Customer Reviews for L.L.Bean Men's Tropic-Weight Comfort Waist Cargo Shorts, 6" Inseam
View Product DetailsCustomer Reviews
What customers say:
The Tropic-Weight Cargo Shorts are generally well-received for their comfortable 6-inch inseam, flexible elastic waistband, and lightweight, breathable fabric that provides good durability, though some find the material a bit stiff initially. The cargo pockets are useful, though a few wish they were slightly larger. Overall, the shorts are described as well-made, stylish, and versatile for various activities. However, some noted inconsistencies in sizing and quality compared to previous versions, and disappointment that the 32-inch waist size is no longer available.

Like the shorts, especially the 6" inseams. BUT, on the shale color, the zippers are sticky and rough to use.
Other colors are fine.

Very comfortable fit but if you keep your cell phone in the cargo pocket, very good chance, it won’t fit. I just bought 3 pair of these and there’s a good chance they are off to Go
