These are the perfect shorts. Perfect length, pocket placement, waistband flex, and looks. The zipper and especially button seem very durable. I love the smaller secondary front pockets which are perfect more my smaller EDC items such as chapstick, AirPods, lighters, KeyBar keys, small flashlight, etc.
I purchased one pair in each color and would absolutely love to switch over to these shorts if more colors were available, maybe a few other brown/khaki options and some blues/greens and gray. The FDE pair seem much darker in person, so I took a photo that I think shows their true color, not that I am dissatisfied with them.
The waistband has a bit of flex to it at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions which is a clever design. The belt loops easily accept my 1.75” Condor Cobra belt.
I like the material which is mostly nylon, but you do get that little bit of scratchy sound when wearing as you would with say swim trunks. I don’t think this should disuade purchase though given the durability and price-point which I believe to be very fair.
In summary, I highly recommend these shorts. For reference I am 6’4” and 260lbs. My weight fluctuates a little bit so a little flex is nice to have. They seem very durable and well manufactured, and are clearly designed with EDC in mind without looking like cargo shorts and being smartly styled as a sort of chino shorts hybrid without a ridiculously short inseam. They are true to size and comfortable.
I got 2 pair of these shorts for work they’re great. A bit long in the length if they made a pair 2” shorter I would have bought those, but I still wear them in the field all the time.
Fits great! Lightweight but strong. very comfortable, yet sturdy
These are the best shorts I have ever found. They just need to add some more colors.
I just recently purchased 2 pairs of Maverick shorts. I have been wearing the Mars. Gear Balkan flex tactical pants for several years and have become very attached to having the side pocket on my hip. Just under my belt, I keep a flashlight and a Leatherman. In it, they're out of the way and it is a very convenient place to carry them. I decided to try the Maverick shorts because of the same pocket works very well. Very comfortable would certainly recommend them to anyone else. However, the only thing I would 2 would be to add one more pocket on the left hand side.
Right where if you're standing up straight and you put your hand down along the same where your Palm ISIS where a phone pocket should be because there are some left-handed folks out there, but most of us are right-handed. And it's Would be verry convenient for Pulling your phone Left hand and using the fingerprint scanner. With your right thumb to open it, and most of the time, the majority of people are holding their phone in their left hand And operating it with the right. This would be a nice addition to these shorts.
And even a phone pocket on either side would be awesome.
Need Khaki color, hurry up summer’s coming
These are perfect for the FL heat. Fit is great,no need for a belt. Will definitely get another pair.
I love the Cipher pants and recently bought a pair of these shorts. Since I love the pants, I love the shorts also. Stretchy, comfortable and the perfect arrangement of pockets. More colors please!

Shorts are great. Light weight and they keep me super cool. Living in Georgia you need cool clothing. Also the extra pockets are good.
