Cargo pants are military-inspired trousers that are both practical and versatile. With plenty of large pockets and made from heavy-duty material, they’re durable enough to last for years to come.
The military inspiration isn't just stylistic - the pants actually came from original soldiers' uniforms. That's why they're sometimes called combat trousers.
The military background also explains all those large pockets - to fit all the gear that a soldier might need on hand at a moment's notice.
Today, men's cargo pants in Australia no longer juggle bandages and maps. Instead, they're easy day-to-day wear that can fit all of your wallet, keys and smartphone, no matter the size of the screen.
