Helly-HansenMen's Jotun QD Cargo Shorts 11"

These shorts are cool in hot weather, fit very well in my odd size of 33” waist, and the pockets are the right spot in the right size. Easy to wash and wear. Good quality construction like all HH products. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for

First off, I am not the kind of person who would pay $50 for shorts, however after researching tons of shorts online I came to the conclusion these may be the only ones that had the features I wanted (Quick dry, look nice, not long but not super short). I have worn the shorts for about 34 days our of my 40 days of study abroad and exploration of Europe and they have gone above and beyond my expectations. Here's why:1) They are comfortable (not basketball shorts comfortable) but still pretty damn comfortable. I've walked roughly 25-50 miles over my trip so far and these bad boys felt great. A little stretchy and good length in my opinion just covering the knees or slightly above the knees how I like my shorts.2) They don't small (normally this wouldn't be an issue but when you are backpacking through Europe you don't always have a place to wash your clothes. I honestly think I could have gone the whole trip without washing this (I didn't test that theory through) I washed these about once a week, but even after a week of heavy walking no odor at all.3) They look good. These are no dress shorts (are there such a thing?) but they look great with a button up and tennies.4) The lower side button pockets are great for holding whatever you need and I never lost anything from them during the trip even when sitting, standing, running, etc.Improvements:There are awesome shorts and I plan to pick up one other in another color but HH could improve them still.1) Side pockets don't work well (not sure if they could make them deeper or reshape them) but they just don't do the job. Nothing really fits and when small thins do fit they would fall out most times I sat down.2) They take longer to dry than I had hoped. I wanted these to be shorts I could wear to the river or beach and be dry by the hike back but they take over a day or two (depending on temperature) to completely air dry. Not a big deal but if you are reading this HH you could make these bad boys even better.3) Back zip pocket is great for documents small paper (very flat stuff) but doesn't work for much else. It's also very long which is a little strange (no complaints) just think it could be better somehow.Well there you have it these are the best multiple purpose shorts I have owned to date in my 27 years on this earth and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking. They seem like they could last forever with proper wash and dry care and I look forward to test this out by wearing them even when I return from backpacking.Great job HH thumbs up over here.

These shorts are of good quality overall. However, they run a bit small and have limited elasticity. Despite these drawbacks, they are still well-made and durable.

These are great looking shorts and they are also very comfortable. They are lightweight, so they're good in really hot weather. I saw reviews stating that they don't stretch, but they actually do. I think people expect them to be spandex-type stretchy, but they're not. They have just enough stretch to allow you to move around freely, which is nice.

The shorts are well fitted and the material is light wieght. I tend to sweat lots and the material dries rather quickly. The cargo pockets allow for the use of carrying extras while keeping your upper pockets free for your hands.

Fit was as expected and quality top notch as usual from HH.

I wear these everyweek i love them

The materials seem high quality but the pockets fell apart after wearing them only once, the seam came undone completely
