Check your size carefully
These are excellent shorts, very comfortable, fit just past the knee and feel like there are built to last.
The sizes are tight though. 36inches for example is the measurement for the material used not the button position and as such if you're borderline between one size and another I'd recommend the larger size to be safe and use a belt.
Very good quick service from MeanandGreen, thanks.
Pros: Strong buttons, Nice camo pattern, Thickness, Build quality
Cons: Tight sizes
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Best shorts ever
I bought these a while ago now and they've been perfect since the day they arrived. Made from great quality material, very comfortable. I even use them for rock climbing because they dont chafe or pinch and they're even a bit strechy when they need to be. Brilliant product. I'll probably get another pair
Pros: Good value, Look great, Tough, Lightweight
Cons: There are none
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent
I've owned a pair of these for 4 years and they still look as good as new. I seem to live in them in the summer months. They are 'heavy duty' but with that comes long lasting and rugged. Just ordered another 2 pairs and arrived 2 days later, so excellent service as well.
Can't recommend these shorts enough, a great price also.
Pros: Good value, Look great, Long lasting
Cons: none
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Cons: Buttons not velcro on pockets
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

Great but big
When I received the shorts, i was excited. Great strong material. Very popular. What I didn't realise is, they would be long on me as I'm not that tall. Doesn't matter though because I wear them as 3/4's.
Pros: Great quality, Strong Material
Cons: Bit long for me
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes

My fave shorts!
Bought a pair of the woodland camo ones for a holiday trip. Wore them non-stop the whole time I was away. When I got back I bought 2 more pairs in other colours. These are the most comfortable shorts I've ever owned. And they look pretty damn fashionable too! I highly recommend them.
Pros: Strong pockets, Heavy weight material
Cons: Buttons can be bit stiff
Sizing: Feels about right
Would recommend: Yes
