    I used to wear shorts a lot, but I didn't like being a walking buffet for the black gnats and mozzies, so I wear shorts only for cycling. I used to wear khaki shorts with loads of deep pockets, and I liked them a little too much by stuffing my pockets with stones, birch bark, tinders, and other goodies.

    I believe 5.11 sells taclite shorts. If those are a bit too long, there are always these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-GENUIN...item2ecf08ad78 and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-RA...item1c4fe00bfe
