Just a heads up, it seems they changed the fit of these. I bought 2 pair last year, khaki and charcoal, and they both fit a little snug, like stretchy skinny jeans. Bought a new pair the other day (the dark OD green) and they are a little more baggy/roomy now. My old ones had the elastic in the waist too, as do these. They seem to feel alot more comfy now, at least to me.
My Costco has a shorts version of these (maybe they are on the website?) For $15. And I bought 3 pairs and they are awesome. I know it's not shorts weather for most of you anymore but they'd be a nice cheap pickup for next summer if u needed some new shorts. I just lost a bunch of weight so it's perfect timing
