Where to find hiking shorts that last more than a few months?
I'm one of these crazy people that tend to wear cargo shorts all year round, and do a lot of hiking and general outdoor activities in them. However, because of this they tend to wear out relatively quickly, and I haven't yet found some that last beyond a few months.
Has anyone any recommendations? I'm quite big (40" waist) which doesn't help! I'd also like ones with lots of pockets which narrows it down further.

I've been using the same two pair of swimshorts for years now. They dry quick, they're lightweight, they're cheap. Mine are similar to these (with pockets, but not lots), but I got mine at Target.
The only downside is that sometimes the cheap thin string tie bites into my waist on really long summer hikes.

When I hiked the PCT, I wore NosiLife Cargo Shorts, from Craghopper.
I wore them continuously for 4 months before I began to wear them out. They would have lasted longer, but I lost so much weight they would no longer stay up.
They did get a bit thin in the bum, but that was due to me glissading and falling on my arse a lot.
