Ambush™ Cargo
These lightweight, quick-drying cargo shorts feature nine pockets and innovative venting for hiking comfort. Built with flexible stretch and UPF 50+ sun protection.
I have these in allnof the colors (2 in khaki). The fit is comfortable but not too loose. Material moves and breathes well without being so light that you worry you forgot to wear pants. But best of all? The pockets. Someone who actually weats and uses cargo pockets designed these. They're not overly flaired. The zippers are perfect. The right cargo pocket has a main area and two small divided sections, great for clipping in a small knife, multitool or light so they don't flop around. Outside of the left cargo pocket is a small velcro-secured pocket- great for a lighter, compass etc. I can't say enough good about these shorts. As someone who wears shorts year-round, these have ended a decade-plus quest for the perfect pair. Thanks.

Great shorts.
Durable and long lasting. I replaced a 5-year old pair (still serviceable), because I outgrew them. The pockets are useful, not superfluous. The color ages nicely over the years.

Comfortable and light. Well designed and made.
Really pleased with the comfort and weight of these shorts. They're perfect for the weeks on end of 90+ degree weather in the southwest. They breath well and flex around the thighs. They have the comfortable feel of cotton with tech developments that make them much more practical for hot weather. Additionally, the cargo pockets are very useful...

Long Inseam
Just about every man I know right now is struggling to find longer shorts (12” inseam). Shorter shorts came back into style and now that is all you can find. These shorts are 12”! They are amazing too and look great. We’ve gotten two pairs for my husband and I will be buying more for other men that have been on the hunt. My husband says the on...

Great for HOT weather
Love the light weight for the heat of the summer. Really pleased with this purchase. I love the pockets. They function like cargo shorts but the pockets are subtle so they don’t really look like cargo shorts. Subtly functional. These are now my go-to shorts. I’m thankful they showed up in time for a couple weeks of 90+ degree weather in Colora...
