot seems to be the buttons. Better take them off immediately and sew them on yourself, otherwise they will fall off soon. Fix that and you have durable shorts for years. The pockets are practical in style and size, without any nonsense impractical pockets that you see in too many shorts, with the size of a pack of cigarettes or even smaller. In these decent pockets you can carry everything you need: a large smartphone, wallet, cigarettes, lighter, keys, a multitool — no problem at all. I can easily even fit a notebook and pen among other stuff and still have extra room, for example for snacks. Cargo pockets are secured with buttons, so everything you put in there stays there. Belt loops are also practical and a good size; you can fit a 50 mm wide belt with no problem. The fit of the shorts is loose, not a trendy skinny look but a nice, wide and relaxed feel with ease of wear. I took the olive green ones and will definitely order the black ones as well later. XL fits very well for 180 cm and 97 kg. It gives 2 or 3 cm of extra room on the waist, which you can deal with using the straps inside or with a belt, whichever way you want. I will do both. The length for 180 cm is just what I like; it reaches the lower part of my kneecap. I am very happy with these shorts at this price and I recommend them to any adult male who does not like the fancied modern kitsch of some weird hip-hop style.

They worked very well in the summer, are solidly made, and it is hard to find any flaws in them. A big plus is also the large number of pockets. In the right size, they reach below the knee.
-
Size: M
These are some of the better shorts I own. They are a little too wide at the waist, but that is not a major problem. A big plus is the large number of pockets and the fairly durable material. I recommend them.
-
Size: L
The pants are very sturdy, almost canvas-like to the touch, thick and stiff, which actually suits me. They are comfortable to wear, while also fitting well and not looking too loose. The downside is the buttons on the flaps, because they are hard to undo, but that’s just part of the charm of this style, and I accept it as a feature of this model.

Size: 7XL
The material is very thick and durable, so these shorts are better suited for cooler days. At the same time, the quality of workmanship and practicality are of the highest standard. I definitely recommend them.
-
I highly recommend these shorts. The size is accurate, they look like they were tailor-made. The material is solid, they are carefully sewn and very well finished. The color looks even better than in the pictures.
-
The shorts have durable material, I give 4 stars because the seams could have been done more carefully. I bought size XXL in dark camo, I'm 185 cm tall and have a 107 cm waist – they fit well, they are a bit loose (about 2 cm), but they don't slip, so I'm satisfied. I also have another model in woodland, size 3XL – they are slightly wider at the waist and legs, so you need a belt for them, otherwise they fall down. This solution works for me.

I liked the shorts. For a height of 190 cm and a weight of 100 kg, I took size L, and they fit almost perfectly. The fabric is quite sturdy; I hope they last a long time. They will be great for summer fishing. The delivery was fast.
-
The shorts are made from fairly thick material and seem durable. I rate the stitching quality positively; they have eight pockets, of which the upper ones are quite large and the side ones even bigger. The legs are wide and can be adjusted at the bottom, which is typical for tactical pants—not entirely to my liking, but they are comfortable and do not restrict movement. I'm 173 cm tall, have a 96 cm waist, and the XL size fits well.
-
There is one very annoying drawback to these shorts – they have huge, impractical, and even dangerous buttons on every pocket. Unless they are replaced with snaps, my rating for these shorts is 2/5. Additionally, the sizing runs small – if someone usually chooses XL, here they should definitely go for XXL.
-
For me, these shorts are a summer hit! Very comfortable, they have a slightly distressed look, which fits perfectly with the retro style. I wear them practically everywhere: for a walk, cycling, or meeting friends. The material is breathable, so they work well even on hot days. I recommend them to people who appreciate a relaxed, effortless style.
-
I am very satisfied with these shorts. The size matches what the manufacturer claims, the material is solid, and the pattern is very nice. I wear them every day when it's warm. It's still hard for me to judge the durability, but they seem to be long-lasting.
-
The pants are very comfortable and fit well (the sizing is spot on; at 186 cm tall and 86 kg, size XL fits perfectly). The material is interesting, quite durable, and resembles canvas – it's possible it will get softer after washing. The pockets are spacious, though the ones on the thighs could be a bit smaller. The pocket flaps are stiff, so nothing will fall out even if the button is undone (the buttons themselves are very tight and hard to fasten).
-
Total disaster. After just a month of use, two buttons fell off (they were barely sewn on), the decorative thread is coming undone, the shorts make noise when walking, and they're strangely designed (belt loops at the crotch – what's the point of that?). Very poor quality, like from a market stall, just much more expensive. I don't recommend!
