I've looked a pair of shorts marketed by Woolrich, that seem to be intended for police or military use, which they're marketing as the "Elite Series Tactical" line. Here's a link to the manufacturer's website showing this product: http://www.woolricheliteseriestactical.com/products/elitelightweightshort.htm They look quite nicely made, with loads of pockets, and come in a variety of colors. Unfortunately, the only retailer in Tucson never seems to have much variety in sizes and I've never found a pair in my size. I did try on a pair that was larger than what I would wear and they certainly felt comfortable.
>From what I've seen, the local Tucson bicycle police are wearing a similar type of short, often with a pair of Pearl Izumi bicycling shorts worn underneath their pocketed shorts. The prices of the Woolrich line doesn't look too bad either.
