I like cargo's because they are functional. I have indeed actually ran out of pocket space on non-cargo pants.
As for cargo "jeans" in particular I don't really care... Don't dislike them, but I don't love them. They are just jeans... I have always just thought of jeans/denim as pretty standard/basic.
I used to have really nice dark green denim cargos... but they got torn up so I had to throw them away.

Admittedly I not would be wearing them now anyway since I live in AZ and its fucking hot here and the pants were ridiculously thick/heavy.
This topic is now about pants.
