Customer Reviews for Carhartt Mens's 44 in. Shadow Cotton/Polyester BS3543 Force Relaxed Fit Ripstop Cargo Short

The shorts were really comfortable and were tough when it comes to the belt straps and the pocket seams. I live in a high humidity environment and they kept me dry in all but the worst conditions. However mine are starting to have a hole worn in the fork of the legs after only about four months of use. I used my shorts heavily and washed them weekly, following all washing instructions. I feel like maybe they should have lasted longer under the workload like some of my other Carhart products have.

Very comfortable for winter wear. Sturdy construction. No shrinkage was washing.

Very heavy duty short. Good for if you are working where you may snag them. Does take a while to dry in the dryer however.

Overall great everday shorts! For me they run a little small in size. I normally wear 36", these I had to get 38" on a reorder.

Good shorts just wish you could make size a bit more like your waist size not having to go up 3 or 4 more inches, not true to size like pants were made 10 years ago

Strange pockets. Velcro sucks. No place for knife or tape measure on pockets.

Comfortable, cool, good fit, and plenty of pockets. Too soon to know how durable they will be, but the fabric looks promising.

No I hated them No cargo pockets A long time ago I bought 10 Pair of shorts I have tried to reorder them but got something 2 I wish I had the model number of these old ones I would probably buy 10 more Heinz kirstein

I want to like this, but I absolutely hate them. I’ve had them for 2 months and both back pockets have holes in them and the front left pocket has a hole and my keys just fall right through them. I wish that would bring back the force tappen shorts. I miss having pockets on the back with flaps that close. My force tappens felt much better built and heavier duty. These feel and looks cheap. Really seems like carhartt is just getting worse and worse every single year which is very disheartening.

I like the feel and the fit of these really durable shorts the ripsrop ones are light and don’t bulk up so bad I have about 5 pairs I’ve bought because I like them so much.

Best work shorts ever. They last a long time even in a manual labor job. They fit normal.

Great short! Super comfortable. True to size. Wear these every day

Great shorts. Comfortable, easy care. Love them. My favorite go-to shorts. BUT…PLEASE restock waist size 34 in all colors!

Very comfortable, great fit, have a quality feel about them.

These tough shorts held up to a week of hiking and scrambling rocks across the moonscape of Big Bend National Park, in the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas. This will be my new go-to for rough outdoors activities.

Better than expected. But then what else to expect from Carhartt! Great fit, practicality and style. Would like a little deeper cell phone side pocket and I’ve never been a fan of velcro pocket closures but those are fairly minor details overall.

Great but order a one size bigger than you actually wear.

These are my favorite type of shorts. You didn't let me down when I ordered new ones as I cycled lesser ones manufactured from others out of my wardrobe. Thank You!

These are nice shorts and Carhartt is always a great choice!

pretty good shorts. fits nice. good choice for a hot sweaty summer day. thinner material but a tough reliable material

Great pair of shorts.

Love, a slight bit long for a short person, but that is cargo pant in ur always. Great durability, heat reduction and quick dry (wicking)

Wasn’t sure about this redesign of the classic cargo short. But they feel great. Seem like they are made as well as my previous pairs that lasted over 6 years of daily work. I have two in each color. Wear them all the time for work.

Love the shorts ?? fit great and are very lite to wear

Fit good and are very comfortable. I would recommend these to everyone

Bought these for my grandson and he loved them. Must wash and wear well because they last a long time.

Great product, comfy, rip stop was great on our colorado hiking trip.

Size is way smaller than other carhart work shorts I have. I expected the fir to be the same and washed before trying them on. Now I’m unable to return them. I doubt I’ll ever by your products again as I can’t trust the sizing. Scott

Great shorts, I’ve owned just about every brand of cargo shorts and these are the best. They’re durable and comfortable, others are durable but not comfortable and those that are comfortable aren’t durable. I’m hard on clothing due to working in the trades. I will continue to buy Carhartt because they are quality.
