Kadre Duty Short

Outstanding pair of shorts
First out of the gate, I like how Viktos does shorts, pants, and their shoes. The Contractor pants are my go-to. These shorts are super lightweight and super comfortable, but are holding up tough. They have a nice clean look to them that my wife tells me are too nice for the range! A few cool design features and the ONE MAJOR improvement that needs to be made: 1. Cargo pocket recessed zippers - There a little pocket for the zipper to nest into so it's not hangout out doing things zippers should not be doing. I'm not sure why other short companies aren't doing this. it's just clean and cool looking. 2. Pant zipper - it's larger than most and wrapped in a piece of rubbery shrink tape. Makes grabbing it a lot easier. (Grabbing the zipper pull you degenerate!!) 3. The "coin pocket" is not a small useless pocket, but large. I can slide a mag, my passport, or a bag of Skittles in that pocket. It's how a pocket should be. it will hold a small hamburger if you're wondering. THE ONE IMPROVEMENT: Viktos put 2 mag pockets inside the RIGHT cargo pocket. Perfect for 2 PMags, however, whoever designed it must be a leftie. Cool. Now all 12 of the left-handed people who own AR's can use those pockets for a couple spare mags.. Viktos. Please remove your head from the duffle bag and put the mag pockets on the LEFT cargo pocket as well as the right pocket so they are more functional. Other than that flaw, I love these shorts.

Bought two pairs. Was looking for a cross between functional and dress shorts. Fabric is dressy yet durable. Love the stretchy fabric and pockets design. Very comfortable shorts. Best part is my wife gave them a thumbs up for dressy look when going
Just buy them

Kadre Duty Short on Point
If you've ordered Viktos shorts or pants before you already know they are designed for function with plenty of pockets for whatever you need. I ordered the gray, size 32 and they fit true to size, moving is a breeze in them and they'll definitely be worn disc golfing. They look good and work hard for ya, would recommend.
