My son is a member of the North American Explorers Federation Boy Scout movement who wears navy blue shorts as part of their uniform. These shorts wash well (do not pill), wear well (do not rip etc. when camping or playing) and he says they are very comfortable, especially when he is putting things in his pockets. He says he can't feel a knife, compass, or snack in his pocket. Enough space to grow, so replace only once a year despite growth.
