The Tactical Pants Review: I’m a big fan of cargo shorts. They’re the official shorts of fatherhood, with plenty of room for cameras, juice cups, toys and whatever random cool rocks your kid hands you. But I’m beginning to realize that shorts aren’t necessarily becoming of a grown man in certain instances. Florida, sure, and even the Jersey beach, but elsewhere it seems a little less than adult. I might invest in a pair of lightweight tactical pants for those non-dressy occasions when shorts make you look like a slob. A dork, maybe. But not a slob. Perhaps.
