They're rather useless without the gussetted crotch. Otherwise, yeah, just manpris. So if a girl wears manpris, do they go back to being capris, or just highwaters?

I have 3 pairs of these shorts (khaki, camo, blue - what... I like variety), available at target for $20. Roomy, comfortable, lots of pockets to put stuff (ulock, wallet, phone, cookies, whatever). On me they come down to just past my knee, which I think is nice. Have had 2 pairs for a year now and love em. Just got another since they were on sale here for $16.99

how far can the shants go below the knee before treading on dangerous water?

They also go just below the knee, cost a couple bucks less, and come in more colors (including black and navy).

They aren;t very baggy IMHO. I would recommend trying them on before buying, as they ran a little tight in the waist.

Neither are BDUs.
