Vcansion Men's Outdoor Hiking Shorts Quick Dry Travel Cargo Shorts Tactical Golf Fishing Shorts with Zipper Pockets

1st off these are basically swim trunks. I like the design of the shorts and the appearance, they are very lightweight and quick drying and overall serve all of MY purposes. If you're buying them for secure front pockets that close with the zippers just don't buy them. The zippers on the front "cargo" spot of the shorts broke on the second wearing. If you have nothing better to do than try to fix them by all means they can be fixed short term and then eventually they just separate again. The pockets work fine (they are ALL mesh lined pockets) for just putting stuff in them but securing them (at least in the case of the pair i am wearing right now) isn't an option with the zippers. That said the fly itself hasn't failed me. The back pockets have ONE velcro closure on the inside so you can reach into them easily without two velcro closures to fight with which i think is a good design.

I stand 5'10" and weigh 204lbs - I wear 34"x31" dress pants, but I usually get 36" in casual slacks, jeans, workout pants because my thighs are 25" in circumference, and I DO NOT like or wear tight fitting pants. I ordered the 36" for these shorts, and they allow me to do a full range squat, and practice martial arts comfortably. I had the waist taken in 1.5" (which I typically do), and now it fits me Exactly the way I want. The material is some slight elasticity and is definitely water-resistant; I will be purchasing another pair in a different color soon.

I had to return ( and re order ) because the sizing as most with these non american sizes got me like man others.Fitment was not bad, they are a bit longer than I prefer, however the issue I had was not there.I ordered an xl I believe and the size I got was a 36, a 34 would have likly been a better fit and will try that on my re order.As far as the material goes, they are thin, they are light, and you could use these for anything that has to do with water, even possibly swimming.The design is not bad, they do not feel like something that you would want to be to aggressive in ie. work environment where cuts are prone as these would offer no protection at all.As the sellers title says, ( Outdoor hiking, quick dry, travel cargo shorts, golf fishing etc. )Leave out the whole tactical thought here. These are not tactical, they do not even need to be considered tactical at all. For those like me who are trying to find a cheaper alternative to expensive clothing for work, etc... these fit the bill, just need to figure out your proper sizing. I normally wear a 34 in pants and shorts which gives me a little room for my concealed carry, and 32 when Im not carrying. So the size 36 that I got would not be a valid option, but the 34 would / should be a more true fit.The material, to me, it felt like and sounded like a light wind suit or windbreaker jacket.. just to give you some sort of comparison.

Three things I like about these shorts:#1 You can see in the picture of the outside of the shorts that there is a black triangle of stretchy material at the corner of the pocket. It allows me to put something a little over-sized into the pocket without the usual uncomfortable tug.#2 You can see in the picture of the shorts turned inside-out that there are three pockets on the left side. The pocket material is thin but really strong. When I travel I like to be able to feel what is in my pockets so I know that I still have what I should--pocket knife, keys, etc. These shorts work well in that aspect.#3 I ordered 4 pair of these shorts in varying sizes for my sons for a family trip this summer. Two of them were not able to try the shorts on until AFTER the the Amazon return policy had expired. The Vcansion Customer Service Department did not let that get in the way of my satisfaction--they made things right when they were not obligated to do so. Kudos to them.

Great for backpacking and hiking I like that they are water repellant They dried out rather quickly after being caught in heavy rain when out hiking.

I wear these to work where I spend the majority of my time outdoors with animals getting dirty and frequently wet. Initially I was concerned with how thin the fabric was and how flimsy the zippers appeared. But I have to say, they have held up to the abuse. A couple of times the zipper has broken, but I ran it back down to the bottom and it came back up zippering perfectly! They are not fashionable but they are durable and dry fairly quickly considering the pockets and flaps. I recommend them for hot, humid days when you need to work outdoors.

These are inexpensive shorts that I was going to use for yard work, fishing, hiking etc. I dont expect the world but they have a very chessy poor way clasp in front that comes undone when you hook your belt. Why dont you have a snap or a button on these? And they sent the wrong belt with it. I am a size 38 and the belt would be great if you were a size 36 and I dont have a big gut. Otherwise the quality is fine. If they added a snap or button and included the correct size belt I would have given them a 5 based on value you get.

So after wearing them for a little while, I wouldn't recommend if your very attractive but for day to day they are OK. They are nice and cool though. That are also a bit longer then I like
