I treat my cargo shorts like a purse.
Phone in one pocket
Wallet in a side pocket. Started doing this on a vacation in a foreign city to be less pick-pocketable, and turns out I love it.
Another pocket contains a fuckload of little stuff. Earbuds, lip balm, contact solution eyedrops, weed pen, breath spray, car key, set of house keys and some others in a folding keyring to which I have also attached my eBike battery key and eBike lock key.
Oil-absorbing paper in another pocket, great for keeping the adult acne at bay.
Cargo shorts make me a card-carrying member of the Dork Squad, but damn do I love them. I can even fit my Switch in there if I want to.
These are what I use.
I can’t compare or contrast because they’re the only kind I’ve used. My wife introduced them to me. But I really like them!
