I have this exact pair of 3/4 shorts, in black. After removing the kinda cheap feeling belt, I wear them pretty frequently. It doesnt get super cold where I live, but those shorts and a long sleeve top of some sort works pretty well for me. I have had them about a month now with no issues. They handle the washing machine just fine, feel good, and in my humble opinion look pretty decent.

The biggest concern I had was the zippers, but they seem to be pretty sturdy, and the pockets dont seem to agitate me on my admittedly short 3 mile commute.

I would definitely recommend them though, I am about to put in an order for another set.
