It's summer time, so we can't always walk around in tactical pants... But, are there really any good tactical shorts options out there? These are maybe my current favorites, the 5.11 Tactical Terrain Shorts. They offer a generous fit (but not too baggy), a length that I like, and great pockets. It's not all great though - watch the full video to hear the rest of the good, and the bad.

    Love your reviews man! I have been liking the Wrangler Men's Authentics Outdoor Comfort Flex Cargo Short. You can find them on amazon. I live in SoCal where shorts are what you wear for 90% of the year. These have been solid for more than a year for me. I've taken them to the range, mountain biking, hiking, and just about everything else. The fit is great as well.They are solid especially for $20. They also make a pants version that I enjoy.

    In addition to larger belt loops, larger fly, and a different material (cotton/elastane blend probably), I would also want the interior pocket material to be a comfortable mesh and the back pockets to be internal instead of sewn-on pockets. Price would also have be $40 or less so I could buy 7 pairs to wear all the time.

    I thought I remembered from your reviews that you liked the Apex and the Ridgeline pants. I've said it on the previous video, but I'll say it again: Try the Apex and Vaporlite shorts. Vaporlites are modified Ridgelines, and Apex are pretty much like the pants.

    If you don't mind the extra cost, take take your tactical pants to a tailor and have them turn them into shorts, you can have the length you want. Mike likes eleven inch inseam, I like them a little longer at thirteen inches. Carry knee pads in your EDC or BO bag if the SHTF while you're wearing shorts.

    Hey man, I feel ya about designing a good pair of shorts or pants. I've reached out to several companies and they either don't respond or make me send my resume, then don't respond. But I guess a product designer doesn't count because I'm not an 'operator'. Anyhow, I'll help design some pants if you get anyone to respond. I've got some ideas I haven't seen so far. I don't understand why it's so hard to make stuff that makes sense. lol

    Joylessburrito 8 I’m skinny. I wear 32 waist, but I fit into a lot of 30 waist clothes so I’m really a “31” waist. I just buy my usual waist size and the pants stretch a little. I always wear a belt so it’s never an issue.

    5.11 Shorts always look like they are made for an old man. Always cut too short in the length. My solution has been to take their regular Tac-lite pants, or stryke pants and have them cut off and hemmed.

    John Space I'm guessing you mean the Fast-tac Urban pants. I wonder if this is going to happen on all new runs of pants or only some models. My black pants (Stryke and Ridgeline) are both from last year and have been worn alot, nothing on them yet, I will see how my battle brown apex pants hold up, bought them 4 weeks ago. Did you notice the fading after washcycles or just with wear? Also, is it a uniform fading or only some areas/ spots. Try contacting 5.11 to see what they say about it.
