I really like the metal snap button on the shorts. The metal snap is much stronger than a button, easier to use and longer lasting.Love the larger 1 1/2 inch loops, allows me to wear a more substantial belt for concealed carry.The shorts are light weight, but feel like they have substantial durability.Very similar to the high quality Orvis shorts I like to buy.Only complaint is that I wear a size 38. When those arrived I had to return them as they were closer to a size 40.Then re-ordered a size 36 and they fit.
