'A classic design (that needs updating)'
Strengths:
Plenty of small pockets, with zips so you don't lose things. Very cheap. Hardwearing.
Weaknesses:
Pockets too small to be practical. Colour bleeds and fades very quickly. A rather short short for today's market. Not stunningly comfortable.
Overall:
Okay I admit it I bought a pair of these on impulse in a sale after I got fed up of losing the contents of my pockets everytime I sat down. They weren't my wisest purchase. Unlike true cargo shorts the zipped pockets don't allow you to carry much in comfort (hey - don't you go walking with a couple of USB keys, a bunch of office keys, a pen or two etc. ;-) ), and less than looser fitting shorts with standard pockets. The fabric is tough and should be hardwearing, but not the most comfortable, and doesn't hold the dye that well after a couple of washes. Cut is rather short, showing off more of my legs than is perhaps wise...
