I own at least 6 pair of these shorts. I live in Florida. These are a perfect weight/fabric for Florida. I live in these shorts. Just watch out as the shorts seem to reach out and grab cabinet handles and door handles. Then you either destroy/remove the handle/knob, or rip your shorts. Or both. You learn to avoid such shorts grabbers. Just use the damaged shorts for terminal jobs such as coating driveways, so as to save your good shorts for better purposes. They are so comfortable and movement is effortless. For CCW purposes there is a magazine pocket on the left side and a flashlight/knife pocket on the right side. Seriously, there has not been a day that I can remember in the past 10 years that I have not worn these shorts for at least part of the day. They also machine wash and drip dry to a great wearable condition. They shrug off things that normally stain. I recommend them highly. (Just watch out for those pants grabbers)
