Well, even though it's going to snow again this week, spring will be here eventually. It's time to start thinking about warm weather. Last year, my old cargo shorts split all around the waistband, and I finally had to turn them into polishing rags. So, I'm in the market for some new ones. I will probably buy two types. Some lightweight, non-cotton, quick drying pairs for weekend hiking/biking and daily walking, and a canvas pair for casual use.
I prefer shorts without a built-in belt, since that limits my ability to wear a belt sheath or pouch, but that is not an absolute requirement. I would like at least one pocket to have a zipper or other very secure closure. And, a knife pocket would be put to good use...
The cargo pockets don't need to be huge. In fact, I find that weighing them down with too much stuff makes them a little awkward and uncomfortable. Beyond that, I don't have a lot of criteria, so I'm open to suggestions. I started looking at a bunch of brands at retail and online stores, but there are too many to sort them all out.
Your thoughts?
