The Amazon is a land of superlatives. The complex ecosystem covers an area about the size of the continental U.S. The Amazon River discharges 57 million gallons of water per second--in two hours, this would be enough to supply all of New York City's 7.5 million residents with water for a year. Its flora and fauna are abundant. Approximately one of every four flowering plant species on earth resides in the Amazon. A single Amazonian river may contain more fish species than all the rivers in Europe combined. It is home to the world's largest anteater, armadillo, freshwater turtle, and spider, as well as the largest rodent (which weighs over 200 lbs.), catfish (250 lbs.), and alligator (more than half a ton). The rainforest, which contains approximately 390 billion trees, plays a vital role in stabilizing the global climate by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide--or releasing it into the atmosphere if the trees are destroyed. Severe droughts in both Brazil and Southeast Asia have been linked to Amazonian deforestation, as have changing rainfall patterns in the U.S., Europe, and China. The Amazon also serves as home to millions of people. Approximately seventy tribes of isolated and uncontacted people are concentrated in the western Amazon, completely dependent on the land and river. These isolated groups have been described as the most marginalized peoples in the western hemisphere, with no voice in the decisions made about their futures and the fate of their forests. In this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know� series, ecologist and conservation expert, Mark J. Plotkin, who has spent 40 years studying Amazonia, its peoples, flora, and fauna. The Amazon offers an engaging overview of this irreplaceable ecosystem and the challenges it faces.Binding Type: Paperback

Pocket and ability to hook my speaker to
Size: 32, Color: Black, Size: 32, Color: Black
I can't believe how comfortable they are and I'm very happy with all the pockets in the shorts. I bought the black as it my favorite color but will definitely be ordering all the colors available as they can be used as dress shorts.

Great shorts
Size: 34, Color: A-army Green
Ideal for everyday wear. I got 3 pairs before even trying them & I must say, they are really good. The pocket zippers get caught every now & then, but easy enough to correct. They look decent, easy wash & dry quickly, comfortable, plenty of pockets. Great buy for the price.

Great Shorts! bad zippers.
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
1st off these are basically swim trunks. I like the design of the shorts and the appearance, they are very lightweight and quick drying and overall serve all of MY purposes. If you're buying them for secure front pockets that close with the zippers just don't buy them. The zippers on the front "cargo" spot of the shorts broke on the second wearing. If you have nothing better to do than try to fix them by all means they can be fixed short term and then eventually they just separate again. The pockets work fine (they are ALL mesh lined pockets) for just putting stuff in them but securing them (at least in the case of the pair i am wearing right now) isn't an option with the zippers. That said the fly itself hasn't failed me. The back pockets have ONE velcro closure on the inside so you can reach into them easily without two velcro closures to fight with which i think is a good design.

Read the review for actual product review
Size: 36, Color: A-dark Grey
I had to return ( and re order ) because the sizing as most with these non american sizes got me like man others.
Fitment was not bad, they are a bit longer than I prefer, however the issue I had was not there.
I ordered an xl I believe and the size I got was a 36, a 34 would have likly been a better fit and will try that on my re order.
As far as the material goes, they are thin, they are light, and you could use these for anything that has to do with water, even possibly swimming.
The design is not bad, they do not feel like something that you would want to be to aggressive in ie. work environment where cuts are prone as these would offer no protection at all.
As the sellers title says, ( Outdoor hiking, quick dry, travel cargo shorts, golf fishing etc. )
Leave out the whole tactical thought here. These are not tactical, they do not even need to be considered tactical at all. For those like me who are trying to find a cheaper alternative to expensive clothing for work, etc... these fit the bill, just need to figure out your proper sizing. I normally wear a 34 in pants and shorts which gives me a little room for my concealed carry, and 32 when Im not carrying. So the size 36 that I got would not be a valid option, but the 34 would / should be a more true fit.
The material, to me, it felt like and sounded like a light wind suit or windbreaker jacket.. just to give you some sort of comparison.
