PortwestS790 Men's High Performance Comfort Combat Cargo Work Shorts

I've bought a few Portwest items over the years and have always found them to be very good. These shorts are no exception and I find them to be excellent.They were listed as "XL" which is a bit vague and can be a bit of a pain when choosing the size to get. There is actually a label on the shorts that says 41". With the elastic not stretched they appear to be a 38" and at full stretch a 44". For me, at about mid-stretch of elastic they are a perfect fit.They are a 65/35 polyester/cotton mix and they are very comfortable to wear (I've been using them when gardening). Pockets-wise there are two front normal pockets (that you might just shove your hands in as you wait for something kind of pockets), the right-hand back pocket has a Velcro fastening, the left-hand back pocket has no closure. The right-hand leg has a large-is Velcro fastening pocket with a small Velcro fastening pocket that would perhaps hold a few keys perhaps. The left-hand leg has has two slim (open) pockets that would fit a ruler or a mobile phone perhaps.There's a zip fly fastener and a clasp instead of a button above the zip (the lack of any buttons is presumably designed to stop anything snarling on them). Although they have elastic on the waist at the back, there are also belt loops should you want to use a belt (I use braces with them and find that that works fine).For washing, the label says 60 degrees, though I'm sure they was fine at thirty degrees also.All in all I can't fault these shorts and would definitely recommend them.

Fit well, nice light material, lots of handy pockets, perfect length.Only one downside for me: all the good practical pockets are on the right hand side. so if I'm carrying a few things, all the weight is on that side.But still, very nice shorts 👌👍, I'm going to buy a 2nd pair.

I bought a pair of these to wear under coveralls but I find them so comfortable that I'm wearing them a lot more.

Good value Good working shorts very comfortable 👌

Been using them every day for the last month and they are definitely handy for the summer time. Very light.The quality isn't the best, but then again... price is cheap.

(I am coming at this from a mechanics viewpoint)Being a chubby lil fat fat I have had issues with the fit of work pants / shorts for a while. I like a more baggy fit and these do just the job.Shorts have held up way better than 'branded' products I have used in the past. Still going strong with no signs of fraying or tearing anywhere. Nice big main pockets which is great for me to store my choccys in!! yum yum.

Good fit

Brilliant shorts, these are the 4th pair I've bought so that should tell folk what they're like. They wash great (no fadeing), feel nice & in this hot weather that's a big bonus. The elastic back of the waistband means ya don't get "brickys bum". I would recommend them to anyone, they're great value & very well made 10/10 from me.
