Good shorts - Really good shorts. I got them a size larger than recommended for my waist for more bagginess. I like the fact that the side adjustment tabs let me go belt free. Hook-and-loop pockets are ok, but not totally secure if you are moving around a lot. My cell phone has fallen out a couple of times. Same complaint as a previous review about jangling zippers. I ran some cord through the zipper pull base to dampen the sound a bit.

Love the shorts, hate the zippers... Love the look, feel, and fit of the short. Don't like the jangling of the zipper pulls. I sound like a dog with too many tags on its collar walking around. They should replace the metal pulls with high quality plastic. I have the Kuhl Eiger shorts which were the impetus to buy the Z Cargo. Eiger shorts are a little heavier material, less pockets, slightly longer inseam. Otherwise the same thing.

These shorts are Just Amazing. There Durable and comfy rolled into one. The materials they use are unlike most shorts, but make them so unique. I recommend them for anyone who likes style and comfort

Great shorts. Dry fit material drys fast. Feels light and wears very nice. Length could be a little longer over the knee for current styling.

Design flaw and terrible service - I thought these shorts were amazing so I bought 3 pairs. They were ok for a couple of wears, but after 3 wash cycles they have begun to tear near the crotch. If you examine the shorts, all of the stitching in the front comes to a point in 1 lightly reinforced spot. It is a true design flaw.

I bought two pairs of these and wore them for quite awhile. Love their feel, look, and basic style but they do have some design flaws! The stitching starts to tear apart at the bottom of the fly where the bunch stitching is. I'm not crazy about the snap closure (wish it was a button type), the zipper tends to come undone a bit at the top, and I wish it had a gusset crotch. I think that if if had more nylon or all nylon it be more durable but the trade off might be the feel which is very nice now! If all of the above were to be incorporated they would be by far the best shorts out there hands down!
