On the stretchy material and no silly pockets piece.... if you are worried about this, why aren't you just wearing yoga pants?
I think you're misunderstanding "no silly pockets" as "no pockets". Why the hell would I want unattractive pockets on the sides of my knees? What am I going to put in those pockets, and how badly will it bruise the sides of my knees?
I wore cargo shorts in the mid-2000s, when they were in style, but the "functional" argument is bunk, in my mind.
So far, I’ve compared you to Hitler, called you a eunich, told you to live in a gulag and questioned whether you went to ISU. I’d be most offended by yhe ISU thing and I sincerely apologize for that.
Of course they don’t make yoga shorts. This isn’t heaven.
I think it's situational. Like I said, I prefer wearing them for golf because of the extra pocket space. And sometimes I'll wear them if I'm running errands with the family. My wife talks all kinds of **** about cargo shorts but she never has any hesitation about handing me her phone, keys, and whatever to store in them.
Volleyball shorts in public! What a world that could be
Your mind is very small. Right now I have: 'normal' right front - wallet, 'normal' left front: car fob, cargo right front: gum, cargo left front: phone. I hate having anything in back pockets and nothing jingles together. perfect utilization.
Exactly. When we get to go to ISU games, I basically carry everything. Phones, water bottle, tickets, stuff for the kids...
I guess I'll just be uncool and drive my minivan while wearing my cargo shorts. I can fit more kids and stuff in my vehicle and more crap in my pockets too!
Yeah, went out to dinner with golf shorts son and he put his wallet and keys in his girlfriend’s purse.

He's a smart boy.
The sides of your knees? Cargo shorts don't have to be cotton, have a 20" inseam, and have paramedic pockets either. I golf in stretchy cargo shorts that are above my knee. They do make such a thing.
Once you have kids you can just check your dignity at the door. You can have it back when they all move out. In the meantime, embrace the minivan driving, cargo short wearing, overstuffed backpack/diaper bag hauling lifestyle.
I've never seen what you're describing, but the description that's been used throughout this thread has been exactly what you mentioned they don't have to be.
F*$@ fashion. Cargo shorts are more practical.
Trends just exist to get you to buy new products.
Cargo shorts with a fanny pack, a backpack and a murse. That's the way to live.

You're clinging on to cargo shorts for dear life, but my mind is very small? My bad. I didn't realize everyone was needing to tote around 8 pounds of gum at all times.
That's one way to go or you could wear golf cargo shorts and piss off everyone!
