    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.

My New Favorite Shorts!
I have trouble finding shorts that fit right and these are perfect for my shape. I'm on the athletic side with thick legs so anything "skinny" doesn't work for me. I love the lightweight material for warm summer days and the cargo pockets are perfectly placed and large enough to hold my big phone. I just wish they came in more colors!

These shorts fit just right to size. Very comfortable and stain resistant. They don't show wrinkles either.

Runs small.
I used the True Fit Size and ordered the size that I would normally wear from Old Navy but they're too small. I'm not even sure if I can exchange them.

Fit ok
Fit well, just wish they were a bit longer because I wear them at work. Also wish there was a larger side pocket on the legs.

Perfect fit
These are great for kicking around in the garden. Phone fits in the side pocket so you don't end up sitting on it. Wish they came in more colors, I would buy one of each.

Not for me
Even if they did fit me right, and they do not, as both sizes I bought pulled funny at the waist, there are several other reasons I would not buy this short. First, the pockets are not big enough for my phone. In fact one pocket is split in two parts. Thus you have two very small pockets, neither of which I can use. I buy cargo shorts to hold my stuff while walking dogs. These do not hold it. Second, I don’t like the material, it feels stiff. I wish you had not discontinued the longer inseamed, relaxed fit, extreme force shorts that I truly loved. My only complaint with those is that you only had two colors. That I could deal with.

I wear a size 16 in every other type of jeans/shorts, etc. I bought these in an 18 just in case. They run extremely small to size. I am unable to wear these in even an 18. Definitely need to fix the size on these. That's really the ONLY complaint I have about them...otherwise they're great!

Are these just an updated version of the ones that have elastic along the back of the waistband? Is fit the same?
A shopper on Aug 7, 2019
BEST ANSWER: This is a new style for Spring 2019 and it replaces style #102439. The fit is not the same. This style is going to be cut slightly closer to the body than the previous style.
Why don’t the women’s shorts have hammer hooks?
A shopper on Jul 14, 2019
BEST ANSWER: We do offer short styles 103040 and 102094 with the utility band for women.
Do these dri quickly if u get them wet? Going camping in August. Need something fast drying and durable.
A shopper on Apr 27, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes. I’m in the swimming pool service industry and they are lightweight, comfortable and dry quickly. The material seems very durable.
