How to Measure

Diagram showing where to measure chest, natural waist, and hips.

CHEST:

Measure just under arms and across shoulder blades holding the tape firm and level. If your chest falls between sizes, order the next size up.

NATURAL WAIST:

Bend side to side and find the natural bend in your body; this is your natural waist. Note: It may not be the smallest point.

HIPS:

Measure the fullest point between your natural waist and crotch.

Note: For best results measure over your undergarments. Use a cloth measuring tape.

Fits

Slim Fit: slimmer through hip and thigh; straight leg. Relaxed Fit: relaxed through hip and thigh; tapered leg. Loose Fit: full through hip and thigh; wide leg.

Good shorts but not as great as they used to be!
This is my third pair of the Ripstop Cargo Short and if you are not aware they have changed. Some for the better and some not. I like the addition of the reinforced front pocket for a measuring tape to clip onto, it's easier to use. Personally, I feel the phone pocket has changed and the snaps on the cargo pockets are a nuisance. Overall and most importantly for me the sizing is slightly smaller and the fit seems to get caught up(almost binds) while bending down or squatting. The durability still seems solid but the comfort isn't as good as my previous pairs. So if you are close to a size order up one.

Lowered standards
They look nice. Fit well. The material so much more thin than the quality of Carhartt we are used too. Its a sad day when Carhartt, a good quality name we trusted for decades, has now reduced its standards. Bring back the thicker quality, please.

Right amount of pockets
The right amount of pockets for my eye glasses and cell phone!

Rip Ridiculously Easy. Super Expensive to Replace 3-4 Pairs Every 3 Months.
I find it hilarious or just plain sarcasm for Carhartt to call these shorts and their pants that match "Rip-Stop" when all they do is rip with one day's work. The Rip-Stop have these little horizontal lines that go thru them which I believe is supposed to stop a rip from spreading but the rips actually always originate at those lines and spread so fast, your whole crotch or rear end will be hanging out before you can get home and changed. Never cared for the rough material they make the jeans and shorts in as I feel like I'm wearing cardboard and they are super hot and uncomfortable but at least they last me longer than a month. I'm literally spending approximately $600 dollars on Carhartt shorts and jeans each year with literally nothing to show for it after each season is over. Might as well go back to buying cheap shorts and pants from local big box stores because at least they will be a fraction of the cost to replace constantly instead of Carhartt prices.
