12 Best Cargo Shorts For Men

I

f you’ve been keeping up with leg day at the gym, you’ll be more than happy to grab your shorts for an upcoming hike or summer vacation. You’ll be able to show off those rock-hard calves as you surge up the mountain or as you take a stroll on your city break. However, if you’re hiding some pale pins under those skinny jeans of yours, you’ll have to compensate with some top-notch cargo shorts for men.

Cargo shorts become popular with several men because of their multifunctionality. Originally a descendant of the combat pants sported by British and American soldiers during World War II, they’re designed to be tough and durable.

The best manufacturers maintained these standards, which makes them perfect for laboring, hikes, and other outdoor pursuits with your male gang.

Many have conveniently sized pockets that make carrying your everyday items easy. This is why you see them on every street corner, park bench, and a subway stop in the city from California to New York during the summer and spring months.

The right styles can pass the approval of the sternest golf club rules, making them useful in a sporting environment. You’ll also see them being sported from tee boxes, fairways, and greens all over the world. The pockets are handy for keeping your tees, ball, pencil, scorecard, glove, and marker all together throughout your round.

The problem with cargo shorts for men is that finding the best can end up taking far too much time than you have. To help, we’ve taken the legwork away and sourced the best for you.

Our search was narrowed down to 12 exceptional options that offer something for every guy. We feel you’ll find one that fits you perfectly.

What can I wear with cargo shorts?

Cargo shorts for men have, of course, had their critics. However, if you take a quick online search for these Hitler-defeating items you’ll see that many style gurus and male fashion advisors are advocating the cargo short look.

The question is, what are they pairing them with? Many of them recommend matching your cargo shorts for men with monotone colors. They are really favoring the plain white tee and cargo short combo. Did you know research has found that a plain white tee can make you more attractive to women?

You do now. Before you go out and buy seven plain white tees, there are other great combinations to consider. Other options to pair your cargo shorts with are things like sweaters and hoodies. You can top off your look with a pair of Vans or a nice-looking backpack like the ones made by Herschel.

Giving blanket advice is tricky because the combinations you go for in terms of color and prints will depend on the shorts themselves. You don’t want to match busy colors with other busy colors, but you also don’t want to put too much of one singular color together.

Some simple rules to live by are don’t go above three colors and no more than one pattern per a whole outfit. Follow these rules gents and you’ll have to allocate some free time for some Saturday dates – plain white tee or no plain white tee.

Are Cargo Shorts Comfortable?

Cargo shorts for men are extremely comfortable. With clothing, we usually have to decide between being fashionable or being comfortable. Just look at the bunions on some women’s feet if you don’t believe us. It was the cargo shorts’ overly comfortable aspect that gathered haters saying they weren’t fashionable in the first place.

Cargo shorts may be starting to change opinions at the top table in fashion and design circles for their style. However, nobody has ever questioned the comfort that cargo pants afford.

The new designs and combinations of cargo shorts for men are now destroying the idea that you have to pick between style and comfort.

If you’re solely looking for comfort, the cargo short’s latest appearance on the catwalk won’t leave you disappointed. In fact, they still remain exceptionally comfortable. Many of their designs – but not all – are with a relaxed or loose fitting.

They give you a great range of movement or free feeling when jogging to catch the train or when finishing a bit of home DIY.

Are Cargo Shorts For Men in Style?

Some questions are difficult to answer. While we’re good here at Men’s Gear, we can’t see into the future just yet. Our site owner is meeting with a Genie next week to see about wishing for it though. You’ll know when we can because we’ll start reviewing the top 10 crystal balls and time machines of 2030.

Until then, we’ll use logic – and right now they’re in.

Like many clothing items and fashion accessories that disappear and rally again, we suspect that cargo shorts will go through the motions too. The good news is that right now cargo shorts are in and they’re likely to stay that way for a good while. Heck, they did disappear for a while, so we don’t expect it’s just going to be a show-your-face type of appearance.

For guys who like to invest in long-term clothing, this is good news. However, if you’re a man who likes to refresh your closet each season or more frequently, you could have been browsing our list already. If you’re a normal guy like us, we think you’ll enjoy our list of the best cargo shorts for men.

Take a look below, as we’re sure you’ll find something you’ll be interested in.

1) UNIONBAY Men’s Survivor Belted Cargo Shorts

UNIONBAY have been supplying quality clothing items to sporty men in America for the past 30 years. These 100% cotton and relaxed-fitting Survivor Belted Cargo Shorts are a quality addition to their range. They come available in an impressive 15 different colors, so there’s got to be one color you’ll like.

