Attribute deep dive

We break down what drove each score so you can weigh trade-offs.

Quality Analysis 90/100

These cargo shorts are crafted from hardwearing denim, a robust fabric choice, and feature silver-tone grommets, which are typically more durable than plastic alternatives. The mid-weight denim, a blend of cotton, polyester, and rubber fibers, suggests a good balance of strength and comfort.

Comfort Assessment 80/100

These cargo shorts, made from mid-weight, non-stretchy denim, offer a relaxed feel with their wide-leg and low-crotch design, complemented by an elasticated waist for an accommodating fit.

Sustainability Impact Not Available

We have insufficient evidence to grade sustainability based solely on the provided text, which offers no sustainability clues beyond material composition. A default score has been assigned.
