Law enforcement, military and fire professionals worldwide consistently choose the 5.11 Tactical® Shorts for both on and off-duty warm weather wear. The 5.11 Tactical® Shorts come in 6 colors, with size ranges to fit virtually everyone. Known for its signature rear slash pockets and strap, the sturdy, seven-pocket 5.11 Tactical® Shorts are so comfortable and functional, they have become an industry standard. Made of tough, 8.5-oz. 100% cotton canvas that becomes increasingly more comfortable over time, these shorts stand up to the rigors of daily work, play and travel. Known for superior comfort, functionality and fit, the shorts feature a self-adjusting comfort waistband that helps you bend and stretch with ease. Double and triple-needle construction is utilized throughout, plus 48 bartacks in high-stress areas. For added durability we use a proprietary weave that binds in on itself to prevent raveling. We use only genuine, locking-flange YKK® zippers and quality Prym® snaps, both of which are top-of-the-line in the industry. Additional quality hardware is found in the front, where a convenient D-ring holds your keys, or ID. For best results, pair the 5.11 Tactical® Shorts with the 5.11 Tactical® Shirt or 5.11 Tactical® Polo.

Functionality
The front pockets are strong and roomy and the inverted pleats on the cargo pockets remain flat until needed for a neat, professional appearance. A narrow thigh pocket accommodates a magazine, cell phone or utility knife. The extra deep rear pockets can hold extended mags, a baton or a 15” flashlight.

Fit
The legendary fit of the 5.11 Tactical® Shorts is a closely guarded secret based on a tried-and-true formula created 30 years ago from its mountaineering roots. The 5.11 Tactical® Shorts are designed for active movement in changing conditions, the shorts perform and look great on individuals of all shapes and sizes. This same superior fit is also found in the 5.11 Tactical® Pant, the 5.11® Covert Khaki and the 5.11 Tactical® Shirt.

Quality
The authentic 5.11 Tactical® Shorts are the only shorts on the market with a 30-year history of delivering quality, functionality, comfort and value. It has consistently stood the test of time worldwide. Accept no imitations or look-alikes; the authentic 5.11 Tactical® Shorts are the genuine article.

      These shorts are great. The elastic ensures a comfortable fit. The material is tough and not wrinkly. Sturdy enough for yardwork, nice enough for an evening out.

        Comments about 5.11 Tactical Shorts - Men's, Cotton:

        Started wearing the shorts, shirts & pants over 15 years ago (Yes that's pre 9/11). My team liked 5.11 so well, we had them adopted as the offical uniform of the team. When I retired, I continued and will continue to wear 5.11 shorts, polos and pants. They fit well, are comfortable (This is really important to a retired guy) and just look good.

          Comments about 5.11 Tactical Shorts - Men's, Cotton:

          I've searched and owned many a pair of shorts, and the best I've found to carry concealed with are Carhart- until I bought my first pair of 5.11 Tac Shorts. The strap on the backside above the pocket helps retain a concealed carry Serpa, keeping it tucked in closer to your body. I went from "barely noticeable" to "total concealment" with these shorts.