Even one for every day over the next 2 weeks. No matter which color you choose, you’ll get that vintage look that’s very much in these days. They’re also available in bigger and taller sizes so no man-mountain is left out.

The pockets on these cargo shorts for men are oversized to help keep more of your possessions at easy reach at all times. The shorts will also sit just above or at the knee. This will quieten some critics of the cargo short who show distaste to shorts that go past the knee.

One last feature worth mentioning is that the shorts come with a D-ring belt. We suspect the oversized pockets will make these great cargo shorts for outdoor adventures including fishing. Some of the neutral colors will even help them pass golf course committee inspections.

2) LEE Men’s Belted Wyoming Cargo Shorts

Also available in a wide range of color and style options are these cargo shorts from Lee. When you buy from a recognized brand such as Lee, you know you’re going to get quality and durable materials. They come in a relaxed-fitting like the ones above and are also made from 100% cotton.

They do differ in terms of inseam length as they have an extra 0.5 inches which may allow the hem to venture past your knee.

One of the best features of these cargo shorts for men is that they have a lot of pockets. First off, the side pockets are deep and slanted and have a back pocket with button fastening. These are complemented by a cargo-style pocket on the leg, again with a flap and a button to keep your valuables secure.

They make for another great option for outdoor use on hikes. However, they may also be a solid choice for tourists as there is plenty of room for your wallet, phone, hotel key card, city map, and all those excursion leaflets you get handed.

3) Wrangler Classic Relaxed Fit Cargo Shorts

Another recognized brand is Wrangler and it won’t be the last time you see a pair of their awesome cargo shorts on our list of the best cargo shorts for men. They don’t come available in as many colors as the previous ones have offered, but all their colors remain monotone and classy.

They’re supplied with a relaxed fitting and a 10-inch seam that boasts comfort in any outdoor or manual task the day leaves in your path.

Their sleek appearance combined with a relaxed fitting and six pockets makes them one of the most versatile cargo shorts heading down the Men’s Gear catwalk. Whether you’re strolling downtown, climbing Mount Fuji, or appreciating some well-cooked meat and veg as you dine alfresco on a summer’s eve, these shorts won’t look out of place.

4) UNIONBAY Cordova Messenger Cargo Shorts

Another UNIONBAY pair of cargo shorts you should know about are these Cordova ones. They supply these in a pleasing number of color options and are available in sizes for taller or bigger men. They do have one striking difference, however. Whereas the Survivor model was cut above the knee, these hang below the knee.

They also have adjustable tabs at the cuffs so you can somewhat taper them in.

We feel these cargo shorts for men would be great for hiking and especially camping. Being able to tie up your shorts at the hem may help keep the mosquito bites away while you’re sipping a few cold ones around the campfire with your wolfpack.

5) Columbia Silver Ridge Cargo Shorts

It’s not the first time we’ve featured some of Columbia’s garments on Men’s Gear. That is a testament to their proven quality. Our panel isn’t so easy to impress. These classic-fitting New Silver Ridge Cargo Shorts certainly did impress us, and we feel they’ll get a few of you checking them out further too.

They have plenty of pockets typical of cargo shorts but they change the game at your waistline. As well as belt loops, these shorts have a partial elastic waist that can be adjusted.

They’re rather innovative as their manufacturing includes fabric with an Omni-shade rating of UPF 50 so your clothes don’t get damaged by the sun’s rays.

This is as well as Omni-wick technology will repel moisture to keep you dry and cool. These cargo shorts for men would be perfect for guys who live in hotter climates or are planning a summer city break in the near future.

6) Wrangler Classic Relaxed Fit Carpenter Shorts

Wrangler has joined us again to show off these impressive Carpenter Shorts. Some of you may argue that these aren’t the typical cargo shorts you’ve been reminiscing about. Rather, their appearance and features are somewhat similar.

They’re called carpenter shorts for a reason. They’re perfect for men completing some manual handyman-type work. Whether you’re a professional or enjoying some DIYing, you’ll be pleased to know that these shorts have a hammer loop and two pockets on the opposite side.

That includes one utility pocket for your knife and one for your smartphone and two back pockets. Pocket overload!

Wrangler hasn’t simply stated that these would be great for craftsmen and woodworkers without careful consideration. You can tell they’ve really put some thought in and consulted some carpenters to create these cargo-type shorts. They’ll always be functional and have a relaxed fitting to get them through the working day comfortably.

7) Levi’s Snap Cargo Shorts

Probably the most famous of brands to pass the Men’s Gear red tape today is Levi’s. These guys have been stitching up garments and jeans of outstanding quality for as long as we can remember. It turns out their cargo shorts are not bad either.

