Oh dear
These are great shorts. BUT,When I put them on I thought, generous fit. Then I found someone else’s shopping list in the pocket. Later when the zip wouldn’t go up properly I noticed the button had been moved and badly sewn back on, no wonder the fit was so generous. Minger.

These shorts are great value and seem to be very good quality. Only problem are the button fixings on the side pockets which are almost impossible to do up/undo as they are hidden behind the cover flap. I am removing buttons and fitting Velcro which should be easier. Overall a good buy at half the price of other suppliers.

Reviewed in the United States on 14 April 2024
I ordered 3 pairs for a family member, 1 camouflage, 1 blue,and burnt orange, they are really nice with good stitching, nice size pockets, knee length, belt loops, good material, size 36 waist but they run a little small. So he gave them to another family that wears size 34 and they fit him really well, so he was a happy camper.So all and all it was a win win. They are really nice, comfortable,light weight, but remember you will have to go up a size. At a good price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo ma attenzione alle taglie
Reviewed in Italy on 17 July 2024
Size: 38WColour: NavyVerified Purchase
Acquistato per il mio compagno, arrivato integro e nei tempi. Purtroppo abbiamo dovuto fare il reso perchè la taglia non era corretta; Ho preso le misure al mio compagno proprio perchè altri commenti dicevano di fare attenzione; seguendo le misure abbiamo preso una 38W ma era molto grande, fatto il reso abbiamo preso una 34W ed è perfetta. Quindi ricapitolando per chi ha le misure della tabella che corrispondono ad una 38W in realtà deve prendere una 34W. Lo abbiamo sostituito con un'altra taglia e il secondo ordinato è perfetto e lo trova molto leggero e comodo. Probabilmente ne prenderemo uno di un altro colore.
