To see people like you whine over what other adults wear. Why else?

And then all of the added fabric and weight of the actual shorts is also not more comfortable.

Do you guys wear pants/shorts with the fake women's pockets or something? I've never had trouble fitting my phone in my front pocket



Well, since I have cargo shorts, why would I not use the cargo pockets. Also, when you're sitting down, on a mower, it's easier to dig something out of my cargo pocket than a front pocket. I don't wear skin tight clothing, but I also don't wear super baggy shorts. If you have a phone in your front pocket, it is tight when you sit down. I have an otter box case on my phone.

Strength has nothing do with it.

It is about comfort. Added, unnecessary weight, especially in the heat, is simply not comfortable.

Cargo shorts literally have no purpose in life. Accept it.

I agree. That is why I don't own cargo shorts.

If I am going for comfort and not doing much around the house, I wear gym shorts. Otherwise, I am usually doing something that makes it convenient to have room for a bit of extra cargo. Typically I wear jeans and boots for major projects. I don't have a reason to wear shorts without cargo pockets, thus, the reason I don't own any. Any place that I would go that you would wear regular shorts, cargos are just as acceptable, otherwise, I dress better with some form of pants.

Nothing wrong with cargo shorts. I really don’t care what other dudes wear.

I’m a 5” inseam short-shorts kinda guy, no hate from me.

No, that's why I prefer Carhartt's Ultility shorts. I have a special place for my hammer and these shorts will last 20 years.

How would you know this if you have never worn any?

What the hell are you putting in them?

You're complaining about the added weight of cargo shorts fabric and advocating for tool belts?

weight distribution on your hips is way more practical/comfortable than at your thighs

Nope, don't own any of those. Reading some of these posts, they sound convenient at times though.