Their Snap Cargo Shorts are mostly made of cotton and feature a button closure and relaxed fitting. They’re the stereotypical shape and nostalgic appearance of the cargo short of years gone by. They come available in four different solid colors which maintain their Levi’s class and avoid the novelty prints and designs.

To describe them perfectly, just think of that one buddy who’s good at football, quiz night, pool, and talking to the ladies. They’re an all-rounder and are perfect for use on a remote trip, a vacation, city visit, or for a summer barbeque with friends and family. Which color will you get?

8) Tru-Spec Men’s 24-7 Shorts

A lot of the cargo shorts we’ve shown you so far have been completely or predominantly made from cotton. However, these are a little different and are manufactured with 65% polyester. They may also be the most fashionable on our cargo shorts rundown as well.

They don’t look as bulky as the traditional cargo short usually does due to a comfort slider waistband. This waistband reduces the build-up of elastic in certain areas and eliminates the need for adjustable tabs. When it comes to pockets, it sticks with tradition in a sleek way.

Two cargo pockets have a hook and loop closure and an expandable rear pocket with the identical fastening method. You can pick these up in six different block colors and each one wouldn’t look out of place at the bar, a festival, in the workshop, or on a stylish hiker down a mountain trail.

9) CQR Urban Tactical Cargo Shorts

Another contender for the most stylish award is these Urban Tactical Cargo Shorts by CQR. They come available in a great selection of attractive colors. Not only are they stylish, but they’ve also got some ruggedness within their design. If you see touches of the military in them, you wouldn’t be wrong.

When wearing these shorts, you’ll have six pockets of various sizes and depths to store your everyday items or even tools. The fastening of the pockets changes between zips, Velcro, and buttons. One of these pockets is slightly hidden to add to their military feel.

All this is on top of features such as a fitted waistband, and an overall design to maximize movement.

Being modeled on military aesthetics makes these cargo shorts for men best for active outdoor use. However, if we saw you wearing them down the bar we wouldn’t make fun of you.

10) Coleman Hiking Cargo Shorts 

We love it when the title of the product tells you their target audience. These Coleman’s Hiking Cargo Shorts do just that. If you’re a hiker and haven’t been sold on anything we’ve shown you so far, maybe your time has come.

Everything about these shorts screams ‘take me outside!’ They’ll almost be joining your dog wagging his tail at the front door ready for a walk. First of all, they’re made with 100% nylon which is fast drying so even the wetter hikes and adventures will be no match for these shorts.

For the warmer expeditions, the material will not falter under sun exposure as UV-A and UV-B rays are resisted thanks to the UPF 50+ weaving.

The material is also very durable and will not tear easily. If you do decide to go off trail, at least your shorts will come back in one piece.

As for these cargo shorts’ other perks, they come with a removable belt that has a quick release button. They also have a good selection of zippered, Velcro, hidden, and expandable cargo pockets to choose from. You’ll be able to keep more important hiking gear such as knives, compasses, or maps closer with these shorts.

11) WULFUL Cotton Casual Cargo Shorts

We had to get to them eventually. A lot of our picks steered away from the novelty army-like designs that are quite distinctive with cargo shorts for men. We did this to appeal to the sleeker and more modern looks. However, some guys within the Men’s Gear club like the camouflage designs.

We think these ones are a fantastic choice for those guys.

These casual cargo shorts for men come in seven different but all equally quirky colored camouflages. They’re so colorful, we don’t think they could be classed as camouflage anymore.

We’re really impressed with their lightweight, breathable, and loose-fitting aspects. All of which will make daily activities and more strenuous tasks easier.

The old faithful won’t just be happy with the camouflage print but the short’s layout and pockets as well. They include typical cargo pockets with buttons, plus hand and back pockets too. There’s lots of storage space here. They even have snaps too!

12) Dockers Classic Fit Shorts

Last but by no means least are these Classic Fit Shorts straight from the design room at Dockers. We included them because they offer the same convenience and performance of the previous offering. However, they have a brighter palette than some of the other ones we’ve shown.

If you were disappointed by the darker colors on display so far, we hope these have brightened your read.

The classic fit allows you to still have enough room for active tasks. These cargo shorts for men come with side pockets and a back pocket, all of which are large enough to fit your smartphone easily. They don’t have the traditional leg pocket we’re used to seeing on cargo shorts for men.

Interestingly, they also have a shorter inseam of 9.5 inches, which make them appear more modern. For this reason, we suggest these be your vacation shorts to be worn as you hunt down the best bistros in the city or to fine dine in on an evening.

