Designed for high school boys?

Excellent craftsmanship, nice fabric but marred by exceptionally small arm holes. You won't be driving a car with this on you. Average sized, grown up arms are constrained. Body fits as expected.

Long shorts aren't everyone's gig but if you like a longer look you should know that these are very well made.

OBSERVATIONS
================
-- They come in a very sturdy fabric with wide belt loops.  The loops not only accommodate wide belts, but they are also wide material-wise, being 3/4-inch wide and about 3 inches long.

-- Our teen boy is a stick so a belt isn't really necessary for him.  For older men it's nice that there 6 belt loops plus an emblem patch loop at the back.  By emblem patch I mean that there is one of those super-wide belt loops -- 2.5 inches-- with the CAT brand symbol on it.  This symbol consists of plastic 'badge' that I'll take a picture of it.

-- Teen boy is a size 32 and 5'10" and these fit like they do on the model. The waist is neither loose nor tight and the length hits just above the knee.

-- The front pockets have binding on the edge which adds some style and should help with wear.  These are full sized pockets.

-- The back pockets are also full sized and they have velcro closures so you won't lose your stuff.  They will fit most cell phones.

-- There is a long 'slide' pocket on the right hand side.  It has no velcro.  On the other leg there are two pockets: a big one with a smaller one sewn onto it.  Both of these have flaps with velcro closures and are made of a different fabric which has a slightly shiny element.  The smaller pocket is about 4.5 inches in depth and about 2.75 inches wide.  It also has a rubberized CAT emblem/badge on it.  The larger pocket is about 7x6.5 inches.

SUMMARY
 These are really well made.  Binding tape is used on the front pockets and the waistband.  All the other seams are zig-zag bound.  Sturdy.  If long shorts with good sized belt loops and some branding are your style you should consider these.

**note:  use one of those 'color catcher' sheets. When I washed these the 'catcher' caught some black dye.

The one-dive fits all is BS. these are made for a very tall teenager, not an adult.

It's probably great, if that's what your looking for.  It's kind of large for my son, who is just turning 12, but he loves it.  It looked too "gangsta" for me.

Most high school boys have an aversion to lunch bags that are cheery, bright, patterned, or large.  As if someone is going to write an article in the school newspaper entitled "What your lunch bags says about you" .  Alas, one day they will get over it.  This bag is
nondescript and it's delivered new, looking like it has already been crinkled up and stuffed in the back pack. Utopia!

Yesss.  My picky teenage son loves these. A little bit of give and "they don't look terrible." High praise indeed.

seems the young boys have a game they play at school and so my grandson perhaps can use this as a means of protection while at school. if he can be convince to wear it by his dad.

I purchased this item at a big box retailer for $15.  This item is way too big for a 6th grader.  We've had this for about 4 months and at first, my child loved it but after awhile it took too long for him to get it out of his bag and unzip it.  The concept is really great and has some good qualities.  There are two pencil pouches and a double ring inside.  If you have items on one side, it will make it difficult to open the other side. The inside is well designed and has a couple pockets on each side and a zipper on the front, which came in handy when looking for important papers.  It could be used an item that get carried around from class to class but at our school the kids have to carry thier to each class (they do not have lockers) and this did not work for us. We are going to save this for high school because I am sure it will come in handy at that point.

Perfect for the high school student in the house.  5 star rating for functionality, quality.  Wish list would include more palatable color options.  All in all, great product that arrived on time & looks/functions as expected.

We purchased this product for our 16 year old.  While tall, he is not heavy, certainly not obese, but the hoodie was way too tight accross his chest, necessitating a return of the product.  Too bad because it is a nice design!

Pros:
-High quality materials
-Well organized pockets and pouches

Cons:
-Shoulder straps are uncomfortable and lazily designed
-The "Green Machine" color is lighter and grayer than it appears on the online pictures
-Not designed for comfort
-Best suited for children or teenagers, not a good idea for adults

Tarzan this is not.  Tarzan spoke multiple languages, and was a very Victorian kind of fellow.  There was never anything improper about his conduct.  This is the world of teenage male fantasy, a world where they have power, and can follow their hormones, you might say.  I read this in high school.  I think a movie was actually made of this.  I did go on to research the history of cultures, to find out what Norman used in his pastiche, and the book is useful for that.  Parents who want to keep their teenaged boys sheltered may not like this book.  I have a cousin who kept his sons sheltered, even home schooled them.  One of them went into the Army last year.  I suspect he is in an unpleasant situation, which his life experience did not prepare him for.  High school is painful for teenaged boys, escapist stuff like this is one way to escape the pain, without using addictive substances.  The Dept of Justice estimates that 80% of American high school students regularly use drugs, alcohol, or both.  My daughter agreed with this, for her high school.  Now that is just not healthy.  If you need addictions, the printed word at least doesn't cause physical damage.  One outgrows this sort of thing, eventually.  One moves to books like&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Art-of-Chi-Kung-Making-the-Most-of-Your-Vital-Energy/dp/0974995851/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Art of Chi Kung: Making the Most of Your Vital Energy</a>;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Way-of-Energy-Mastering-the-Chinese-Art-of-Internal-Strength-with-Chi-Kung-Exercise-A-Gaia-Original/dp/0671736450/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Way of Energy:  Mastering the Chinese Art of Internal Strength with Chi Kung Exercise (A Gaia Original)</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Path-Notes-of-an-American-Ninja-Master/dp/1556431570/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Path Notes of an American Ninja Master</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Journey-to-the-Ancestral-Self-The-Native-Lifeway-Guide-to-Living-in-Harmony-with-the-Earth-Mother-Bk-1/dp/0882681788/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Journey to the Ancestral Self: The Native Lifeway Guide to Living in Harmony with the Earth Mother (Bk. 1)</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Redneck-Shaman/dp/1470103605/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Redneck Shaman</a>,<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Tracker/dp/0425101339/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Tracker</a>, and&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Ultimate-Guide-to-Wilderness-Living-Surviving-with-Nothing-But-Your-Bare-Hands-and-What-You-Find-in-the-Woods/dp/1569756503/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living: Surviving with Nothing But Your Bare Hands and What You Find in the Woods</a>.  Still, books like this made high school bearable.  The basic story is our hero goes to a counter-earth, which has a culture any high school male would enjoy.  It is swords, action, women, rather better than the Forgotten Worlds series my nephew enjoys, to my mind.

I purchased these for my 15 year old son. He was originally going to use them during cross country practice but he liked the look so much, he decided to wear them to school instead. He says they are comfortable.

This was for my grandson next year at school. It is what the school required and the design he wanted. Thanks!

Bought for a high school graduate but seemed more fitting for a younger child.

Boys need to do boy-like things. Mostly they need to develop physical skills, and know how to get things made, fixed, or done. This book is a step along that path.

It's not really all that Dangerous, (no directions on how to make TATP, or ANFO or TANNERITE). That's on another shelf in the library.

Think high school home ec meets tactical glove wanna be. These things are cheesy. The palm side is all one piece of synthetic leather stuff and when you flex you hand or fingers it poofs out...as in balloon. Can speak to how they wear because the he fit like a hand diaper with shiny plastic bling over the knuckles. If that's your thing then buy em. I also bought some tirain gloves and they are SO MUCH better.
