I loved the combination of meshwork and camouflage for these shorts. The meshwork is on both sides with the camo fabric wrapping around the front and the back. Thankfully, these work together quite well. I was expecting a relatively inexpensive construction. However, I was pleasantly surprised that the construction of these shorts was well made. There weren't any loose threads or uneven stitching. After giving it a few quick tugs, I could tell that the fabric and stitching also held together well, too. The meshwork doesn't itch too badly and the camo fabric is very smooth and silky, a great match.

Its strong construction is necessary because it is a one size fits all product. I am about a size 34-36" waist depending on the brand. These shorts fit a little snug on me. I would suggest that a waist size of 28-32" would probably be the most comfortable. Although the shorts stretch, they are not elastic. If you have a waist size less than 28" then I don't think you'll be able to keep them up very well. Really, the size isn't one-size-fits-most but medium.

The feature I like the most about the cam-mesh shorts is the mesh. It's not too scratchy and is rather cool - temperature wise. By contrast though, the camo fabric (polyester blend) does not breathe that well. After wearing the shorts for about 10-15 minutes, I started to get a little hot. Furthermore, the shorts themselves did not fit that well around the legs and waist. The shorts had the tendency to raise around the crotch and sag in the back. I felt myself adjusting the band or resituating the shorts every few minutes. As a result, I highly recommend that these shorts - which I still love - only be worn for a few minutes to avoid driving yourself crazy. In the same vein, I anticipated that the tag in the back would be itchy, but surprisingly, I did not notice the tag at all. Besides problems with fitting or staying put, the only other drawback to the shorts are the washing directions - hand wash separately.

I wore the camo shorts for most of the day one weekend. My wife thought they were really hot so I didn't keep them on for very long. I suppose that's the whole point of them anyway. The other thing, besides sizing issues, that is a drawback to these shorts is care. The shorts are hand wash and line dry only which makes them a little of an inconvenience to keep them in a regular rotation of underwear.

I've worn the Camo shorts few times now, and they've held up nicely. I've only hand-washed them, so I haven't seen any distortion in size. Most importantly, my wife still thinks they're sexy whenever I wear them and has to touch them every time.
