A great versatile pair of shorts for work or play

My go to shorts. Love the side pockets design and look. A plus is they are comfortable and well made, with a great selection of colors. Bought 2 so far and will be adding more

Almost perfect

I always love kuhl products. Every now and again though one or two features are off just a little. For these shorts I wish they had more belt loops and a metal button for the closure. Everything else is great. Would highly recommend

12 inch inseam is the best!

Love the 12 inch inseam. I have a bubble butt and do not like bending over with most shorts. No plumbers crack with these shorts. Pockets are perfect when needing to carry a pocket knife and lighters.

Great do everything shorts. Fit well with plenty of pockets that come in handy when needed. Ordered more to replace the ones I have that are probably 4 years old.

Most durable, toughest cargo shorts

My husband has many shorts from Kuhl but as soon as he saw these he had to have at least 3 colors, which he wore every single day on rotation (we live in FL and he works from home, hikes with dog, walks for miles, goes in the water etc). He also wears them out and to restaurants and never looks “grungy”. For over a year all 3 never stretched, ...

GREAT SHORTS!!!! Purchased for my husband who has strong legs and round butt - BROAD & MUSCULAR (Lucky me). He has 5 pair of this style and several others with Cargo pockets - loves the fit, comfort and ability to easily grab his phone out of the cargo pocket! My only complaint with KUHL is the seam/stitching issue. Between he and I, we've had...

Best Cargo Shorts I’ve Owned

I’ve been really impressed with these Ambush cargo shorts. The quality is excellent the fabric feels durable without being too heavy, which makes them comfortable to wear all day. The fit is spot-on, and they move well whether you’re walking around town, working, or just relaxing.

Sturdy and rugged

I buy a new pair of Ambush cargo shorts about every other year. They're sturdy and rugged and hold up very well. In fact the only reason why I replace them is that the color fades to the point I don't like wearing them.