Top 10 Gym Shorts for Men

W

e know what you’re thinking, you have gym shorts already. Come on dude, are you really going to stand by those shorts you’ve been using for three years now? The ones that are all ratty, don’t provide any movement, and are faded? You can do better than that and you know it, that’s why you’re here. Congratulations and well done on your decision to switch up your gym shorts for men. Give those old ones to the dog.

Whether you’re a track and field amateur star, a tennis enthusiast, or prefer to go for the home runs, it doesn’t matter. You may even just be looking for a reliable pair of gym shorts to use at the gym. Regardless, we’re here to help you.

Gym shorts are a funny thing. People in the know realize their importance rivals that of the right sneakers. Clearly, you need a good pair. Various brands just put the tag “gym” as part of their shorts to increase profits, but the product isn’t made for such.

This makes navigating to find the be shorts can be harder than many like to admit.

If you’re expecting a wide array of options, then think again. We’re not going to sit here and rattle through 25 different pairs of gym shorts for men that essentially do the same thing. Instead. we picked pairs that we feel should be highlighted.

Before we get down to it, we need to look at some FAQs. By answering these, we’ll also be helping you take one step closer to getting the right gym shorts. That way, when things get physical, you’ll be ready. We’re talking sports dude, come on, men are writing this ya know! Although Carl in accounting said he wouldn’t mind helping you…

What Are the Main Benefits of Wearing Gym Shorts For Men?

There’s a lot of skepticism when it comes to clothing that’s marketed as having a particular purpose like sunglasses for rock climbers, or swimmer’s ear muffs. However, is it true for gym shorts? Does it actually make a difference if you wear gym shorts or regular, normal shorts when working out or participating in sports? What are the main benefits of wearing these kinds of clothes?

Well, if you’re serious about working out or performing on the pitch, track, field, or court then wearing the right clothing can be paramount. There are some distinct benefits to wearing gym shorts, including:

Better Movement & Greater Comfort:

Gym shorts are designed to ensure that you don’t feel restricted and give you better movement. This will then ensure you have the necessary comfort to concentrate on your workout, backhand, pace, or whatever discipline you’re involved in.

Makes Your Performance Better:

As noted earlier, the above benefit follows through nicely to this. When you’re more comfortable you’re able to concentrate more which ca, in turn,n improve your performance.

Prevent Injury & Gives You Added Protection:

When you opt for a pair of proper gym shorts that are suitable for certain activities, you’re ensuring you’re protected and safe. If you wear clothing that is too restrictive or ill-fitting, for instance, you could injure yourself by slipping up or worse.

Are Gym Shorts Comfortable?

Again, it all depends. Take a look at just how many shorts are out there. We’ve only highlighted 10. There are lots of different styles of shorts out there. If you choose the wrong type for the wrong activities, they won’t be very comfortable.

However, you could make sensible decisions by purchasing unrestrictive pairs that are designed for the gym and sports-based activities. Many of those are mentioned in our list, in fact. You’ll likely find that they are incredibly well designed with comfort and practicality both in mind.

What Materials Are Gym Shorts Usually Made of?

Although no two pairs of gym shorts for men by different brands or even the same brand are the same, there’s a lot of crossover between them. The fabric is used more commonly than others. Most commonly you can expect natural fabrics such as cotton or bamboo to be used in various ways.

Often high-quality shorts will be made completely from cotton, whereas bamboo is generally used in the lining as it has antibacterial and moisture-wicking properties.

Other, synthetic fabrics are used even more commonly. Spandex and polyester are the favored materials by many of the biggest and best sports apparel brands. They are used extensively in gym shorts, like the ones listed below.

In addition to the main paneling and construction of the shorts, there is always some form of elastane used. Although, this element is usually only used in the waistband to provide the fit you’re looking for. If you’re not prone to suffering from allergic reactions very often, the fabric may not concern you much.

However, if you have a known allergy to materials such as polyester, spandex, or even cotton, you’ll want to avoid shorts with those materials in them and opt for alternatives. We’ve included a wide selection of shorts made from various fabrics for that very reason. Let’s take a look at the top gym shorts for men.

1) Under Armor Mirage 8″ Men’s Shorts

First up are these great Under Armor Mirage 8″ gym shorts for men. Since 1996, Under Armor has been in the business of designing and manufacturing performance gear for all kinds of sportsmen and athletes. We’re sure you’ll agree that they’re a good place to start on your hunt for the best gym shorts for men. This brand is very popular and a lot of people respect them.

What do the Mirage have to offer? Well, they’ve been devised with comfort and freedom in mind. They have a fuller cut and are loose enough that you don’t feel restriction around your legs. Thanks to their 100% woven polyester construction, they have 4-way stretch which increases your level of movement. All while ensuring they keep their shape.

