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.

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.

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

Great pants, and the snaps on the pockets are much longer-lasting than velcro, which loses adhesion over time.
