The Allagash Cargo Shorts are generally well-received as high-quality, durable, and comfortable shorts with useful pockets. Customers appreciate the sturdy construction, snap closures on the pockets, and the zippered security pocket. The shorts are described as true to size with a relaxed fit. However, some customers have noted that the latest version has seen design changes, such as the removal of the second zippered pocket and the switch from button to snap closures, which are not as well-liked as the previous model. Additionally, a few reviewers found the material to be stiffer or heavier than expected.
I have several pairs and functionaly love them, but most all the colors (minus white) are drab. Stacked together they all look the same. “Light” gray, coral, light blue or yellow

Same exact comfort and feel as older pair
Fit: True to size
I'm very happy with this purchase, as it replaces an older pair of L.L. Bean shorts that I still have.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that these shorts have a zippered pocket.

Fit: True to size
Material is very strong, but also fairly stiff. I dislike the snap flaps on the rear pockets. They are inconvenient, and when left unsnapped the flaps become folded, creased, etc

Great cargo shorts for daily wear. Especially like the snaps (vice buttons) on the pocket flaps. Wish the front and rear pockets were slightly deeper.
