Alright time to downgrade my current #1s and get a new pair, pretty happy with Swazi Poley shorts but is there anything else thats decent out there? Must have pockets and ball room. The last CCC pair I had lasted 2 months before keys punched through pockets and I snapped the drawstring.

Have had a pair of stoney creek ones I have had a good run out of, I always seem to rip the crotch out of ccc ones getting on and off farmbikes etc
Are they the microtough ones mate?Quote:

Work issue Hard Yakka. I live in them all season,pretty much 10months. The only time they've failed is when something gets caught on pocket or up the leg. 2 minutes with the bag sewer and they're good to go again. Haven't managed to wear a pair out yet. I've got 4 pair and they've totalled 9 1/2 seasons so far
I have had a couple of pairs for years. Highly recommended.Quote:

i cant wear shorts, it looks like a baby's arm hanging out of a pram
Can't wear them often either, not at work and when I do wear shorts the white legs scare off any deer withen milesQuote:

Can't beat the $12 Warehouse rugger shorts, mine have outlasted countless CCC's and swandri and fit much better
Got a pair of the stoney creek shorts on clearance at Hunting and Fishing for $30 and theyre pretty bloody good. Might replace the drawstring but cant fault them otherwise.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who got to the point of giving up on CCC stubbies. Got sick of the bloody crotch ripping and every year I speak to the people in the shop they've 'never heard of that problem before'. Just got a couple pairs of Swazi ones, not cheap but so far so good!
The Swazi ones are my favourite style/cut but since they went from cotton to a man made material I can't wear them as they disintegrate under a shower of grinder sparks
Swazi looks like they have a good pair, pretty pricey though.
Running the huntech ones, seem ok to me, comfy enough and cheap at 35 skcub
I get thos stubbing from Postie Plus, same cut as the CCC but last longer and have pockets, cheaper 2.
I liked the look of the elastic crotch.Quote:

Running the Huntech. ......keeps my 'button mushroom' in check. .......eh, I only hunt in winter :wtfsmilie:
Got some of their dry bum ones - too warm for summer (sweaty sack and crack warning), tad tight in the leg for me and the waterproof panel in the bum makes a bit of a rustly sound when I walk. So not great really, but might be ok in winter. Mostly I wear Macpac 'rockover' shorts - light, comfy, bit of stretch to them, quick drying, good enough pockets.Quote:

I have a pair and are happy with them.Quote:
