Stitching that wears out makes the pockets useless

I got these shorts a year ago, but this issue started within a few months. the elastic stitching that holds the pockets on will rip. With most casual wear this wouldn't be an issue, but in order to make these light weight and quick drying they only have one layer of fabric stitched to the outside. When the eleatic thread breaks the pocket just gets a big hole in it. The second zipper waist pocket is the only place this hasn't happened, as it's the only one constructed differently. Everything else on here is fantastic, but I need working pockets.

Guide shorts aren’t just for the weather. These are my new fave go to comfy shorts. They’re as great just lounging around as they are in my SUP. I’d prob be fine one size down

Good but not perfect

Good Quality, and very comfortable. Negatives for me are that the legs are a bit baggy, also the belt is tough to slide through the long loop channels.

Comfortable but not worth the price.

Shorts are comfortable but the belt is poorly made and doesn’t hold the pants in place.
