These really are nice shorts, and I DO like them. But I have to knock a star off for one issue:The knife pockets are way too inset. 5.11 Taclite/ABR pants/shorts are an example of a PERFECTLY positioned knife pocket. On the Propper, they are way too close to the crotch, and it can make sitting down uncomfortable with any knife larger than a Para 3. Also, the material they use for the pockets doesn't seem as tough as the pant material.And speaking of 5.11, they put a knife pocket on the right side and a mag pouch on the left. To me, that's ideal. While I am not opposed to dual knife pockets, it would be nice to see something like that.Are these great shorts? Yes. They are. They're comfortable, they seem durable, they do a GREAT job of keeping your shirt tucked in, better than any other company out there. They line the waist with this silicone-like strip that will whistle if your run your finger over it. Time will tell how long that strip will last, though. For as long as it will, it does a GREAT job of keeping your shirt tucked in.I really do like them, and I will likely buy more. But it would be nice if they beefed up the material on the knife pocket and moved it an inch or so to the right.
