Reviews

Great fit and super lightweight!

"I really like these. The fit is really nice, and the material is extremely light fitting. There's a ton of pockets! I find them to be quite cool feeling as well. I assume because of the light fabric. I'll be looking into a few more pair for sure!"

Comfortable Shorts

"I got these shorts and was impressed right off the bat at how comfortable they are. Sizing goes all the way up to 56, and for a bigger guy, these shorts fit near perfectly. The pockets are mesh, and enable an abundance of air flow to keep me cool on really hot days. The side pockets are sufficient for my phone and wallet. The shorts also provide protection from the sun, which I appreciate working out doors. The best part of these shorts is that they seem to take the sweat off my body, and cool me off. They look sharp enough for going out for a casual lunch, but can also be worn just for hanging around. Great set of shorts for any wardrobe."

True to size

"One word in my mind for these shorts - AMAZING! I have a hard time finding shorts that not only fit right, but are comfortable when wearing them for long rides. I am in and out of my work truck on long rides daily. The Propper summer weight shorts are casual enough for the weekend but I can dress them up enough to be professional when seeing customers. The size is on point. The length is just below the knee and the crotch area is very relaxed. After washing, just fold and put away. I did not have any problem with wrinkles, shrinking or seams coming apart. I loved these so much, I plan on buying a few to replace other shorts that never fit just right - as these do. Highly recommend."

"Wide tolerances industry standard"!? Seems lazy..

"Product not sold as described; 38" item came to measure 39.5". On the phone, some staff at Propper stood by their belief that adding 1.5 inches to the waist length is 'industry standard', where another apologized and said those wide tolerances should be readily visible before an item is added to the cart and purchased. Refunded immediately with Propper footing the shipping bill."

Perfect for hot weather CCW

"I live in Florida, just got my concealed carry permit and have been continuously bummed that I can’t carry my EC9s in anything comfortably, and without my gun being very noticeable. Then I put these on. I’ve had them for a couple of years and they are everything that the others have said and now they have real purpose. My gun is in a pocket holster and it disappears in my front pocket. It’s not the best situation because it’s a little hard to draw, but what can you ask for when all you wear is shorts and a T-shirt over 300 days a year? I will now be buying about ten pairs of these. I should have known Propper would be the ones to come through. I’ve been wearing their BDU’s for 15 years. Quality clothes at a very fair price."

Breadfan (5/5)

Excellent shorts

"These light weight shorts have been perfect for humid mississippi summers. I can wear them to work or on the weekends, they look nice and my wife doesn't fuss! There's no shortage of pockets!! They have held up to the washer and dryer and all the fence building jobs I've worn them to. Definitely would recommend"
