These are a wonderful pair of shorts. The pockets take all of my bits and bobs. They dry quickly which is essential in the UK weather!!

Little bit disappointing

Bought these for my husband as he has had other cargo shorts from M & S. The fabric is now different and has a more synthetic feel. The cargo pockets have strange folds which don’t lie flat. They are lightweight and look sort of okay.

Great cargo technical shorts. Have been buying them for years from M&S but fabric this year is even better, crease resistant. Useful pockets that zip up for extra security. Lovely fit. He’s very pleased with them.

I like them!!

Not being cotton they don’t crease or hold creases so much. Easy to wear and comfortable. The expandable waist gives you a little room to move.

Pockets!

No, I don't recommend this

The pockets have pleats that make them baloon out and look bulky even without any contents

Lightweight and comfortable

Yes, I recommend this

My partner has two pairs. They're extremely comfortable, stretchy, lightweight and great value. They wash well. All we need is some sunshine and once that shows its face he won't be wearing anything else.

My husband wears these shorts year round and has buying them for a few years. They are comfortable, hard wearing and wash well. He bought in navy and black this time. He was disappointed the mid-grey/slate option is missing this time as he'd have purchased those too.
