Wrangler Mens Ranger Cargo Short - Durable Work Cargo Shorts

In this review the Wrangler Mens Ranger Cargo Short is evaluated for workers and active users who need durable, comfortable shorts that hold up to daily wear. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of the Room2Move fit and reinforced construction: the gusseted crotch and relaxed seat and thigh provide real mobility while the 10oz ripstop cotton and Cordura lined back pockets stand up to abrasion. For those who value utility storage and long-lasting materials, this short makes practical sense on the job.

Key Features

• Room2Move fit: A gusseted crotch and improved seat and thigh allow greater range of motion for bending and climbing without pulling at the waist.
• Advanced comfort: The relaxed fit keeps the short comfortable on long workdays so movement stays unrestricted and fatigue is reduced.
• Reinforced construction: 10oz ripstop cotton with contrast taping and cordura-lined back pockets increases durability in high-wear areas.
• Utility storage: Multiple pockets including front, back, oversized watch pocket, roomy cargo pockets and a hammer loop keep tools and essentials organized and accessible.
• Durable brand design: Designed to pair with Riggs Workwear pieces, these shorts are built for trade use without looking out of place off the job.

Who It's For

The Wrangler Ranger Cargo Short is best for electricians, carpenters, contractors and hobbyists who spend long hours moving, kneeling and reaching and need pockets for tools. Its reinforced pockets and ripstop fabric suit frequent outdoor or jobsite wear where abrasion and pocket stress are common.

Those who want a trim fashion short or who require precise sizing for a tailored fit should look elsewhere, as some customers have found the sizing runs small and the relaxed work fit is intentionally roomier in the seat and thigh.
