OK Shorts, just!

I was a little surprised as the web site description didn’t say these were longer length. I was going to send them back but decided to keep them as there was so little choice.

Not as good as previous generation

Originally posted on marksandspencer.com (UK)

Previous years Technical Cargo Shorts were excellent, these seem to be this years replacement, whilst comfortable they lack the practicality of the previous versions. I think they have tried to keep the price point, but failed with an inferior product

A really good comfortable pair of shorts. I would have liked them to be a little less baggy, but that said, I’ve just bought another pair in a different colour.

Bought as a work short for my son who wears them all year round. Struggles to get shorts to fit around thighs and backside due to his shape but super pleased with these and the different colours they come in.

Purchased these for myself, as length better than womens shorts. Though initially didnt like the patch pockets, I will be able to put my phone and some cash in them rather than take a bag out when walking. Nice material havent worn or washed as yet.

A improvement in quality

They are shorts, they are not going to save the planet if a meteorite hurtles towards Earth. Why ask silly questions, the simple answer is- if they sell, then they are wanted, if they do not, then the style, colour, sizing will be wrong.
