“I like them . Plus , many pockets! For my things and belt loops for a belt, Rip stop fabric. The minus’s , Velcro is cheep on rear pockets and all around. They seem like there a little stiff on the M82 Tacticals nydc feel like they should have used more quality a zippered pocket would be nice and when you jump In the truck front pockets like to empty out especially change and then anything else will slide right off . Example On my fly bridge on my 42’ Viking seats I’ve had change and some small idem’s . Down they went ! And if I hand my phone in there I’m sure it would have gone in the water too especially if I did not have a huge defender case it was on the way out I felt it move . Front pocket’s are not good in sitting possession. And Velcro is two small square ones that I can tell they will be a problem soon . Over all for the price they need to have this fixed for captain’s and anglers alike . 4 stars because of the other things but just keep your things in a pack or something else. ( but kinda defeats the front pocket all together. Hope this helps I’m a full on water man Florida raised world traveled . I do like them and the company for years . Just have them tested my the targeted clients (like myself that are on the ocean 4days a week at least . Hop this helps ( great shorts other wise ) just know your front pocket is just a temporary place if on land standing up only. Cheers !”
“As professional angler I’ve these are the most reliable shorts I’ve ever worn, rather I’m chasing Largemouth Bass in heat of the dessert Chasing Bluefin offshore. I even wear these shorts under bibs, they dry extremely fast, and don’t hold oder”
“Full disclosure I’m a huge fan of AFTCO, most of my wardrobe, shorts wise is AFTCO. They fit well, stretch when you need them to stretch, like out fishing, sweaty and wet. They dry out very quickly and once back at the dock, you can’t tell they went through 12 hours of being offshore. Great quality and the customer service is excellent! I have a couple of their foul weather jackets as well, very comfortable and actually stylish! 120% worth every penny!”
