Good casual shorts, not very stretchy

The shorts fit well and are fine for casual activities, but the title "Stretch Cargo Short" is a bit misleading. They limit my leg mobility too much to climb or hike in them, so I pretty much only use them for casual pursuits which is not quite what I was hoping for.

No stretch as advertised.

Not "Stretchy", lower quality
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Fit:
- True to size
These shorts were very stiff and range of movement was lower than any shorts that I have ever worn upon trying them on. I understand that they may have loosened up after a few washes, but that is not something that I was willing to resist.

I bought these shorts but the second time I wore them the fabric ripped. The fit is good but they are not high quality like other Backcountry products. Do not buy.

They fit just like I was hoping for. I love the extra "secret" pocket it has on the left side. I bought it in green and the color seems about right with the one the image shows. I might buy another pair if more colors become available.

Love the green color and the fit on these shorts! They are a great length too, not too long or baggy which is an issue I run into a lot. They are a little stiff at first but after a few uses and a few times through the wash, they are super comfy now. I've used these on several hikes and into the office. Perfect for being active or casual.
