Sleek and sturdy, the best of both worlds!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fantastic shorts! Stretchy but tough, without that glossy sheen you get on some "flex fabrics". The side pocket is the perfect place to keep a knife or box cutter, leaving your other pockets free. And the zip pocket comes in clutch when you need some extra security for your valuables! Stylish, and with just enough extra storage to make other shorts feel inadequate while retaining a sleek form factor, these shorts are equally at home on the job site or strolling down the Champs Elysee!

Comfort and reliability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pants are comfortable and reliable. I appreciate the secure zipper pocket. A virtue of these pants is that one can work out in them without constraint [and the pockets are such that you can even have things in them and comfortably do exercises that put stress on them]