A number of excellent standards from UA are featured in these shorts too. The Moisture Transport System, for example, is notable because it helps to wick sweat. It’s also useful in eliminating unwanted liquid away from your body. The UA half-back elasticated waistband that features an internal drawcord keeps those shorts where they should be.

After all, the last thing anyone wants is a short-based catastrophe. Embarrassment or serious injury, neither sounds particularly thrilling.

2) TCA Men’s Elite Gym Training Shorts

The highly affordable gym shorts for men from TCA are a triumph. Although TCA may not be a name you’re overly familiar with, they’ve been in business since 2010 and been producing high-quality sportswear ever since.

These TCA Men’s Elite Tech shorts are marketed as being suitable for either gym training or lightweight running. If you’re into those sorts of activities or similar, these are ideal. TCA designs them using a strong and light stretchy-fabric that has been woven to allow an excellent amount of movement and durability.

The pockets with fusion-welded zippers allow you to store anything valuable you don’t want to leave elsewhere. This means you can keep your music player of choice or smartphone nearby.

TCA has ensured that even the waistband will do its job without getting in your way while you train. The back elastic enables you to tighten it, so they’re snug around your body. One of the biggest draws we have to admit about these shorts is the no-quibble 360-day return policy the company offer.

Although, it’s unlikely you’ll have to use it, it’s nice knowing the company is willing to put its money where its mouth is. Gives you more confidence about how good these shorts might be.

TCA products are tremendous, so it’s not shocking yet another pair of their gym shorts for men made our list. This time it’s the TCA Men’s Natural Performance Bamboo Gym & Running Shorts. Slightly cheaper than the previous TCA pair, these also benefit from having a great percentage of natural materials. Namely, they hype the 15% bamboo in the lining.

Though odd-sounding, bamboo is ideal for use in sportswear because it has natural moisture-removing and antibacterial properties. Those are the words you want to hear before you slide on a pair of shorts to go on that 10-mile run in the 30 degrees heat.

Similarly to the above pair, TCA makes them with running and gym activity in mind, so are very versatile.  This makes them ideal if you’re not stuck doing one discipline of sport each time you’re getting active. Much like anything else from TCA, they come with the full 360-day return guarantee.

If you’re not satisfied with them in any way, the company promise to honor their agreement to offer a full refund. That sounds honorable to us!

Zenwow, much like TCA, may not be a name that you’re particularly familiar with. However, at the price these shorts are available for, can you really turn your nose up at them without giving them a chance? Hear us out, when have we ever led you astray?

These Zenwow Backloop gym shorts for men certainly look the part, don’t they? How are they beyond looks? They feature breathable meshing in the hips and sides that ensures your body never feels too sweaty. The adjustable waistband, although standard, is a welcomed addition.

As you’d expect, there are some pockets to stash your gear in. They’re all fairly deep. This is perfect for storing those belongings you don’t want or left lying around. Of course, it’s also ideal for bringing your smartphone to the gym to chart your progress.

Perhaps, you wish to provide the Journey, Survivor, Toto, or Coldplay track that pushes you to make those last few reps possible.

The great thing is that these are very versatile so whether that pushing is on the basketball or tennis court, cycling, hiking, jogging, or beach sports. Heck, they’ll of course work for you’re working out at your local gym. It’s unlikely they’ll ever let you down.

Whether you’re jogging around the block before heading to the office, intending on taking part in the next big Marathon or are just attending those trendy cross-fit classes, these are the perfect companion.

7) Under Armor Tech Mesh Men’s Shorts

Under Armor gym shorts for men are always terrific, so why not add another to our list? That’s exactly what the Under Armor Tech Mesh Men’s shorts are. They do have the trendy ‘tech’ word in their name, but they’re more than just a pair of shorts with a fancy name.

These differ somewhat from other UA shorts on this list because they utilize mesh fabric. The pinhole meshing provides a greater amount of ventilation not present in others. It also makes them incredibly soft against your skin. This ensures your comfort from the moment you slip them on to that moment you try to take them off after you nearly murder yourself at the gym.

Another big bonus with this pair of shorts is that the UA designs the polyester in the shorts to remove the sweat away from your body and dry super-fast. This means you can train for longer and don’t have to worry much about all that liquid you produce.

In older pairs of shorts had the drawstring on the outside, but not Under Armor. UA appreciate everyone’s annoyance, which is why they include a fully-encased elasticated waistband that has a hidden drawstring on the inside.

This pair of gym shorts for men are definitely one of our favorites so far.
