Rugged Flex®

Rugged Flex
 

Carhartt Rugged Flex® technology moves and stretches with you throughout the day so that whatever you're doing, it's easier to do.

Rugged Flex® garments must meet the Carhartt's defined standards for stretch, recovery, and durability, so when you put on a Rugged Flex® garment, you know it won't let you down. You'll find Rugged Flex® in shorts, shirts, pants, jackets, and boots because you need gear that helps you move, not gear that holds you back.

Comfortable and Versatile
My favorite summer shorts. Perfect fit for me. Comfortable and due to cotton content are cool and comfortable in the summer heat. I can wear them shopping or fencing. They are still comfortable. Just hope they come back in stock soon and are the same quality I expect from Carhart. Keep up the good work.

Perfect
I love them! Loose fitting and are very comfy. The material is rugged yet soft. Lots of pockets to hold all the things. And true to size. I work outside and in a warehouse and these are the perfect shorts for the job.

Great for Work and Play!
These shorts are perfect for work and play! I appreciate having real pockets for various things that I need at work and when I am out and about. The expected durability of Carharrt is present. Good fit and length for me. I have 2 colors and would buy more if available.
